http://forums.opensuse.org – Hi! Every time when I mount a usb device (e.g. mp3 player), first I have to click on the device notifier icon in the bottom right corner and choose "Open with File Manager" in order for it to get mounted. Where can I change this? I would like the device to be immediately mounted in /media/whatever when I attach it without having to open the file manager (Dolphin). Where can I set it up? The only settings I found regarding this are in KDE menu / configure desktop / advanced / removable devices ==> there I checked the (previously unchecked) option "Enable automatic mounting o (Distributions)

Stories similar to Mounting removable device without having to open it in Dolphin?

I use KDE and whenever I mount anything, such as a usb stick or cd, with a gtk program through it's file chooser, I am unable to unmount it through the normal KDE ways. I can open a terminal and successfully umount it, but trying to do it with dolphin or the Device Notifier widget results in the following:

Code: Could not unmount the device.

Amazing piece of work you got here jnguyen. Was annoyed that thunar/exo/whatever it was that made thunar rely on gfvs for mounting devices but not only didn't I have the time to find a proper replacement/fix at the moment, when I actually did search for one, I overlooked this great contribution of yours.

ipod shows up twice in dolphin 3 years 23 weeks ago

Hi everyone. I've got an ipod which I haven't used with my opensuse computer for a while, but recently tried to get it connected again. When I plug in the ipod, two devices show in Dolphin's "places" or in the KDE device notifier (in the plasma panel). One has the "name" I typed in when I set up the ipod with itunes, the other is labeled "iPod".

How to locate the device name ? 3 years 26 weeks ago

Got an external harddisk and when inserting it into my desktop running openSUSE 11.2, dolphin will recognise it as /media/testing.

Wanted to rename the device label from "testing" to "Backup". Googled and understand the way to do it is to issue this command

When reformatting a USB drive with gparted, my volume manager attempts to mount the device. This results in some error messages telling me the device could not be mounted. The only way I know to turn these messages off, is to temporarily disable the auto-mount options in "Removable drives and media" settings for XFce4. Changing these settings constantly gets to be troublesome.
