KDE-Forum.org

Hi

I'm a linux newbie and have been troubleshooting this issue on the Kubuntu forums. It seems to be a KDE issue so now I'm bringing it here

I have an external NTFS usb hdd that I had running fine on my Kubuntu Edgy desktop for some time. Due to problems with the casing I had to change it. It's now in a new casing.

When I plug this into my desktop, I get the popup window asking me what I want to do, and I hit open in new window. nothing happens. The Drive no longer mounts, and neither do I get the link to it on my desktop like I used to.

Through troubleshooting this on the Kubuntu Forums, it will mount from console using the command:

pmount /dev/sda1

No problems, and I can access it fine.

But no go on getting the automount to do it. It detects the drive fine, and then just does nothing.

Any advice on how to sort this out would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply

I get this repsonse to the command:

block.device = '/dev/sda1' (string)
