A while ago, I and others posted about our hd icons not appearing on the desktop. There seems to be a resolution to the problem. Here's the link to the bug site:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127971
In the last comment, Lubos Lunak of the kde org indicates that the problem was with mediamanager kded module not being loaded. Based on his comment I opened the mediamanager.desktop file which I found on the path /usr/share/services/kded/mediamanager.desktop and at the bottom added this line:
Code:
X-KDE-Kded-phase=1
and after it, a carriage return. After restarting, my hd icons are on the desktop as before. It didn't seem to increase my boot time noticeably or create any other problems that I noticed. I don't know whether this will be resolved later in the repo, but adding that line fixed it for me.
Regards,
Ron |

Which programme do you use to edit mediamanager.desktop? I'm not given an option and can only open it with kate by forcing it. I then see lots of strange characters so I'm concerned I may corrupt the file if I then edit and save it.

nano works fine, kate works fine. The strange characters you see are utf 8 renditions of various alphabets out there.
When in doubt, simply create a copy of that file, name it whatever you want, then open the original, add the last line to it, plus the last linebreak. Must be edited as root.
In this case however, you don't even need to open the file, simply go to console, login as root, then run these two commands:
echo 'X-KDE-Kded-phase=1' >> /usr/share/services/kded/mediamanager.desktop
echo >> /usr/share/services/kded/mediamanager.desktop
and your file is fixed without opening it.
Since it's so simple, this fix is now implemented in my dist-upgrade script as one of the install tweak options.
Sometimes it pays to read bug reports, nice find feffer777. |

echo X-KDE-Kded-phase=1 >> /usr/share/services/kded/mediamanager.desktop
seems to work. echo adds a new line already, you don't need a 2nd one. only echo -n would not add a new line. |

Saw the fix this morning but thought I would wait a while see if any problems turned up. Just used the Kano script, all now works fine.
Thanks
