Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kde-guidance
This bug is similar to "109273 kde systemsettings module "Disk &
Filesystems" does not load" in that I get the same error. There are a
few differences, though:
On this computer, I am running Kubuntu Feisty 7.04 with a 2.6.20-16
kernel. This computer has 1 internal HDD (160GB), 2 optical drives, an
AMD 64 Athlon processor, and an nVidia 6200GT OC video card. When I
open "Disk & Filesystems" under System Settings on the KMenu, everything
displays properly - including the 3 partitions (FAT 32 for Windows
restore, NTFS for Windows, and ext3 for Kubuntu) and the Swap. I can
add DVD's, CD's, my FAT32 thumbdrive, or my External NTFS 160GB HDD with
no problems. Everything will pop up and ask what I want to do with it,
and if I go to Disk & Filesystems I can make changes to the disks --
like changing the mount point, etc.
The BANE of my Linux existence, however, is my 80GB video iPod. When I
plug this in, everything pops up like normal, and I get a fancy little
icon on the desktop. BUT, if I want to change the mount point using
Disk & Filesystems, I get the "Module does not load" error, telling me
that something went wrong during an upgrade without giving me any
warnings or anything.
This happens EVERY time I plug in my ipod, and it has taken me a couple
of weeks and 3 re-installs of Kubuntu to figure out why this is
happening.
So, to recap:
1. Plug in iPod
2. Open new window or Do nothing - both work and both add the iPod icon to the
desktop.
3. Attempt to access "Disk & Filesystem" via "System Settings" on the K Menu
4. Receive error messages saying that there are no messages, but still
attempting to guess at what you did wrong.
5. click "administrator mode" and notice that nothing changes.
5. pull out what little hair is left
6. right-click iPod icon on desktop, then click safely remove
7. re-access disk & filesystems with now problems.
I can live without this functionality, of course. Thanks for looking
into this!
