KDE 4.1.86 is just a fail

[Strahlex]

Pulse audio is already deactivated.
Is saw that some packages are still 4.1.85 (kopete, krdc, krfb and all language files), could that be the problem?

Check in Yast software management
filter by repo
look in the kde4.2 beta repo's - see if any packages are Red or Blue
If so update

[Strahlex]

All packages are the latest version, nothing is black or red...

Did you ever try creating a new user account?

That is my thread...I finally got it all working except for a nagging grey garbled screen on boot after the NVIDIA and before booting in to KDE. Other than that, I am impressed with 4.2 beta2.

Good for you.

FYI. I get all that garbled screen. Never had it in 11.0
Not related to kde I think.

What about your USB problem:
It's all about PolicyKit.
I guess you're logged to your system as a normal user, not as root.
So, under root edit /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.hal.storage.policy and replace "no" on "yes" in the structure:

  <action id="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
    <description>Mount file systems from removable drives.</description>
    <message>System policy prevents mounting removable media</message>
    <defaults>
      <allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>
      <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
    </defaults>
  </action>

Save this file.
And you'll get an ability to mount removable media by any user, not only root.
