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.
Do you have udisks installed and running?
No, udisks is not installed. If I should need it, wher can I find it, its not in the repos.
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.
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.
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. Wolfgang
