Hi Everybody,

I'm guessing if this is the right section to post for problems with lancelot (I apologize in advance), anyhow my problem is the fallowing: in lancelot, under Computer, you can find HD partitions. Among them there are two windows NTFS partitions that I don't need to access, in fact they are not in /etc/fstab. When the mouse is hovering these partitions lancelot gets stuck probably because it's trying to mount them. If I try to mount this partitions from Dolphin I get an error:
An error occurred while accessing volume (ntfs), the system responded:
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied:
Refusing to mount device /dev/sda1 for uid=1001

I would like that Lancelot doesn't show this partitions at all because I'm not interested in them. In the end, I'm curious to know how lancelot can see them, given that they are not in fstab. Thanks in advance

should probably post in this thread lancelot-brainstor ... 15049.html as it was started by the developer, though I'm guessing he will se this and respond

I know that thread, but now it is more than 10 pages, I'm guessing if it is the right place and my message is going be examined.

Going back to the topic, can you or somebody else confirm this bug in lancelot?

Hi,

First of all, forum is not a place for bug reports, http://bugs.kde.org is.

Which version of L are you using, which version of KDE, which version of Qt?

Thank you Ivan,

I don't know if this is a bug or misconfiguration problem, this is why I'm discussing it here. If it is a bug, I'm going to post on bugs.kde.org as well.
Regarding the information you asked:
Debian Sid/unstable (daily apt-get dist-upgrade)
Qt: 4.5.0
KDE: 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2)
Lancelot: 1.5

If you need something else, just ask me. Thank you again

What about when you're mounting it from Dolphin? How it behaves in that case?

(btw, L uses Solid for device handling, so it is mostly about what Solid sees and does - this was regarding 'it is not in /etc/fstab')

p.s. I don't mind you reporting problems here instead on BKO. The disadvantage of the forum is I could miss the thread, while BKO sends me an e-mail when a new L bug is created.

Thank you Ivan,

We can always move to BKO when you feel is needed.
Dolphin says:
An error occurred while accessing volume(ntfs), the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied: Refusing to mount device /dev/sda1 for uid=1001

P.S.: thanks for the explanation about Solid

Thanks for the info, you've now got the reason behind failing to mount. I'll check why it locks L.

Hi Ivan, I'm guessing if I'm missing a package that lets plasma/lancelot to spawn a message when trying to mount "forbidden" device. Something similar happens with Device Notifier (another plasmoid) on the reverse: it should show a message when someone tries to umount a busy device, instead it gets locked. For device notifier there is an already open bug on BTS:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=187242

I don't think it's about any package, it just isn't implemented. Maybe even kdelibs are to blame...
