When I put a DVD/CD into the computer, the KDE Daemon appears with whatever options depending on the the media on the DVD/CD. However if I choose Do Nothing or close the dialog box without choosing an option, then the DVD/CD does not mount.

How can I get the DVD/CD to mount even if I don't choose an option in the KDE daemon. Or can I add an option to just mount the DVD/CD to the KDE Daemon with having konqueror or the media play?

KDE v3.5.4-6.1 and FC5

I had a similar problem with my Kanotix distro and I have solved by using this script (saved as automount_errorfix.sh) and launched once by KDE Konsole with: 'sh automount_errorfix.sh'
(If you're not root user, first type 'su' then 'root password')

automount_errorfix.sh script:

#!/bin/sh
grep -v cdrom /etc/fstab > /etc/fstab.new
# Add cdrom devices to /etc/fstab
for c in $(ls -d /dev/cdrom* 2>/dev/null); do
m=${c#/dev}
[ "$m" == "/cdrom" ] && m="/cdrom0"
[ -d /media$m ] || mkdir -p /media$m
printf "%-15s %-15s %-7s %-15s %-7s %s\n" "/dev/$(readlink $c)" "/media$m" "udf,iso9660" "user,noauto" "0" "0" >> /etc/fstab.new
done
mv -f /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old
mv /etc/fstab.new /etc/fstab

Remove the pmount program or make it unexecutable if you want to avoid "dynamic" mounting. You can always put your mountable devices in fstab and mount them with a click if you want (by creating shortcuts in the KDE desktop).

Thing is I'm pretty sure I was able to just choose Do Nothing or close the Daemon and the DVD/CD would still mount. I suspect this was caused by a KDEupdate.

dongle if I add that to ~/.kde/Autostart how can I get it to start with a sudo?

What I've done I've added an option in the KDE Daemon called Mount and which has no command. The only issue with that is that it comes up with an error message along the lines of a file was expected or something.

You don't need to insert the script in Autostart. Simply run it (sh automount_errorfix.sh) once with root rights. You'll obtain that each time a cd/dvd is inserted the drive will be automounted and a konqueror's window with cd/dvd content will be showed. You'll don't need to run the script again. That's all.
