No Items - No Files - No Folders

I am having trouble with Konqueror file manager 3.4.1.

I click on Storage media and get 'No Items - No Files - No Folders". I get a lot of disk activity for several minutes and then the desktop.

I recently renamed the media:/ partitions to something more understandable like, "Media /home"; otherwise I am clueless.

Where are the media:/ references stored?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Bob

RE: No Items - No Files - No Folders

I think the entries comes from /etc/fstab. If you hold your cursor over an entry, you can see a "Basic URL" entry. If you mount that disk and enter it, you will be redirected to that URL.

mart_k,

Thanks for your reply.

I didn't see anything out of the ordinary in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab.

I did some other looking and did find the following file:

/root/.kde3.4/share/config/mediamanagerrc

In it I found I found the labels I had given my partitions:

[Userlabels]
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_3182bb . . . . . . .=sda1 41M boot

I did not find such a file under my user login bob in which I can get to my disk files using "Storage Media".

I tried renaming mediamanagerrc but that didn't seem to help.

I hope this information might lead you to an "a ha".

I'm still trying things.

Thanks for your help.

Bob

RE: No Items - No Files - No Folders

The labels you renamed are saved in the file mediamanagerrc. After you changed it, you have to restart KDE (or some of it's processes) because the old settings are stored in the memory.

About the delay at startup of media:/: are there any errors in ~/.xsession-errors?

RE: No Items - No Files - No Folders

There are two error message in there: the undefined symbol of kdnssd and the libhal error message.

The first can be caused by mixed versions. Do you have the same version for every package of kde (in particular: kdelib, kdebase and kdenetwork)?

I don't know much about the error message of libhal. I also coundn't find a answer with Google. It can be that these error message cause the delay, you can check that with "tail -f ~/.xsession-errors", and after that trying media:/. Then, you can see which error message occures when: the error message that comes at the end, or in the middle can be the cause for the delay.

I also was suspecting mixed versions and have already started to do a re-install.

Thanks for your help.
