Automount partitions in kde 4.1.2

[marainos]

I installed Kubuntu 8.10 Beta 1 64 bit on a new sata HD creating partitions manually.
After the reboot and after upgrading to kde 4.1.2 in Dolphin i see all the partitions previously created but when i click on one of them nothing happens..

In the new HD i created 2 partitions in ext3 but i didn't assigned them to any particular location (/opt, /usr/local.. ), just raw partitions in ext3.

I have a second sata HD with ntfs partitions and when i click on them nothing happens..

/etc/fstab looks ok with filesystem partitions mounted correctly (/, /home..)

In previous releases this seemed to work without problems..

Thank you.

Same here:
Some time ago I upgraded to KUbuntu Hardy Heron and was around back then when the system lost its wonderful automounting capabilities. Now in Intrepid Ibex, they are still not back to normal.
I can blurrily remember that the automounting of all partitions and disks on the computer was a default setting un 2006 Ubuntu distributions, and that in KDe it came along a multipackage one had to install apart which was called something like kdedesktop-utilities. But only blurrily.
More attention should be paid to the automounting of partitions and drives, wheter IDE/SCASI/USB/whatever, in order to make the distribution really accessible to the end user. It gets quite deceiving when a user can access his/her files on a given previous system, and then has to fight the terminal war after installing Ubuntu in order to set fstab up and be able to watch last summer's photographs or whatever.
