Cdemu issues (again), this time with KDE Device Notifier

OK, so I'm having trouble with cdemu again. This time it's not about mounting an image, but getting rid of it
Essentially, when I load an image with the cdemu client, KDE Device Notifier immediately recognises it as an inserted optical media... which is cool.
However, when I try to unload it with cdemu, it stays "stuck" in KDE Device Notifier, and I can't access any other image which I mount via cdemu afterwards.
In other words, I do the following...
cdemu load 0 <name>.iso
The image appears to be successfully loaded, and I can access it's contents with no trouble at all. KDE Device Notifier sees it normally, can mount it and open it in Dolphin.
Then, when I'm done with it, I do the following...
cdemu unload 0
This apparently unloads the image, as I can't open it in Dolphin anymore (or any other application within KDE), but KDE Device Notifier still sees it as if the "optical drive" is inserted, and it won't go away. If I try loading another image in cdemu, KDE will still see the previous one, and I won't be able to do anything with it.
I cannot mount or unmount it, I cannot open it in Dolphin or any other application (obviously, because the image isn't mounted anymore), but KDE Device Notifier still insists that it's there, and won't let me access any other image mounted via cdemu.
Since I have very little experience with cdemu and KDE's logs, I don't know what else I should post here, or where to find it...
Any advice or idea would be much appreciated. TIA!

Today the issue disappeared!
I don't understand, yesterday I spent my whole afternoon trying to find why it was not recognised, I rebooted a few times without any luck. In the evening I still had a cdemu iso mounted and left my laptop in "suspend to ram" state, and this morning as soon as I wake from suspend to ram I have a notification from device notifier that my iso is available! I tried to unmount / mount and reboot then mount / unmount, it now works fine...
So it seems the issue fixed itself... Don't know how though..
And the new version of kde-cdemu-manager works fine as well.

  • [SOLVED] samba does not start properly again -this time with systemd

    Definitely no luck with this one...
    So, today I've switched to a pure systemd init system, and noticed that I have this old issue again.
    (Link to my old thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=142704)
    Samba doesn't start properly again, more precisely smbd is launched but not nmbd, so samba is not working as it should (for example smbtreee lists nothing).
    Last time I've solved it by putting samba long before networkmanager in the daemons array, but with systemd I'm a bit confused...
    Anyone has this issue?

  • KDE Device Notifier does not autohide

    The KDE device notifier appears when a new mass storage device is plugged in. In the past it would autohide after a few seconds if I didn't take any action. But now, it stays on the screen forever, until I click on it to hide it. It's pretty annoying.
    I've had this before and solved it by reinstalling my whole system and starting with a fresh profile. I hope someone knows an easier fix? There is nothing interesting in .xsession-errors when I plug it in:
    kded(995)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
    kded(995)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:

    xvello,
    The issue might be in hal
    I could hug you
    You're absolutely right. Hal was the culprit. Under /etc/hal/fdi/information/ there were two files "media-check-disable-storage_model_<my CDs model name>" and both of them had a line:
    <merge key="storage.media_check_enabled" type="bool">false</merge>
    Setting them to
    <merge key="storage.media_check_enabled" type="bool">true</merge>
    reenabled the notification of KDE's device Notifier.
    As users always say: I never changed this
    Marking this as solved.
    Thanks a lot

  • [SOLVED] 0 B Removeable Media in KDE Device Notifier

    Hi all.
    Recently, I noticed a entry in the KDE Device Notifier named "0 B Removeable Media". I haven't the foggiest idea what this is or how it got there. Does anyone have an idea as to how I should go about removing or hiding this entry? Does anyone know where this "ghost" entry is from?
    Thanks in advance.

    The entry is in the Device Manager with a new user.

  • Solved! KDE Device Notifier Never Activates

    Sorry for the Newbie question.  I'm an old Gentoo user, but new to Arch.
    I want KDE to present me with a device notifier pop-up whenever I insert a USB disk.  I don't want to automatically mount the device, but I do want to get a notification so that I can mount if if desired. 
    Currently, dmesg sees the USB disk, and I can manually mount the USB device, but KDE never seems to know the new device is present.
    Do I therefore still need to follow the instructions in the udev wiki about auto-mounting?
    (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … SB_devices)
    Is there some other setting that I may have missed?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to Arch. How are you starting KDE and could you post the daemons from your rc.conf? I'm running KDE and the device notifier does pop up when inserting a USB or any other device. Are you also saying that it doesn't auto-mount also?
    Here's my daemons list, FWIW.

  • KDE Device Notifier command for specific Konqueror View Profile?

    Hi,
    I added a custom action in KDE device notifier widget for optical devices to be opened with Konqueror. However, is it possible to modify that command so that Konqueror opens with a specific view profile?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thanks a bunch!
    However, one tiny problem still persists: When I execute konqueror --profile <profile_name> %f, a Konqueror window split into four opens, one showing the optical device but the other three are void. My view profile indeed splits the window into 4 sub-windows, but what I'm trying to do is basically view the optical device in one sub-window while the others show two certain websites and one samba shared folder.
    I know it sounds weird, but is it at least possible?

  • KDEmod (KDE) device notifier won't unmount devices

    I'm using KDEmod 4.4 currently, but this has been happening since 4.3 using plain KDE too.  For some reason, when I use the device notifier to mount a flash drive and then try to unmount it, I sometimes get the "Could not unmount the device. One or more files on this device are open within an application" error message.  However, I am able to unmount from the command line, so I think it must just be an issue with device notifier.

    On my install, whenver I save files to my desktop (KDE 4.3.2) the files don't show up until I rightclick the desktop and click "refresh". The same thing happens when I delete a file. When I delete a file, the file still shows up on my desktop until I rightclick and refresh the desktop.
    Whatever KDE uses to monitor when files are deleted and whatnot is not working.
    I have the same issue here. I belive it's because of the current kernel. Take a look at this http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16193?st … &closedto=

  • Accented characters again, this time in WEB module

    Hi,
    today I made an amazing discovery: even if the language and user interface of LR (2.0) is set to German, there is no provision to deal with accented characters (üöä) in the web galleries. These are taken directly into the generated html files.
    Some web servers can deal with that, some can not and need \&\a\u\m\l\; (w/o backslashes) instead of ä. LR does not do the conversion. One could say that now that I know I should just enter directly the html code. Well, the problem with that is that I might have keywords or a caption with accented characters that I want to display in the web gallery. Also, the (next|previous) marks for switching pages are (Weiter|Zurück) in German and there I have the problem. I don't even know, where the HTML templates are hidden, maybe I could change Zurück to html code there.
    What can I do about this? Can anyone help?
    Thanxx, PM

    If the page's encoding is UTF-8 (check the encoding meta tag) there is
    no need for special characters to be converted to html entities.
    If they don't display correctly it's usually the server serving them as
    ISO-something when it shouldn't. That would need to be sorted out with
    the hosting company.

  • Another help on "List"....this time with double

    how to use a "List" that contains a "double[]" to pass to another method thas has a "double[]" args...
    example....
                List dlist = new ArrayList();
             double tmp[]=new double[]{2.0, 3.2, 3};
             boolean ad=dlist.add(tmp);
               void store(double d[])   // <<-- dlist should be pass here as args thru d[].... How????
                    // some code goes here...
               }

    Hi,
    You do know that list.add(doubleArray) only adds the array as an element. It doesn't add the values of the array to the list.
    So, this works:
    List dlist = new ArrayList();
    double tmp[]=new double[]{2.0, 3.2, 3};
    boolean ad=dlist.add(tmp);
    double[] result = (double[])dlist.get(0);But I really doubt that this is what you want to do.
