 |

Hi,
since updating to kde 4.6.2 I can't mount /dev/fd0 with the kde device icon on my desktop anymore.
| Code: | $ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.14 2003/10/13 20:03:38 azarah Exp $
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/sdb6 /mnt/store ext2 noatime 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 |

I can mount with udisks. What's wrong with kde? |

Remove the /dev/fd0 line from /etc/fstab. |

Without /dev/fd0 in /etc/fstab I get the following error:
| Code: | Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: Konnte /mnt/floppy nicht in /etc/fstab oder /etc/mtab finden |
The last line is means, that /mnt/floppy wasn't find in /etc/fstab. |

Some additional hints:
1. After I have mounted the floppy with udisks, I can unmount it with the floppy device in kde.
2. When the floppy is not defined in /etc/fstab I can't configure the kde floppy device.
The kde floppy device is only a configuration file. Does someone know, which program process this configuration file? |

Do you actually need that desktop file? I think it might be causing the problem. It seems strange that you're using that file to mount your floppy drive. It looks like a shortcut to format a floppy disk.
I use gnome, but I think kde handles removable devices automatically. You should just be able to insert a disk and then it will be mounted automatically. |

If the floppy could be mounted with the kde device notifier it would be great. But until now the floppy is not even visible yet. That's why I try to use the "old" kde way.
I also wonder about the content of the configuration file. Probably it's a list of additional user actions. This actions were also available with older kde versions. |

Either I'm the only one who has this problem or the only one who still use a floppy.
Are there someone else who is still using a floppy? How do you mount it? |

I've been playing with kde 4.5.1 and 4.6.3 in virtualbox. I think I have reproduced your problem. In kde 4.5.1 the floppy drive shows up in dolphin. However, media is not detected automatically, but at least the device is available. The only way I can mount a floppy in kde 4.6.3 is by doing "udisks --mount /dev/fd0".
I'm not sure yet, but I think it might have something to do with this change in udisks:

Fix long hangs on probing nonexistant floppy drives
A lot of modern machines do not have a floppy drive any more, but still have a
floppy controller somewhere (or at least the BIOS pretends to). Trying to
open(/dev/fd0) on these machines causes long hangs, which lead to long desktop
startup times.
To fix this, avoid probing floppies for media in update_info().

Or maybe not. I'm really not sure.
Would you be willing to try downgrading to udisks 1.0.1? It's not in portage anymore, but I retrieved it from cvs:
http://www.filedropper.com/udisks-101-ebuildstar
There are two ebuilds included: udisks-1.0.1-r2.ebuild applies the patch for the above commit and udisks-1.0.1-r1.ebuild does not. |

You may want to get the ebuilds from cvs yourself. You can do that like this:
| Code: | | cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gentoo.org:/var/cvsroot co -D 2010-08-22 gentoo-x86/sys-fs/udisks |

| I've just noticed your kernel version. Before trying to downgrade udisks, please try upgrading to the latest stable kernel. The latest stable gentoo kernel is gentoo-sources-2.6.38-r6. You are running gentoo-sources-2.6.37-r4. |

I've already updated to linux-2.6.38-gentoo-r6
Today I've downgraded to sys-fs/udisks-1.0.1-r1. But problem is still there. The floppy isn't visible in dolphin. |

Ok, so it wasn't that. But I've found the general cause of the problem. KDE's hardware library (which is called "solid") was using hal to enumerate and query storage devices. Now it uses udisks. And, for some reason, when it uses udisks, floppy drives don't show up.
I don't know how to fix this, but I've found a way to work around it. It is possible to tell kde to go back to using hal (http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=93337). It's not so simple with Gentoo because hal is blocked by upower which is needed by kde. You would have to copy the upower ebuild to an overlay and remove !sys-apps/hal from DEPEND and RDEPEND. Then re-emerge upower and emerge hal. Then add "export SOLID_HAL_LEGACY=1" to /usr/bin/startkde (just after where it says "export SOLID_HAL_LEGACY=1").
Then your floppy drive will appear in dolphin again. |

I meant to say "just after where it says "export KDE_SESSION_UID"". Apparently I made a mistake with the clipboard. |
