Description Wolfgang Strehlow 2011-01-19 09:21:20 UTC 
Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.5.95) 
OS:                Linux

When inserting an USB-drive it is not shown by the device-manager in the system tray and is therefor not accessible.
In the Control Center (version 4.3.5) the usb-device is listed!

External USB-drives mounted by the system on startup are also not shown but are accessible by file manager.
Optical drives and SCSI-scanner are not available, software doesnt find them.

Everything worked fine with KDE 4.5. I don not remember that I deleted relavant files, but who knows?

Any ideas what's wrong? 





Reproducible: Always




Problem occurs only with OpenSuse 11.2.
My notebook with 11.3 works fine.
Comment 1 Pino Toscano 2011-01-19 09:44:07 UTC 
Do you have udisks installed and running?
Comment 2 Wolfgang Strehlow 2011-01-19 12:31:37 UTC 
No, udisks is not installed. 
If I should need it, wher can I find it, its not in the repos.
Comment 3 Will Stephenson 2011-01-19 17:57:52 UTC 
There was no udisks in openSUSE 11.2.

Set SOLID_HAL_LEGACY=1 in your environment (before starting KDE, in .profile or similar) and you can use the old HAL backend.
Comment 4 Will Stephenson 2011-01-19 18:05:38 UTC 
PS I just found a udisks that builds for 11.2 and have added it to KDE:Distro:Factory for openSUSE 11.2 along with the dbus-1-glib that it requires.

You will have to manually install it since the dependency on it is not in kdelibs4 yet.
Comment 5 Wolfgang Strehlow 2011-01-19 21:16:56 UTC 
Thanks Will, 
but....

there are no rpms in the repo you mentioned.
I browsed 
download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Distro:/Factory/openSUSE_11.2/ and all the subdirs but didnt find anything.

In which folder can I find ".profile or similar"?

Thanks

Solved, I found the rpms, everything works fine.
Tanks a lot.
