Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux When I try to create a link to my DVD recorder device, the device combo box does not contain the device. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tell Dolphin to create a new CD Recorder device link. 2. Choose the Device tab and expand the Device choice pop-up menu. Actual Results: 1. Dolphin displays a device link properties window named CDWRITER-Device.desktop. 2. Hard disks and irrelevant devices, e.g. proc and sysfs (!). Expected Results: 2. The CD Recorder device (/dev/sr0). OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34-12-desktop Compiler: gcc As a workaround, I can just type the device into the box.
The link thus created contains the following keyword: UnmountIcon=cdwriter_unmount That causes the link to appear as a question mark because such an icon does not exist in KDE4.

The list of devices shown in the properties dialog comes from /etc/fstab, that's why you're seeing your partitions and not /dev/sr0 if it's not there. But then you can't mount it, can you? (unless you run KDE as root) (If you get an error even when it's in fstab, that's because of bug 172023, which I just fixed.)
The CD-ROM drive is not in registered in static fstab because: 1. Solid had problems with handling removable media when I put it there. 2. YaST refuses to consider removable media drives for static configuration. I cannot mount removable media using the shortcut but Solid does it for me. I only use the shortcut to pull the tray. This gives me an error message from mount. However, it is still better than not being able to pull the tray at all. (Pulling the tray should be handled by the Device Notifier but it is not.)
Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719
Is this still an issue in more recent versions of KDE?
No response -> I assume that it works now.
I can have /dev/sr0 in fstab with no side effects now.
