Description Dan 2011-04-23 02:18:45 UTC
Version:           2.0.2 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

	K3B for KDE 4 doesn't recognize my dvd writer... It returns:

No optical drive found.
K3b did not find any optical device in your system.
Solution: Make sure HAL daemon is running, it is used by K3b for
finding devices.

	***

	Well, hal is running:

fraga@tux ~/src/k3b-2.0.2/b$ ps axw|grep hal
 1259 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep hal
 3305 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/local/sbin/hald --daemon=yes
 3372 ?        S      0:00 hald-runner
 3379 ?        S      0:00 hald-addon-input: Listening on /dev/input/event7 /dev/input/event0 /dev/input/event5 /dev/input/event4 /dev/input/event1 /dev/input/event2
 3413 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/libexec/hald-addon-cpufreq
 3414 ?        S      0:00 hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket /var/run/acpid.socket
 3415 ?        S      0:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sdb (every 2 sec)
 3418 ?        S      0:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sr0 (every
2 sec)

	***

	The dvd device is /dev/sr0.

	So what's the problem? Thanks.

	Ps: Using KDE 4.6.41 (GIT).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just start k3b.

Actual Results:  
Failed to detect drive.

Expected Results:  
No error message.

With k3b for kde3 everything worked fine. The k9copy application uses the 
dvd drive fine.
