Wine is not being "told" of mounted DVD volumes under KDE4. The following scenario works as expected under GNOME 2.32 in Mageia pre-1.0, and under LXDE in current Cauldron, but not under KDE: 1) Install Wine 2) Install DVDFab from http://www.DVDFab.com 3) Load a DVD 4) Get the desktop notification that a removable volume has been mounted 5) Cancel any "what should I do?" query 6) Start DVDFab from its desktop icon, passing through any initial panels or popups until you have the main screen with "Source:" and "Target:" fields at the top. Under old GNOME and current LXDE, DVDFab will immediately put up a progress bar that says it is scanning the source DVD. Under KDE, noting happens, and the "Source:" field simply says "Please load a DVD". I would have liked to report on GNOME 3 and GNOME3 Classic, but each of them currently segfaults before the desktop appears. There's probably a simpler reproducible case, such as running the wine command line and looking for a drive letter for the DVD.
Sure enough, if you load the disk and open the wine command line, under LXDE you will find an e: drive for the DVD, but trying e:, f:, etc., gives "path not found" under KDE. Whatever mechanism Wine uses to detect these devices under KDE is broken.
@ Frank Sorry for responding so very late, but we are very short on triagers. Is the problem still there in current cauldron?

Yes, unfortunately so.
@ John Sorry, I can't think of any smart questions to ask to find out whether or not this is really a KDE issue. Do you mind helping?

@ Frank Maybe I overlooked something, so it would be good if you'd check, but I didn't find a kde - wine bug about seeing DVD's here: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?field0-0-0=product&field0-0-1=component&field0-0-2=short_desc&field0-0-3=status_whiteboard&query_format=advanced&remaction=&type0-0-0=substring&type0-0-1=substring&type0-0-2=substring&type0-0-3=substring&value0-0-0=wine&value0-0-1=wine&value0-0-2=wine&value0-0-3=wine&order=bugs.bug_id%20desc&query_based_on= (I went to http://bugs.kde.org/ and searched for "ALL wine") BTW, is the problem still there if, in step 5 from the steps you described when you reported this bug, you choose to open the DVD with the file manager, just leave it like that and then start DVDFab?
Whoa ! I went to try your test, and some update in the last three weeks has fixed the problem, in both tests - DVDFab and the Wine command line. Happy man. Closing as FIXED. Thanks for the time spent.

Unfortunately, this has not been fixed. But the reason I thought it was may offer more information... I have been switching between LXDE (where this test case works) to use DVDFab, and KDE to do everything else. It turns out that wine under KDE will "see" the mounted DVD providing that the automount was done under LXDE, but *not* if the automount was done under KDE. In the case that made me think it was fixed, I still had the DVD in the drive from use with DVDFab under LXDE, and it had been mounted there. I switched back to KDE, saw your last post on this bug in my mail, and opened wineconsole to see if it could "see" the DVD on the E: drive, and it could. However, when I ejected and reloaded the disk under KDE, wine could not see it. So this is clearly a bug in the interaction between KDE's device recognition and the wine server. Starting wineconsole from the command line (via "wineconsole cmd") gives exactly the same stdout/stderr in both the working and failing cases, giving more support to the ides that this is a background issue occurring during the automount.

Nothing happened to the upstream bug report, yet, but so much changed in cauldron (including KDE): is this bug still valid?

Still valid, unfortunately. I've commented the upstream bug asking for an opinion as to whether they see this as a KDE bug or a Wine bug.
I think this is caused by https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4361 Closing as DUPLICATE. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 4361 ***
