[KDE] Device Icons Gone

I've been using arch with kde for some time and recently I enabled the testing repo (I know it was stupid) because compiz fusion no longer worked without it. Ever since then (at least I think that's what caused it, I don't use my pen drive much) the icons for pen drives and usb hard disks no longer appear on the desktop to allow me to easily mount them. Does anyone else have this problem and/or know a solution?
Thanks

You can also setup KDE to display a device icon on the desktop. To start or configure this feature in the KDE Control Center go to Desktop+Behavior and select the Device Icons Tab. The device icon action can be used to show both mounted and unmounted devices, or to only create an icon when media is detected and automounted (only if automount is properly configured), by not checking the unmounted boxes.

  • I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon.  Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

  • Devices Icon not showing up

    I can't get the device icon to show up on the left bar. Even after I plug in SanDisk Sansa. I removed and reloaded the whole program. I went through the process of removing the library files to desktop and then reopening and bringing files back in. Nothing works. If I can't fix this is there another way to get the podcasts from computer to Sansa?

    It could be due to interference on the network. Check istumbler.net to verify

  • Home Hub 5 "Home Network - Devices" icons

    Hi all,
    I've been looking at the Home Network - Devices screen from the HH5 and wondered about the icons that it chooses. If you have a look at my network below, my SkyHD box seems to be identified as a games thingy and while my other half's iPhone 5 identifies as a smartphone, my iPhone 4S seems to identify as a tablet. I'm guessing that it doesn't make any difference at all, but I'm interested in how the HH5 is selecting the device icons.
    Cheers,
    Bill

    How do you even get these icons! I'm still stuck with laptop icons. Anyone know?
    Anyway, I think the way it chooses is through how it access the internet and what data it retrives. (e.g retrieving game data)
    Maybe BT just keeps a database of which is which. But they may of made a mistake. Thats what I think.

  • 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.

  • 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
    Harvey

  • Why is my iTunes icon gone from my phone?

    Why is my Itunes icon gone from my phone. I don't have it anymore.

    Check: Settings - General - Restrictions - iTunes = ???

  • After upgrading to the latest itunes, the text associated with syncing a device is gone.  The buttons are there but no text.  Also the toolbar for iTunes has disappeared.

    After upgrading to the latest editon iTunes, the text associated with syncing any device is gone.  The buttons are there but no text.  Also the toolbar for iTunes has disappeared.

    That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.
    If you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista, try Vortical's technique from the following post:
