media:/ and usb works with kubuntu i386 not on kubuntu amd64

[Marco Amadori]

Hi all,
I'm not subscribed so CC me plz:

Rather strange, I had a bug with usb disks and kubuntu prereleases on i386 
archs that  was fixed on recent apt updates.

But on a more recent kubuntu 5.10 (yesterday) for amd64 I saw the same bug, 
already fixed in i386 ubuntu over a week ago, maybe two.

The bug was when I connect a usb pen (tried severals) or an external IDE drive 
and konqueror shows up saying "media:/dev/sdc1 does not exists" but the right 
device is pmounted on /media/usbdisk and work like a charm. Only the kde part 
(media:/ and desktop icon that does not shows up) seems to be broken. Also 
dmesg are fines and like the i386 ones.

I know how to manually make it work via fstab, but I lose some multi-usb 
flexibility that pmount permits me on i386. I Really don't know why it should 
be related on amd64 if no there is no lag between the archs.

btw in debian sid (not particulary related) both in i386 and amd64 media:/ 
work with usb..

In the same kubuntu 5.10 pre amd64 that I'm talking about, media:/ works for 
both floppy and cdroms/dvds, at last it seems only to be a usb related bug.
