Hello Alexander,
I started a similar thread a while ago. I had the problem that right
from system start, any plugging-in of usb-drive devices was nicely
recognized by kubuntu (dmesg showed presence of newly attached drives),
but the dialog just wouldn't show up.

This was my original post, it also shows the workaround which brought
back the dialog:

Hello all,
I have recently upgraded from 6.10 to 7.10. Everything went ok, with the
  exception of a few glitches. Most prominent fail is the absence of the
media dialog which appears when a new medium (cd, usb-drive,
sd-card,...) is attached to the system (The one where kubuntu asks what
to do with the content).
I can re-initiate the dialog if I just change a minor setting. For
example if I check "Enable medium application autostart after mount",
click apply, uncheck "Enable ..." and click ok.
This is in "Settings"->"Control Center"->"Peripherals"->"Storage
Media"->"Advanced"
Now, after plugging in an external disk, the dialog shows up as normal.
After a reboot the dialog does not show up again until I repeat the
above procedure.
Anybody know how to fix this?

For some magical reason, this media-dialog problem disappeared. Due to
low priority, I've never investigated the problem. So unfortunately, I
can only provide you with the workaround above.

I'm using kubuntu 7.10 with the latest upgrades. uname -a: Linux miami
2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

regards, Mike
