Description Nicolas L. 2009-01-02 00:02:54 UTC 
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.
