Details

KDE used to pop up a Window asking what to do when a CD or DVD was inserted. After a pacman -Syu yesterday, it does not do that anymore. Basically, when I insert a cd into the cdrom drive, it starts spinning for a while and then nothing happens. This behavior is the same for any type of CD or DVD (data, music, movies, etc.). I am using HAL and DBUS. KDE works fine with recognizing and openning up a USB storage device. The problem seems to be related to CD Polling in KDE.
This task depends upon

I actually did a brand new install of Arch today. I still have the same problem. Could this have anything to do with permissions and group memberships for the user. Besides the group "users" the user is a member of audio,video,storage, and optical. Do I have to be a member of another group?

Thanks,
Raymano

could be easily checked by running kde as root user, if it workse there it's a permission thing

Tobias,

Thanks for your patience on this. But I tried it as root and still not working. The wierd thing is even after I mount the device manually the cdrom does not show up in Konqueror under system:/media

Here's the output from mount after I mount it manually:
/dev/sr0 on /mnt/cd type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,unhide)

Thanks,
Raymano

Does this problem still apply to hal 0.5.8.1? AFAIK this has been fixed. In previous releases SCSI drives were ignored, as they were named as sr0, sr1, scd0, scd1, etc. Older hal versions think that all device nodes that end in numbers are partitions and should be ignored as volumes. AFAIK 0.5.8 changed this.

Yes indeed, this bug seems to be fixed with 0.5.8.1.
