Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Description of problem: I created a folderview applet on the desktop then added several links to devices (partitions on both an external USB drive and an internal SATAII drive). The drives' entries in /etc/fstab include the user option and the partitions mount as expected from konsole. Trying to mount them from the links in the folderview applet gives me a message that only root can mount this device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde 4.2 beta 2 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up entries in fstab that include user and noauto options 2. Add folderview app to desktop 3. Add links to the appropriate devices 4. Try to mount.
If you try to open this links from Dolphin, do you get the same issue? I guess this is a bug on kdelibs more than in folderview itself. (the class that mounts devices) Thanks
Re: Comment #1 Same behavior under Folderview and Dolphin. Using Mandriva Cooker (kdelibs4-4.2.88-1mdv2010.0) on x86_64.
Isn't it a problem with HAL ? If I'm not wrong, HAL refuse to mount a device when it is present in /etc/fstab.
Hi, kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years. KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have resolved this bug. If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue. We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.
