After re-emerging hal udev dbus pmount I still had no notification pop-up. |
| 5 |
Looking harder at this problem, I have identified 2 issues and rectified them. |
| 6 |
1. The dvd drives were not acpi compatible, so I have changed them and now the |
| 7 |
tray stays closed. |
| 8 |
2. I have deleted .kde4 and reloaded kde, When I originally installed kde4 I |
| 9 |
copied the original .kde3 directory and renamed it .kde4 I now have kde |
| 10 |
running properly and if I insert a usb disc or insert a cd I now get the |
| 11 |
notification pop-up with the options. So far so good. However, alsaplayer and |
| 12 |
kscd are still not working. I also have problems playing dvds in kmplayer or |
| 13 |
xine, the picture keeps breaking up. |

I have now switch off the old pata drivers and have noticed that my hard disks |
| 31 |
are now sga sgb etc. I now use kernel 2.6.31 |

I have been running a amd64 system with a lot of packages that are marked |
| 34 |
~amd64. |
| 35 |
So I have decided to go to a full blow ~amd64 system in the hope that my |
| 36 |
remaining problems will be resolved. |

Thanks for your time, I'll let you know how things go after the 400 packages to |
| 39 |
be built. |
