Hello,

I have a problem with (auto)mounting local disks/partitions in Dolphin, simply - I can't see them in "Places" panel. I can see removable drives there. If I manually mount local partition I can't see it either in Places.
What may be the cause of this? How can I diagnose the problem?

The only thing I checked are the permissions.

I'm using Dolphin 1.7, KDE ver 4.7.1 on Kubuntu (installed on top of Ubuntu).

Thanks,
Lukasz.

Places are like bookmarks, other than the defaults, they must be added to be seen

http://userbase.kde.org/Dolphin/File_Management#Places

I can't create a link to my local drive/partition to have them in Places - they do not exits.

Is it possible that Gnome's VFS "intercepts" drives?

Here's a screenshot of things I see: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1706754/dolphin-no-disks.png

what if you, in Dolphin, right click in places and check "show all entries"? note: for me this shows but then disappears once any one is clicked

are these internally attached drives? if so are they mounted in /etc/fstab and if mounted why not create a places entry using the mount point? if not mounted and internally attached why not mount them in /etc/fstab?

There are no hidden entries, there's no such menu entry.

They are not mounted "internally" (no entry in fstab), why? I thought the proper way is to let KDE (or any other subsystem) to manage disks mounts/unmounts. Another thing - it works somewhere else, and doesn't work for me = something's wrong and I should correct it.

I guess I'll end up adding an entry in fstab file. Anyway thanks for help .

Maybe this has to do with removeable (usb) vrs non-removable (ide, sata) media and how it's handled by places. Usb devices are mounted in /media, not sure where non-removable is.

the "in Dolphin, right click in places and check "show all entries""

As far as I know non-removable also go to media.

Here's my Places:
