Version: kdelibs-3.5.6-4.fc6 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux I have been experiencing the following behavior for about two months: eject a cd, place another (or same cd) in tray and close; CPU load jumps to ~100% with kded consuming most; dialog box opens "Mounting /dev/hda", progress remains at 0%, eventually dialog disappears; CPU load remains at ~100%, CPU temperature climbs, must kill kded manually; cd does in fact mount auto-magically; the "Storage Media" dialog does not appear to ask what to do ("Open in new window", "Do nothing", "Cancel", etc.). NOTE: I use knemo, which I saw mentioned when researching this bug. knemo disappears when kded is killed. I tried playing with /etc/fstab, here is mine (at the moment, after several hacks), last line is cd/dvd-rw: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/c_drive ntfs-3g rw,defaults,umask=022 0 0 /dev/hda /media/disk auto exec,noauto,rw,users 0 1 uname -a Linux presario.localdomain 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 #1 SMP Fri Apr 27 19:48:40 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Compaq Presario SR2020NX, AMD 64 3500+ (~2.2GHz), nvidia GeForce 6150 LE, LightScribe Double/Dual Layer 16x max DVD±R/RW drive, HDD SATA sda & sdb.
I'm experiencing this exact bug in KDE 3.5.7 installed from upgrading Slackware 11.0 to 12.0. If I have no entry for my cdrom drive, upon inserting a disk HAL/DBUS will automount the disk to /media/<volume name>. If I insert an entry in to fstab for my cdrom drive and insert a disk, I get the kded behavior described in the original bug report. Kernel is 2.6.21.5 on an HP Compaq nx6110 laptop, Pentium M, Intel 915GM Centrino chipset.
This is also happenning on my gentoo, running kde 3.5.7 if I add an entry for the cdrom in my /etc/fstab: /dev/cdrom1 /media/cdrom auto user,noauto,ro 0 0
I also can confirm this bug on kde 3.5.7 on gentoo having an entry in fstab for the cdrom.
This propably the same problem as bug# 206317 /Carsten - Denmark
