By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Denis Prost 2010-11-06 01:53:23 CDT

if an usb stick is plugged in before the computer starts then, after KDE startup, storage media applet does not show it. One has to unplug it then replug to have it shown by storage media. It used to work with kde 3.5.10 on debian Lenny.

The icon does not appear at any time in Slackware 13.1. Seems related to bugs 385 and 634.

Basically, device icons do not appear on the desktop until there is a device change event. Then the device icons finally appear.

Oddly, the device icon placement is hard-coded to the second horizontal grid row, which is quite frustrating. That is, even after manually placing a device icon to the desired location, the next device change event moves all the device icons to the second horizontal grid row. Refer to bug report 392.

When the desktop first loads after login, is there a way to simulate a device change event? That would force device icons to appear in the user's desktop.

I confirm this bug still exists despite the improvements reported in other bug reports with removable devices. From the a konsole window the device is recognized (lsscsi) but doesn't appear on the desktop.

Fixed in GIT hash 43bb5b9.

Comment 7 Darrell 2012-03-28 11:38:48 CDT
