[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.

Is the "0 B Removeable Media" entry always there?
Is the entry there if you create a new user and then start KDE as the new user?
Does the entry provide any more details if you right-click it or something? (I don't use KDE)
How many drives are in your computer?
How your your drives partitioned?
The entry is always there. Persistent through every reboot since I noticed it.
The entry is in the Device Manager with a new user.
No other information is forthcoming with either a right, or left click. Left click simple gives me the standard options for "what to do with this", and right click gives me the option of changing the Device Notifier settings.
There are seven drives in my computer. One HDD, one DVD drive, and one multi-card reader w/ five individual slots. Each of these drives are behaving properly in the Device Manager.
The only drive that is partitioned is my HDD. Partition list incoming...

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:

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

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 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?

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!

I figured that maybe Arch just required more configuration than those "other leading brands" of Linux. Of course, I'm just not sure what extra configuration I'm missing <sigh>
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 detects two cameras

I have a DSLR camera which I connect through usb to my computer. The device notifier pops up but it displays two cameras along with their actions.
$ solid-hardware listen
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QString)
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QString)
Listening to add/remove events:
Device Added:
udi = '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb8/8-1'
Device Added:
udi = '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb8/8-1/8-1:1.0'
If I click on one of the two cameras and try to download photos with digikam I get this message
The specified camera ("/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb8/8-1/8-1:1.0") is not supported.
If I click the other camera digikam starts correctly.
These are the groups my user belongs to
$ groups

A while ago it worked correctly. Any ideas how to solve this?

Whell, as I said in my message, whith --monitor command I have no response. I plugged in and out several times and 2 o 3 pendrives.
Yes, I have dbus in my DAEMONS array in rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng dbus cpufreq @network netfs @crond @alsa @cupsd)
and seems it's working:
# /etc/rc.d/dbus start
:: Starting D-BUS system messagebus [BUSY]
Failed to start message bus: The pid file "/run/dbus/pid" exists, if the message bus is not running, remove this file [FAIL]
[root@linux manc0ntr0]# /etc/rc.d/dbus restart
:: Stopping D-BUS system messagebus [DONE]
:: Starting D-BUS system messagebus [DONE
My KDE starts trough /etc/inittab as is explained in wiki:
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
As mann138 said, my system recognizes all pendrives but Device Notification doesn't.
I can mount them and automount rule works perfect, but no notifications.
Thanks

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=

[SOLVED] KDE 4.5: Device Notifier does not show CDs anymore

During one of the last updates KDE's Device Notifier lost the ability to display CDs I put into my CD drives. USB sticks do show up correctly. DBUS and HAL are running, the device Manager is configured to show up all removable medias. I can manually mount the CDs by using the mount command. Also if I connect the drive to my virtualbox XP installation they autoplay correctly. So this is no hardware failure.
I just want to put a CD in and the device manager should pop up and inform me of the actions that are possible. KDE 4.4 did this, KDE 4.5 does not. I am using the testing repo and my system is up-to-date.
Any advice?
Harvey

[SOLVED] Device Notifier doesn't work in KDE 4.8.4

Hi.
I searched for this problem but can't find any solution that works for me.
Have been using Arch since years, but never had this problem.
I did a fresh install few days ago. I installed KDE, but only minimal packages to work. Everything seems work ok but Device Notifier doesn't work in any way. It doesn't detects USB nor CD/DVD, but system does and I can mount USB pendrive manually, for example, using pmount.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards.

What should be the problem?

There could be a few reasons, a common one is bad DVDs or a burner going bad.

Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

I can't upload photos from Aperture or IPhoto to an outside website. The Media tab under devices is not even there. How do I upload my photos?

When I try to upload multiple photos to a few online printing websites, the Media tab under devices isn't there. Also, the aperture and iphoto are under photos in the sidebar but I can't access any sub-folders or photos at all. Please help!!

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
