Hello,
I have a problem with my Hardy. This was a fresh install, not an upgrade from 7.10.
Sometimes the "Storage Media" folder correctly shows the mounted and unmounted devices, and I can double click to open/mount them.
Sometimes instead, the "Storage Media" folder only shows some of the devices, and with "generic" names (like "Hard Disk", "DVD", or so instead of the label names). And if I double-click on any of the unmounted devices, I get the "Feature only available with HAL" error.
Mounting from the CLI works.
A reboot usually fixes the problem, but rebooting like this in Linux is ridiculous.
The hald daemon is running.
This doesn't happen always, but more or less 50% of the times; but once it happens, a reboot is needed to fix it.
Any idea? I've seen other threads in the forum with the same problem, but all those users had upgraded their Gutsy to Hardy, and as a solution they suggested to reinstall a clean Hardy. Being that this is already a clean hardy, I don't want to just reinstall - I had too many "reinstall to fix the problem" issues in my Windows years...
Thanks
Cristian
