Sorry, I can not help myself. In KDE3 I can plug and play, any file format external HD, In KDE4 I can only do this if I reboot the system with the external HDs turned on before the reboot. :lipsrsealed:
I don't have that problem - I just checked. Plugged in my USB HD, 3 partitions (ext3, ext3, ntfs) all showing in Dolphin and they mount automatically. Removes just as easily.
Okay if you say it works, then I will try it again, it has not happened since the start of testing M11 and I have reported it several times with no replies.
Have the M11 HD, fresh install from the ISO, up and running. Plug the EXT3 external HD in, turn it on, there is the hi I am here blink and nothing.
Hummm, hang on I will get the one MacBook Pro that I have M11 dual booted on. I have been working other issues on it and have not tried to mount a external HD to it.
M11 is up and running, plugging in the external HD, turning it on, there is hi I am here blink and buda bing there it is. Mount it, there it shows up in dolphin.
Oh, can not unmount it from dolphin no right click from the Apple trac pad, there can do it from the task bar. There it does work on the Apple, wonder why it will
not work on the main machine. Wait a minute, let me try this, there that did it. I just hot, hot plugged(powered up) the external drive and it came up. Strange,
the Apple came up using the on/off switch and the main machine did not. To get the external to come up, I would have to power up the external, then reboot.
Well it is working now in a funny way on the main machine. Maybe because the main machine's M11 is 64bit and the Apple is 32bit. I stand corrected. :bagoverhead:
Thanks for the response.

OK - so how do I vote on this (I'm a NO)?

It must be easy since there are 170 votes and only 102 posts!

Yeah -- and, again, it really was about KDE4 in Mepis 8.5. Maybe a new thread and poll would be good, but I think most people here are probably happy with KDE4, or else they wouldn't still be using Mepis.

Not sure that I agree with that conclusion since it's the only option in Mepis and the desktop is not the only reason for upgrading.

Anyway, I stuck with 8 to avoid KDE4 (cashews, widgets et al) in 8.5 but am now looking at Mepis 11 which is the subject of a new thread not long ago...!

I am not sure what conclusion you are referring to. The creator of the poll decides what it is about and how long it will run.

Probably my conclusion that most people here like KDE4, etc.

For most of us, KDE4 has been an acquired taste. But I believe that in nearly all cases, us KDE3.5 diehards have come around, and today are happy with the DTE. And those that aren't, well... they've at least quit beating the horse. It died a long time ago.
