Description Frank Griffin 2012-12-13 15:28:30 CET

In current cauldron, KDE itself is able to detect an inserted DVD (populated or blank), but in spite of Removable Media settings that say automount everything, it does not.

This has been happening for quite awhile, and is known (and ignored) upstream, but it has suddenly gotten worse.  It used to be that by going to the device notifications and choosing an action for the DVD that required KDE to mount it, e. g. Open with File Manager, you could force the mount, and then other non-KDE apps like wine or brasero could use it.  That is no longer the case.  The DVD gets mounted under /run/media/(userid), but no app can see it.

Maybe this has something to do with the change of mounting under /media to the current setup.

If instead of KDE you log into GNOME Classic, the apps work just fine, so this is not the kernel and it's not any DE-agnostic device handling.

To reproduce, insert a blank DVD, wait until KDE recognizes it, open Dolphin, right-click on an ISO file and choose Open With Brasero.  Brasero will not detect the available blank DVD.  You can eject and reload it, and Brasero still won't detect it.  I've only tried the populated case with a wine DVD app (DVDFab), but it should be reproducible by running wineconsole and finding that the inserted DVD is not available at any drive letter.

I have the same problem,  The CD or DVD is inserted, seen by KDE in the systray but I seems to have no mounting point...
The problem is true also with a USB memory key.
I have no file or directory in /run/media/

See also https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8533
See other bugs with the keyword "mount" or core media, it is a big problem!

Comment 6 Frank Griffin 2012-12-28 19:21:46 CET

I'm no dbus expert, so I'm not sure what effect this had, or whether the wind's just blowing the right way, but I applied the workaraound mentioned in the upstream link from bug#8393 (copying all of the <limit> tags from /etc/dus-1/session.conf to system.conf) and without a reboot and without restarting KDE suddenly automount works for both burned and blank disks.

Comment 7 Barry Jackson 2012-12-28 21:07:48 CET

(In reply to comment #6)
Following on from your experiment I read the comment at the top of system.conf :

<!-- This configuration file controls the systemwide message bus.
     Add a system-local.conf and edit that rather than changing this 
     file directly. -->

So I created /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf and copied the limits there.

It failed. 

However, moving the new file into /etc/dbus-1/system.d works OK.

Comment 8 Frank Griffin 2012-12-29 19:45:39 CET

Interesting.  I actually misread that and put them in a "system.local.conf" rather than system-local.conf.  So I guess mine was just working by accident.  

What, if anything, did you need to do to get dbus to notice the change ?

Comment 9 André DESMOTTES 2012-12-31 15:05:51 CET

hello,
I had the same problem, I followed the comment #6, without improvement, then comment #7 and it works.
KDE 64 bits on a laptop Dell Latitude D630.
