16 From what I remember, K3B uses either D-Bus or, I believe, HAL to detect
17 drives. So if HAL (or D-Bus) is not working properly, K3B won't detect
18 the drive.

20 Also, I have a vague memory (warning! this may be totally wrong!) that
21 you may need the plugdev group as well, for the detection to work
22 properly? Maybe?

24 However, my K3B ("stable" on 2.0.1-r1) doesn't have a "hal" use flag,
25 but it appears the latest ("unstable" on 2.0.2-r1) does.
