Hi, I've several (KDE) etch systems that can't access removable devices attached to the system.
In detail: When I plug in an usb memory stick, nothing happens. No syslog entries or whatsoever. But I can see the device with "lsusb". When I klick on an icon in the konqueror "Storage Media" menu, then I get the error message "Feature only available with HAL". The menu item "Enable HAL backend" in "Control Center"->"Storage Media" is greyed out, even when I start the Control Center as root. Actually hald is running: (but why does ps show the numerical uid "106" instead of "haldaemon" as the process owner?) # ps faux | grep hal 106 2707 0.0 0.2 6216 4696 ?
