I did a fresh install of 11.2 (giving OpenSUSE a try after being on Ubuntu for years). I then enabled the community and packman repos. Now, I have noticed that the eject button that normally appears on the Device Notifier plasmoid is gone. I can still click on where that button should be and the device (CD in this case) will still eject. It's just that the button is "invisible."
View 2 RepliesRight clicking on the desktop CD icon eventually ejects it. But it still can't be ejected using the button.

Now I am probably being obtuse, but If I click on the wonderfully named "My Computer" I get, among other things, a display of Disk Information; hard drive partitions and any DVDs or CDs. If I let my mouse cursor alight on any of these, I get a message "Press the right mouse button for more options (such as Mount or Eject)" But if I press the right mouse button, I don't get those options; I get a message "Open in new window, Open in new tab, Open with ..., Create file project with K3b, and Compress ...".

and after that my dolphin places, doesent shows removeable devices and other partitions enymore (so i couldnt mount any partion using gui)
I'm using OpenSuse 11.4 (x86_64) with KDE 4.
It's not possible to mount external USB (ntfs) disks with a non-root user using the Device Notifier or Dolphin. The error is:
Could not mount the following device: MyBook 2
org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.PermissionDenied: Authentication is required
It is a permission problem; running Dolphin under root and clicking the USB disk mounts it without problems. The same should be possible to an ordinary user. The Update Applet does not work for the same reason (I can only install updates using yast).
Of course, I googled the error and there were a number of possible solutions, which I all tried. That includes allowing the action in the policy and adding the user in AdminIdentities local-authority. The file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy contains "yes" for every option. Needless to say it doesn't make sense and I'm out of options.
OpenSuse 11.4 32bit KDE 4.6.0
When I plug in my 8 GB SanDisk Cruzer USB stick into my desktop box, the KDE Device Notifier fails to recognize it. It will recognize every other USB stick. "fsck" reports no errors. I can mount it manually. I can read and write to it. The Device Notifier on my netbook recognizes it. So does another desktop box. By the way this started recently so I suspect some software update.
I upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3 yesterday, using a 64-bit Dell 1535 laptop.
With the new version, I find that the Device Notifier no longer detects my mp3 player through any of the USB ports. Neither does Dolphin.
Similar threads that I've read through have not done the trick.
Automount of external NTFS USB drive fails when using the Device Notifier. The automount facility failed after the last kernel update. A bug report was kindly filed by @saverios. The details are in the quote at the end of this notice. Pending resolution of the bug, we recommend that you install the following workaround: Open the file /etc/filesystems and add an entry for "ntfs" so the file looks similar to this (see last entry):
Code:
vfat
hfs
minix
reiserfs
ntfs .....
kde 4.3.4 kernel 2.6.32.7-smp Have Seagate 500GB (fuseblk) external usb drive that gets listed in the "Devices recently plugged in, pop-up panel" but a Verbatim 1.5TB does not. I have to mount it manually as ntfs volume.
eg bash-3.1# mount /dev/sdd1 /verbatim
/dev/sdc1 fuseblk 4.0G 598M 3.5G 15% /media/Free-4GB
/dev/sdd1 ntfs 1.4T 401G 997G 29% /verbatim
/dev/sdc2 fuseblk 462G 409G 54G 89% /media/FreeAgentDrive
When I boot using the Mint distro on same PC both ext usb drives are automounted. Looking for pointers as to why the 1.5TB verbatim disk does not automount.
When i insert a cd or memory stick and try to eject it i see the message:"Cannot eject the disk. One or more files on this disk are open within an application."And of course i can't eject it. To eject the cd i must reboot my PC.I have tested to insert a cd without open something from it with no results.Always shows the same message.I also want to notice that except dolphin i use nautilus which is necessary for Dropbox.

