kde4 and device-notifier

[tkjacobsen]

Hi all

When I plug in an usb stick i see it in dmesg and can verify that hald recognizes it (by running it with verbose output), however the device-notifier in kde4 does not respond.

Hope anyone can help me.

Thanks in advance

Instead of this:


<config version="0.1">
<match user="root">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<define_admin_auth group="wheel"/>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<match user="myuser">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed">
<match user="myuser">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>
</config>



Try this...


<config version="0.1">
<define_admin_auth group="wheel"/>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</config>


Give that a go and let me know how you go... I had a similar issue recently trying to mount MMC SD media.

It turns out no changes were needed, but an update to KDE 4.3 fixed the problem.
