As root both work as expected.

Hi Thierry,
thanks for answering the list of questions.
As root both work as expected.
Do you mean
that as root you don't have the problem at all?
Re 5), when it fails, you can go in Konqueror, search the Storage Media in available known drives. Then double click on your
failed disk and see if it
gets mounted again or not.
Alternatively, you can type "media:/sdg1"
(or whatever path) in the location
bar and press enter.
Now that you have d-feet installed, can you also make another test. After a
failed
mounting, open d-feet, search the
system bus for udisk2 and select it. On the right side
you will see many
interfaces. Search for object path
/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdg1 (or other
path), expand it and
please paste a screenshot.
Finally, one more thing. Open KDCOP, search for kded -> mediamanager ->
fullList function (going by memory here, may
be slightly different name). Double click to execute.
In the result section,
you will have a list of known disks. Can
you find your disk there? If so, can you paste a
screenshot of the
properties of that disk?
Last (but not least), is this a real system or is it running inside
VirtualBox (or
other VM)? (not a stupid question,
trust me).
Cheers
Michele
Do you happen to have trinity-tdeio-umountwrapper installed?
It cause weeks worth of problems for me until I figured it out.
If you do have it installed, try uninstalling it.
Also look at your inode file associations.
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here but I thought I'd mention it.
Good luck, please let us know what you find.
