I do agree with these thoughts, but then again, for myself, I hate it when the system does things automatically for me - as happens when I put a CD in the drive... So would it be possible to add some option/setting along the lines of: I am an expert user who like to do things manually. I am a novice user who likes the system to do things for me. You could add this into the 'first login' thing that allows you to configure your window/desktop theme, mouse options, animation options, etc... Linux has always been about choice, and I think this would be a good choice to give users. This may eventually be done by the desktop with something like gnome-volume-manager; it won't be done by kudzu. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031202 Description of problem: There are several simple USB Mass storage devices (keychain memory, digital cameras, mp3 players, memory card readers) around there, and every of them are recognized (and mounted), for instance, on windows xp. This makes the life much easier for everyone. Imagine a system administrator which has his own files/programs on one of this keychains - that would be used only by the time he/she sits in front of a machine - it would be a lot quicker if he/she just plug the chain in usb and it's working - no manual mounting needed. Or imagine a newbie user, when his friend comes with his new digital camera, and when its plugged, nothing happens unless one of them knows what is /etc/fstab, what scsi device to mount, well, you got the picture. And you can be sure the machine owner will grasp "hey, I just plugged on my mac, turned it on and the icon appeared" This would make redhat/fedora linuxes friendlier, and is not that difficult to do. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kudzu-1.1.36-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug a usb mass storage device not previously configured on this machine 2. Some /var/log/messages lines, and that's it Actual Results: Nothing, unless you manually change device's permission, create a /mnt/whatever, change /etc/fstab, log out gnome/kde session, log in again and right-click the screen and manually mounts the device. Expected Results: The device's icon appear on the screen as soon as it's plugged into the machine. The exact same behaviour of inserting a cd-rom. Additional info:
