Hi,
I'm using KDE 4.11 (4.11.2, if I remember correctly) build from Fedora-KDE-SIG (thanks) for RHEL6. After a fresh installation, I am finding that optical disks are not recognised by KDE.
When I insert a CD/DVD, it is not listed by Device Notifier (USB disks work fine) and also not in 'Places' panel of Dolphin. There is no direct way of accessing the disk from KDE. I can manually mount the disk from a terminal without issues.
I tried the same in GNOME and it detects the disk automatically.
Any ideas on where the issue might be?
That should be handled by hal on rhel6, does
/etc/kde/env/SOLID_HAL_LEGACY.sh exist on your box?
Does this do the same for you? $ echo $SOLID_HAL_LEGACY 1
Is the hal service running? $ service haldaemon status hald (pid XXX) is running...

Storage devices also need the hal-storage-daemon running.

Yes
I tried it in a VM too and have the same problem. Actually, I have two VMs. The first one was a vanilla installation of RHEL6 (x86) which was used to build packages and install packages from EPEL & KDE repos. I then collected these RPMs from yum's cache and created a customized DVD image. Then I used this custom image for installing on a second VM (as well as a physical machine).
In the first VM, KDE has no problem detecting CDs. But in the second VM as well as the physical machine, CDs are not detected.
Thanks,
