Comment 15 for bug 102097

Thanks Robotgenius

I actually used the tip above of calling "pmount-hal /dev/sdb" and that worked ok but as you say it isn't pretty. I'm really trying to get a bunch of my mates to migrate over to ubuntu and this sort of stuff will put them off straight away, if it doesn't work first time it doesn't work at all in their minds. So if we are going to address the number one bug on this tracker (Microsoft's dominance) things like this can not happen.

Have we worked out if this is a KDE bug or something at a lower level?

Cheers
