Something interesting happened after upgrading hal. When I logged in the next morning, a CD that had already been mounted for the last few days (by gvm on /media/cdrecorder) showed up as mounted on nautilus (changed icon on computer:///) and its icon appeared on the desktop. I thought the problem had been fixed, but when I umounted this CD and inserted another one there was no change on nautilus (computer:///) and no icon showed up on the desktop, just like before the hal upgrade. Another difference after the hal upgrade is that, before CDs would be automatically mounted (by gvm) at /media/cdrecorder, now they are automatically mounted at /media/hdc. Similarly, my USB disk which used to be mounted at /media/UDISK now is mounted at /media/sdb1.
Mounted floppies show up as mounted on nautilus (computer:///) and their icons appear on the desktop. The output of 'lshal --monitor' when I insert a CD in the drive is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> lshal --monitor Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- volume_label_mp3_files added Hope this helps. - Ivan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
