When I mount a USB memory device whether it be a key or a hd in an

device mounts, I just don't get a display of the contents. Mounting
the same device as root in KDE works without error.
Am I dealing with a HAL issue or a KDE issue?
I have really no idea, but maybe we can find something out.
- Is /media empty before you plug in your USB device?
- What filesystem is on your USB device?
- Instead of logging into KDE login on console (tty?), plug in you USB
device and run "gnome-mount -d <devicefiles>". If it works, the problem
is probably on KDE's side. If it does not work, it's probably HAL's
issue.
- Did you change something in HAL?... :-) .fdi files or something like
this?
I don't even get a 'mount pop-up' in kde when I plug-in an usb-hd. Manually mounting (mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test) works.
When I try gnome-mount -d /dev/sdb1 running as root I get a pop-up 'You are not privileged to mount ..'. Yeah, right.
FC6 works...
