Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.80) OS: Linux After upgrade to 4.6 Beta, KDE register every hard drive and partition twice. For example i have one 500GB hdd labeled "Temp". But KDE (in places/removable devices list) show: "500 GB Hard Drive" and "Temp". And so on every hdd and partiton. Reproducible: Didn't try
Both hal and udisks running?
If i understand output correctly, yes. ps aux| grep hal 102 1776 0.0 0.1 46900 5104 ? Ssl 11:02 0:00 /usr/sbin/hald --use-syslog --verbose=yes root 1777 0.0 0.0 20344 1392 ?

That's the reason, then.
So Solid checking both of them for info ? Why if from 4.6 Beta KDE depends on udisk ?
KDE 4.6 can use both HAL and udisks for getting disks information. If both are running, KDE/solid will expose devices coming from both.

I can confirm this. See bug 258893. (In reply to comment #5) > KDE 4.6 can use both HAL and udisks for getting disks information. > If both are running, KDE/solid will expose devices coming from both. I don't see the rationale for exposing devices coming from both. Is there even a use case, when the two frameworks report different devices? Also, I reckon the information provided by the frameworks should be sufficient to identify and filter duplicates.

I can confirm that removing the HAL resolves the issue. However minimum gimp and k3b are depending on it. If the HAL and udev running at the same time you will get duplicate info about the battery as well.

SVN commit 1206281 by ervin: Seems the new backends now work good enough. So retire the old HAL backend on Linux, it's still the default on other unices though. On Linux it can be reactivated using the SOLID_HAL_LEGACY environment variable.