it happens every 30 minutes to every 10 seconds. anyone ever experience something like this?
After an update today, nothing I plug into USB triggers the notifier to ask me what to do. I see the devices in dmesg

why notifier just stopped working? I've tried with several devices that all worked previously.
The only way I can eject a cd from either of my drivers is to restart my pc. The buttons don't work and neither does the eject control withing the device widget in my panel. It says the device is in use even though I am done with it. This is stupid. Everything else in this operating system is beautiful and works great (except the version of Audacity had to be replaced with one that is actually usable.) Other than that everything is great , way better than windows - but I can't do something as SIMPLE as eject a cd??? How stupid is that?? I am actually angry - being angry at a computer is something that happens when using windows computers - should not happen whilst using OpenSuse.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIt happens regardless of which DVD I put in the tray.
Initially, openSUSE recognizes that the DVD is, in fact, there. I go to any one media player, play the DVD, and exit when I'm done.
And then the DVD is gone. As far as openSUSE is concerned, anyway. I cannot eject the tray to remove the DVD, which prompts a total reboot.
Is there any way to dispose of this problem?
I have started to use K3b for ripping my CDs to flac files in order to put them on a NAS but have a few niggles with how it works.
I used to use Grip and in many ways preferred the interface and flexibility but had to change because I didn't know how to increase the number of attempts made by cdparanoia to rip difficult tracks and Grip fell down on one particular brand new CD opera set.
After posting queries here Asunder was suggested, among others and although (I understand,) Asunder also rips using cdparanoia, it succeeded on a CD where Grip failed. It also had a reasonable interface and it was easy to adjust tagging before ripping. Unfortunately Asunder has recently failed on another CD so I decided to try K3b.
K3b allows me to adjust the number of retries and this has been sufficient to enable me to overcome the most recalcitrant CDs. Great, but in many other respects K3b is a pain to use. I cannot find how to get it to eject the CD once ripping has been completed. Even after the CD has been ejected the track tags remain in the display until a new CD is loaded and the tagging interface is limited.
Apart from KsCD and CD Player, (both of which are pretty good, but very basic), I have found it impossible to eject any music CD or DVD on any of the following:
Amarok
JuK
Media Kaffeine
MPlayer and
SMPlayer,
there does not seem to be any button, command or whatever to get the CD or DVD out of the drive, so now find that only way, is to stop player and then to open CD Player and use the eject button there.
I have a relatively stock OpenSuse 11.3 install with only the Packman and VLC additional repositories enabled. When I insert a DVD into the DVD drive, it shows up as TWO identical entries in the notifier applet and in Dolphin. I am unable to eject the DVD; as soon as it opens it immediately closes. Once the drive closes again,KNotify crashes with the following stack trace:Application: KNotify (knotify4), signal: Segmentation fault [Current thread is 1 (Thread 0x7f05cb8e1760 (LWP 4197))]

I installed openSUSE 11.3 with KDE4 on three different computers. Only one of them has the following problem: When I use my Sandisk Cruzer USB-stick (FAT32 formatted), copying is extremely slow. Also, the taskbarpanel notifier does not show a progressbar or a cancel button during copying. It only shows that is copying but I can not cancel. On the other two computers, the same stick works ok. The computer has the following mainboard: Asus M4A87TD/USB3

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using a Three network broadband dongle for my net access at the moment. That's a ZTE MF-112.
It is obviously engineered for Windows and the procedure it goes through on a Windows box is to show up as a CD drive initially which then autoruns and checks for the presence of the drivers and installer software. Only after it has detected all that does it 'eject' the CD and bring the actual 3G device online.
This leads to a slight amount of... irritation. I tend to have a terminal window open anyway so typing /dev/cdrom1 eject whenever I put the dongle in is no particular hardship, bu there must be some way to automate this.
The device turns up on /dev/cdrom1 and the 'disc' has the label '3 Connect'.
how to auto eject this thing whenever it shows up?
I've been through Google looking for a method of ejecting an unrecognizable CD/DVD from a rewriter when the device's light is flashing. This happens more often than I like and it's annoying since the only reliable method I've found is to reboot.
If I insert a bad CD/DVD into the drive, the rewriter may or may not ever stop trying to read it. KDE gives me these bad CD/DVDs because it has the nasty habit of logging me off when it gets too busy doing who knows what (OK, so maybe I shouldn't be running KDE until v4.6, but that's another issue) leaving a partially burned disk in the drive and the light continuing to flash.
The problem is, the device thinks it's busy even though it's not really doing anything. I've tried umpteen variations on eject without success, turning off the lock in /proc, etc..
The old paperclip in the hole trick doesn't always work either. The disk tray may come out, but the device light still flashes. The device can't be used again until a reboot.
