    KDE 4.3RC3...where'd the list of devices/drives go? (missing from Dolphin, etc)

    I was just trying to mount something in my KDE session, when I ran into the fact that Dolphin's sidebar is now just showing Home, Network, Root and Trash; previously the sidebar had shown all my mounted and unmounted volumes, ie. my partitions and USB drives and optical discs, and from this things could be mounted and unmounted, but now it's just those four links.

    The Open File dialog has similarly changed, in fact the only place I can actually seem to get the normal list of volumes is in Lancelot's "Computer" section, which has the "Removable" and "Fixed" categories and lists all the applicable there. Now sure, I do love Lancelot, but where's the functionality gone for every other application? I can't seem to figure out how to add it back. And yes, I know all about the Device Notifier plasmoid, I'd just like more than one way, especially since Plasma often hangs on me.

    (And the mp3 player I was plugging in doesn't seem to even show up in Lancelot, despite being mounted just fine earlier today, but I'm more willing to chalk that up to SanDisk firmware than anything else, heh).

    Do you have "places" in view->sidebar activated?

      Indeed, it is entitled "Places" in English, and now only shows "Home", "Network", "Root" and "Trash".

        First issue is, is it a Dolphin display issue or did your mounted partitions really come unmounted?

        What says
        Code:
        mount
        in the Konsole?

          Oh, no, sorry; I should have been less verbose and more to the point, heh. It's just a display issue, shared not only by Dolphin but also by other things such as the Open File dialogs and such (which maybe use a Dolphin part for their sidebar?) but definitely just with the sidebar. The partitions are quite mounted, and so yes, "mount" spews out all that it should (my devices, stuff like udev and tmpfs, my extra mounts for my chroot, etc).

          Wellll, okay, plugging a new device in and nothing happens, so maybe it's related in that way, but everything previously known to my PC is there in /media and in Lancelot's media list (although right now Lancelot is doing that thing where if I click on it all it does is hang plasma for half a minute and then give up, so I guess I can't confirm that at this *moment*, heh).
