Public bug reported: After updating to the latest HAL version (0.5.7-1ubuntu18.2) in kubuntu dapper with kde 3.5.5 installed it is no longer possible to mount USB sticks. Unfortunately this seems to be a very recurrent problem and occurs every time that there is either a KDE or a HAL update. Once again the descriptive error message reads: "An unknown error has occurred" when trying to double-click the USB icon when "media:/" is selected in konqueror. Again, mounting as root works. Please find additional detailed descriptions of this problem in bug # 65662.
