Now, when I insert stick into USB it appears in the device notifier. And only operation allow to me is to open the disk in Dolphin. As for me, I don't like using Dolphin or Konqueror: I prefer Midnight Commander. Stick is mounted only after opening it through Dolphin. After, I am to close Dolphin and go to MC.

I have not found any way to unmount or safely remove USE stick in KDE 4 under non-root user. That is why I have to use console command "sync" before USB stick removal. It is very uncomfortable for most users.


If you are using opensuse I'd recommend device manager from the kde community repo.
It's basically a slightly more featuresome version of the default device notifier.
Automount is enabled by deault with it.


This week's operating systems (subject to change)
LAPTOP : Crunchbang Waldorf AMD64 Openbox / openSUSE 13.1 x86_64 KDE 4.12.3 / Win7 64

It does not work correctly with cyrillic filenames on fat32 file system - only question signes are seen. The regular device notifier mounts the fat file system correctly.
