Hello,

On most of my kde workstations when I plug in a
usb(memory)stick and popup screen appears
"Devices recently plugged in:"

On one kde system, this does not occur and I
do not know what app/software to install or configure


lsusb shows the device properly, just like the other
system. None of the systems that work correctly use
coldplug, all have the dbus flag set in make.conf.

Any hints are most appreciated.

James

Diff your make.conf and package.use files. Somethong is probably missing.

On mine, I had to add the "device notifier" widget to the panel. That
is what does the little pop up here. Looks like one of your systems
didn't add that by default, mine didn't either tho.


Oh, the unmount/eject thingy don't work here. Do a sync command
somewhere after copying files over to make sure it didn't cache them
somewhere instead of writing them right then.

Well device notifier is on the systems that work. somehow it
got deleted off this system....

I missing the 'dolphin file manager' and the 'usb viewer'
from the kde-4.4.2

Hmmmm, somehow this looks strange....

What the best way to rebuild all of the kde packages
on a (kde-meta) system? emerge kde-meta only rebuild the
meta package itself....

Or should I just re_emerge a few selected packages?

(PS, try this command 'lshal') just for grins......

Well, I'm sure some guru has a better way to list all the KDE packages
installed but I use this:


qlist -I | grep kde

I then take that list and create a set and just emerge the set. It
worked a while back.


root@smoker / # lshal

Dumping 129 device(s) from the Global Device List:

I didn't know I had 129 devices in this rig. Sort of funny how much
"stuff" it takes to make a puter run nowadays.

Dolphin is back, it show up in the 'lost and found'
submenu in kde4.4.5 and it's icon is now a question
mark, so something is messed up. The kde4 usbviewer
app is missing...

How/what do I emerge to get this back?

Any suggestions are welcome, as googling
has been fruitless, up to this point.

Apparently, though unproven, at 03:49 on Sunday 24 October 2010, James did
opine thusly:

emerge -avuND world

If that doesn't pull in the missing bits, you have USE flags and/or
package.mask getting in the way.

equery depends might help, but it's only accurate for stuff you already have.
For more complex things, I usually read the ebuild and see what *DEPEND says

You'll have to find what -meta package[1] pulls in dolphin and usb viewer
(grep ... *-meta/*ebuild) comes in handy here and then read those ebuilds to
find themerge conditions.

kde-meta is merely a meta package for other meta packages...

Last time device notifier stopped popping up was when I fed up with
hal and built xorg-server without it. This does not seem to be your
case but just for the record...

rebuild everything related to kde-base.

Device notifier is back, but you have to click
on the icon (on the panel bar) to get it to
'pop up' the app. On all the other system it does
this automatically. Device Notifier configured
the same on all system.....

I cannot find witch ebuild has (plasmoid?) device notifier in it.
part of knotify?....dunno....?

Maybe this is my problem? I've rebuild the entire kde/base collection.



Ideas?
