Automounting removable media...

[gabrielle harrison and Paul van den Bergen]

Hi All,

last week it worked, now it hangs my machine! Gah!


(deep breath)

I went to rip a CD last night using AudioGrabber. Put in the CD, fired up  
audiograbber, connected USB SDcard based MP3 player. PC froze. Complete  
lockout requiring reboot

OK, put in CD. Did not auto mount. tried to mount, PC froze.
reboot
Connected MP3 player, PC froze
went to bed :-)

Last time I did this a few weeks back I had zero problems.

My machine - HP e-pc, 512 Mb ram, 60GB HDD,

History

-> kubuntu desktop
-> dapper kubuntu (with much cursing)
