Slackware64; KDE 3.5 and automount...

Hello guys

I'm writting this theart as a last resource for what is not a problem; but is anoying me and my ego..

i bougth 2 cheap dimms of 2 gb (rm25664AA800) for my desktop pc... and after installed i reformated my hdd and went the easy way to have slackware64 and kde 3.5 running (installed 12.2; removed all packages except qt and kde and then installed current 64)

now the "what do you wanna do" feature of kde is not working at all when i put a CD or a usb drive on the machine...
it is not a problem since i can mount it manually; but it's hurting my ego; besides, this machine is sometimes used by the wife (there goes the annoying part)

the hal deamon is installed and working

Code:

root@dragon:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.hald restart
Starting HAL daemon:  /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=yes
root@dragon:~#

thank you

have you added your username to plugdev and netdev?
have your merged all the .new conf files?

I wouldn't expect that to work. I also don't expect to participate in this thread much (if at all) after this post, so consider this fair warning...

You'll at least need dbus-qt3 installed, but quite (possibly|likely) there are other parts of the system that aren't present due to the change from kde3 to kde4.

yes; the user is on all the needed groups.

i'm not running kde4... I kept kde 3.5 (kde4 wasn't installed)
dbus-qt3-0.70-i486 is installed

I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say. You can't just "keep kde 3.5" from Slackware 12.2 and reasonably expect it to work on 13.0.

i managed to make it work by downgrading hal-info to 20081127
