Description Martin van Es 2009-01-02 21:24:38 UTC
Version:           4.1.85 (beta 2) (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I added a disk icon for a smbfs entry in fstab that points to a samba share on my network (noauto). All is configured correctly for the user to mount the share (ownership of the mountpoint and users set in fstab).
If I mount the share in konsole (as user) everything works fine. When I doubleclick the desktop icon (when the share is unmounted) I receive an error telling me that 'only root can do that'.

I would expect the doubleclicking of the icon to mount the unmounted share and open it, just like the command "mount /mnt/share" does in terminal.

This 'bug' is still valid in 4.3.0 and I'd like to add that it's a regression. This used to work in KDE3.

@Dario: could this bug be related to solid? Thanks.

I'm running Fedora 12 which has KDE 4.3.3-4 installed and this bug is still present and very annoying since my network drives are all flagged as "user,noauto" in fstab and I have icons to them on my desktop so I could easily mount them on demand like I did with KDE 3.5.
Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2009-12-07 20:16:09 UTC
confirmed... I think this is better off assigned to something solid'ish too.
Comment 5 Martin van Es 2010-08-14 16:21:50 UTC
Still no luck in 4.5.0
Comment 6 Kevin Ottens 2010-10-02 14:31:21 UTC
This thing is not handled through solid AFAIK. That's the old way of handling that using desktop files which is somewhere in KIO IIRC.

Works for me in KDE Frameworks 5.45.
