Description:
When inserting an audio CD into my optical drive, KDE does not recognise any new event and the "Device Notifier" applet does not popup with a message. Amarok does not show an audio CD and cannot be used to play the CD. However, "mplayer cdda://" works fine to play the CD, and typing "audiocd:" into the location bar in Dolphin allows me to browse the contents of the CD. Additional info: KDE 4.5.0 Kernel 2.6.35.3-1 dbus 1.2.24-1 udev 161-1 hal 1.5.14-4 kdemultimedia-kioslave 4.5.0-1 amarok 2.3.1-1 Steps to reproduce: 1. Insert Audio CD 2. Nothing happens |

VLC may well work fine. So does mplayer and SMPlayer. But amarok does not when it should :( and presumably this is due to KDE being unable to recognise when an audio CD has been inserted.

If the polling is turned off, it can be turned on by running "hal-disable-polling --enable-polling --device /dev/cdrom". However, ConsoleKit will just turn it off again the next time you start a new KDE session or resume from suspend-to-disk, and I don't know how to make ConsoleKit stop doing that. (I just stopped using ConsoleKit, by using "exec startkde" as my .xinitrc contents.)
Yes the popup is working, but i'd have to enable polling with hal-disable-polling --enable-polling --device /dev/cdrom (see amunkres post)
I'm also sure it's not hardware-related, since I have ubuntu 10.10 beta installed on the same hardware. It doesn't use HAL, and perfectly mounts all my CD's/DVD's. Which leads me to conclude that this is (yet another) HAL-related issue, maybe combined with KDE 4.5.0 / 4.5.1 (using the latter).
