Dear ilugc members,
For a few days now, KDE has stopped automounting my USB and CDs. I
seem to have to mount them myself now. To perform some diagnostics, I
attempted to purge and reinstall hal, udev and kdebase-kioplugins, but
to no avail.
Then, to check if the problem was something in my KDE dotfiles, I
moved away my .kde and tried again, but it failed once more. Finally,
I created a new user and added that user to most of the relevant
groups (inclding plugdev), but I still failed to get it working.
Most of the forum posts I have read suggest one of the solutions I
seem to have tried above already, and really wonder how to proceed.
Could someone make any suggestion, please?
The relevant packages with their versions:
ii kdebase-kio-plugins 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-5 core I/O slaves for KDE
ii udev 0.125-5 /dev/ and hotplug
management daemon
ii hal 0.5.11-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer
ii dbus 1.2.1-3 simple interprocess messaging system
I should also mention that on one occasion immediately after I noticed
that automount had stopped working, it suddenly worked when I
restarted X, but not since.
Thanks very much.
