Description Frank Griffin 2012-08-29 13:09:38 CEST

Once again, wine apps are unable to detect optical volume mounts under KDE.

This was working fine previously, and appears to have broken pretty much exactly when the current wine 1.5.11-1 arrived on Aug 17.

The wine app (DVDFab) had been installed prior to 1.5.11, and was able to "see" DVDs fine before that, so I suspect the wine infrastructure.

I tried running under strace, but there is so much socket polling chatter it's impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff.

My guess would be a problem due to wine still using hal in some way KDE doesn't support, or possibly it's no longer using hal but the replacement just doesn't work under KDE.

Closing as INVALID.  Hal is indeed the problem, but not because wine uses it.  It just seems to interfere more and more with other hardware detection software.

I assumed hal was on my system because something required it, but it seems that's not the case.  It must just have been carried along in rpm lists from previous systems (whenever I do a fresh install, I try to bring the new system up to the state of the old system by installing anything that was on the old system).

I did a "urpme hal", and away it went without complaint.  This solved a recent problem with having KDE detect USB drives when plugged in, as well as this problem.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID
