Hello
I installed trinity on a PC running Ubuntu Lucid (I did not
do the original installation so I am not sure if something
went wrong)
However when I connect in kde3 an usb device with a linux
partion 2 things happen
- the kde daemon pops up twice instead of only once
- the device is mounted but the files belong to
another user of this PC. This is very annoying
because in order to copy I have to use sudo and then
later the chown chgrp command.
I looked up the fstab file in /etc but there I can't see the
source of the problem.

I used to have this happen sometimes awhile back on Debian Etch.

I had this happen late in 2007 on Ubuntu. Actually, it wouldn't mount
unless I was using sudo. I had to edit my fstab to point to my user's
UID (rw,sync,uid=XYZ), it didn't seem to work with the "users" option.
If you want to try this, you can get your UID by looking in
/etc/passwd (doesn't show your password, but shows the user name, UID,
and groups of every user). Then insert the drive, add "uid=XYZ"
(replacing XYZ with your UID) to it's fstab entry, then see if the KDE
dialog will mount it.
