From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: The devices icons on the KDE desktop do not work, because they are configured for /dev and not udev. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install KDE 2. Log into KDE 3. Click on a device icon (e.g CD/DVD-ROM) on the desktop Actual Results: Error message: can't find device Expected Results: Mounts the device in question Additional info: The problem is that the KDE desktop icons are configured with /dev entries (CD/DVD-ROM points to /dev/cdrom) and the system uses udev. Fix: Users have to re-configure device properties for udev, e.g for CD/DVD-ROM: /dev/hda (/media/cdrecorder)
please remove the CD.desktop and floppy.desktop your $HOME/Desktop/ and enable "Show device icons" afterward (kcontrol->Desktop->Behavior->Device Icons->Show divice icons. It will work for you The kdebase-3.3.1-6 will enable "Show device icons" as default. It will be release after FC3 official released.
Reopened, since the suggested solution has problems. After enabling how devide icons (I selected unmounted/mounted CD/DVD), I have two icons on the desktop: CD-ROM (hdc) [/media/cdrecorder1] CD-ROM (hdd) [/media/cdrecorder] Note: hdc is in reality a CD-RW/DVD and hdd is a DVD-RW, so the logical names aren´t quite correct. 1. Renaming these icons does not work, although it is authorized: Since the name of (hdd) is not quite right, I tried to rename it by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Rename'. This highlights the name, as expected, and lets me retype another name. However, upon finish (clicking elsewhere or typing Enter), I get two popups: - Information: "Could not delete file devices:/dev/hddmediacdrecorder - Copy file progress (Source:devices:/dev/hddmediacdrecorder, Destination blank) stalled at 0% 2. The hdc device does not work. I did not try it before, and it does not mount from the command line ('mount /media/cdrecorder'), so this is rather a udev/mount question. I get the error message: mount:/dev/hdc already mounted or /media/cdrecorder busy Please check that the disk is entered correctly In /etc/fstab: /dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder1 auto pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
