cannot read any DVD after upgrade

Upgrade my system openSuse 11.2 x86_64 to openSuse 11.4 x86_64 (KDE4)
now I cannot open any DVD or CD.
My computer is showing the DVD and the name.
Personal Settings -> Removable Devices -> Enable automatic mounting of removable devices is checked

/media shows nothing.

Upgrade my system openSuse 11.2 x86_64 to openSuse 11.4

Personally I would have done a fresh install. Or is this what you mean?

No I did an upgrade to openSUSE 11.4 with the install disk
udisks is version 1.0.2-3.4.1 x86_64 openSUSE 11.4 so I guess it should work.

Needles, Haystacks, come to mind

Sorry I do not now what you mean

Sorry
It’s a saying about trying to find a Needle in a Haystack (Like something is really difficult)

yeah I thought so but was not sure

Do you have room to do a parallel install to see how a fresh installation works? A spare partition or room to make one?

I see I am missing a few option in the system display panel like kmail and devices.
I found the solution its better to make a new user and then copy kmail to access my mail.

A new user is often a good first port of call.

The DVD upgrade has a problem: some packages will not be upgraded, if they
are not listed in the DVD. You have to seek them manually⁽¹⁾ or do a zypper
dup as well.

Code:

rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME};%{INSTALLTIME:day};
%{BUILDTIME:day}; %{NAME};%{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE};%{arch};
%{VENDOR};%{PACKAGER};%{DISTRIBUTION};%{DISTTAG}
"
| sort | cut --fields=“2-” --delimiter=;
| tee rpmlist.csv | less -S

or

rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME} %{INSTALLTIME:day}
%{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME} %15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE} %{arch}
%25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}
"
| sort | cut --fields=“2-” > rpmlist

It generates a list of packages (the first version is for importing in a
spreadsheet) with the interesting fields that allows you to learn if there
is a package from the wrong distro or architecture. Just examine it
completely, and if there is a wrong package, install the correct version
with YaST.
