Comments on: A Good Sign … http://news.opensuse.org/2008/12/16/a-good-sign/ The latest stuff happening in the openSUSE universe Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:32:11 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: R.S.

Tse Fri, 02 Jan 2009 17:31:47 +0000 http://news.opensuse.org/?p=1121#comment-6563 I tried SuSE 11.1 and decided to revert to SuSE 11.0. Then I discovered a very important facility lacking even in version 11.0: a data DVD cannot be read! That is not easily. /etc/fstab does not list the DVD drive, there is no(I cannot find it) hal-mtab. I cannot "su" and mount a data DVD; the problem is what to mount. It seems that KDE imposes too much of its AI and decides that any DVD is only to be played by a media software and does not allow either Konqueror or Dolphin to read it. Fortunately I had SuSE 11.0 and 10.3 on two partitions and /home in a third partition. I am regularly using 10.3 in which everything I need works. Regards, R.S.

Thanks for reporting the bug, here have a free DVD seems like a nice reward for taking the time to submit a bug I guess.
