Lately, whenever I put in media into my cd/dvd drives and I try to read what's on them in Konquerer, it shows nothing.
When I try to read the media using Nautilus, that works.
I was wondering what would make Konquerer suddenly unable to read what's on cd's/dvd media?
The apps that I use to play the media (XMMS, Xine, etc) read the media just fine though.
This is my fstab entries just in case you need it:

Both Gnome and KDE kep mime lists of what application to use when you click on a file with a particular extension. For example in my Gnome when I click on a .txt file it is displayed with gedit. In KDE when I click on a .txt file it is displayed with kwrite.
I would look for this problem by checking check your KDE mime lists. You can work with your KDE mime lists by clicking on control center -> KDE components -> file associations. The file extensions you are interested will be in the media subsection.
@ linux-Hawk, I never thought of that. But if a wire were loose, why would it work fine only in Nautilus?
@ jailbait, I just checked it and everything looks fine. Konquerer is listed first for opening mounted/unmounted CD's/DVD's as is the floppy drive and for removable media.
