Version: (using Devel) Compiler: GCC-4.3.2 OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources If I remember well, Dolphin used to show the mounted partitions in the Places panel, but it doesn't do anymore. It means that there is now no way to access were partitions in KDE 4, since the Devices Notifier stopped showing them too (which seems logical to me).
It stopped showing them after what.. and update? KDE update and recompilation ? Distro upgrade? What is your KDE4 version (svn revision/branch) and Qt version ? Thanks
Qt 4.5.1 and KDE SVN from a few hours ago. Last time I used KDE 4 ( a few monthes ago), Dolphin was showing my partitions in the Places panel. Now I have absolutely no way to access to my partitions in KDE 4 which is quite annoying.
not showing partitions in Places was an intentional change (by.. Kevin, i think? Peter? hm.. anyways ....) reasons are that you can add them yourself if you wish and for most people it's just noise and space taken up in Places for no real reward. when you say "absolutely no way to access" what sort of features/interaction are you looking for, exactly?
Hmm I don't have just the Home and the Root partitions, but also a NTFS one and a second HDD which I'd like to acces easily, it's as simple as that. The Places panel gives the option to disable a single item, so, why not showing them by default? If it annoys someone, he still can disable them right? Adding a partition by myself in Places is possible yes, but not exactly user friendly, and, more than that, not that easy for newbies. I mean, does a beginner in Linux knows where to find it's partitions in order to add the shortcut?
Partitions are back! Thanks ;).
Partitions disappeared again in places and device notifier. Changing the option in device notifier doesn't change anything...
Ok, hal sees my partitions a "fixed", and doesn't show them, so I had to change a rule in hal policies to make them appear. But there is something I don't understand: Device Notifier has an option to show non-removable devices, but they didn't show until I changed hal's policy... isn't that a little wierd?
Mh, I think the Device Notifier options do not change the Places settings, so you should create a new bug report about it on plasma/widget-device-notifier. Thanks
Ok, but I'm not sure if it is a normal behavior or not. Maybe the dependancie to HAL settings is normal/inevitable?! Can someone confirm this before I open a useless bug report?
Works for me in KDE Frameworks 5.47.
