Isn’t this desktop dependent? In any case for almost any questions/problems it might help others to help you. when you at the least tell what level of openSUSE you have and which desktop you use.

Describing the “problems configuring the Device Notifier” might also help letting others understand what you are trying to do and why. Keeping the maximum of information secret does in general not help others to understand you.

If you right click on the icon, you can select “Device Notifier Settings”. Have you tried that and if so, what setting are you trying to change that does not exist in Notifier settings?

Thank You,

Yes; By the way it’s kde4 and 11.4. The right menu Device Notifier settings I can use but it’s not acknowledged (it have no use).

Usually, in kde, the config are in ~/.kde4/share/config, but I don’t find any relevant thing.

I try to change the menu displaying when one insert an audio cd. Sometime it worked (after reboot), but most of the time it don’t

for example, trying to add VLC as audio cd reader

give a name

vlc cdda:// %25d

notice %25d is what is displayed in the config dialog, but seems wrong, as the real command line is “vlc cdda:// /dev/cdrom”. %25 mean probably space.

well… tried again, but with no result. Notice there is in the orginal config an entry "Play audio cd with Kscd that do not either show in the applet. The above config is what is used by amarok and kaffeine (that shows)

If you’re still looking for a solution to this, I found one that worked for me here. I had to edit the kscd-play-audiocd.desktop file directly as described in that post to get it to show up when I inserted an audiocd in the drive. I found two places where the .desktop files for device notifier actions are stored: /usr/share/kde4/apps/solid/actions (for the system defaults) and ~/.kde4/share/apps/solid/actions (for user-created entries).
