ZoneO-tips for Mandriva Linux

I upgraded to Mandriva 2007 from Mandriva 2006 recently, and the Device icon on my desktop doesn't work! How do I fix it?

 
 

Yep, with the new release, the link used by this icon is broken and you get an error like

Protocol not supported: device

Quite a problem indeed... This device icon is used to access the various disks you plug into your system, including USB keys, USB disks, DVD's, CD's, and floppy disks!

Actually, the fix is easy:

• Right-click on your Device icon,
• Select Properties,
• In the Properties window, select the Application tab,
• Replace konqueror --profile devices device:/ by konqueror media:/,
• Click Ok,
• You're all set!

Next time you need to access your USB key or the last DVD you insterted, simply click on this device icon!
