Björn, I suspect your problem has nothing to do with KDE. I have a write up where I had the similar problem, however, under Ubuntu 6.06 I was mounting the other drive and /home partition using /media/[hard drive id] as the mount point. When /media worked for fixed hard drives icons for the drives appeared on the desktop, which allowed one to browse the drive contents in a GUI. Here is my current fstab file under 8.04 desktop:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sdb1 UUID=00300b8b-d2d4-4014-b819-c05f6676c6a9 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sdb2 UUID=4a2309f8-0410-4d04-b58d-a6e6f76924d3 /home ext3 relatime 0 2 # /dev/sdb3 UUID=623284e6-d203-447e-a602-f0d6abbb6363 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 # /dev/sda1 #UUID=d6e52f2c-da96-4009-8c68-fd1d9728bfbf /media/sda1/ ext3 relatime 0 2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1/ ext3 relatime 0 2 /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2/home ext3 relatime 0 2 Using /mnt as the mount point no longer has the icons on the desktop, however, files can be moved in either direction by the sudo account using rsync and yesterday as an unprivileged user I transferred odt files with the cp command from the 6.06 to 8.04 drive using a terminal window [a.k.a. tty]. Check out my article if you wish to see how I learned to solve the problem the hard way: http://bst-softwaredevs.com/howto/articles/Hardware-ubuntu-8-04-fstab- problems.html Being fearful of being inundated by spam, I left my contact email off: [EMAIL PROTECTED], contact me directly if you need any help.
