I was about to ask for help with a problem mounting removable media in KDE
and FC5, but I just stumbled on the solution. It turns out, if you have an
entry in /etc/fstab such as
/dev/sda1 /media/usb vfat user,noauto 0 0
(a leftover from FC3 days)
then KDE cannot automount an USB stick that is assigned sda. The panel pops
up,
"A new medium has been detected"
Medium type: Unmounted removable medium
I say "Open in new window". After a while a konqueror window opens, with
location system:/media/sda1 but there is an ugly sound and an error panel
pops up: "Permissions denied". I can mount it manually from a shell.
Without this entry, it suddenly works, the type changes to "mounted
removable medium".
hope this helps others wondering why it doesn't work.
