I will guess that this would be good advice if it was possible. But
hal doesn't even create a device for it.
It happened again after a reboot with the drive plugged in.
Plugged it into gnome laptop and it mounted fine. This is the same
version of k/ubuntu. And it it isn't the individual machine. At home
I have a kubuntu 8.04 desktop and a laptop with ubuntu (gnome) 8.04 on
a laptop. Automounts on the laptop, and won't even create an
unmounted device on the desktop. At work, it is the same thing.
Ignored by kubuntu 8.04 desktop, and automounts on Ubuntu 8.10 desktop
and winxp desktop.
Why is kubuntu or kde having a problem with this drive that other
systems do not have?
I am going to try it on my experimental kubuntu 8.10 install at work today.
