Do you mean you can't see the actual device files (/dev/...) or you
can't play the media? If you can't see the files, check if they still
exist ('ls /dev/...' from the command line). If you can't play the
media, you'll need to say how you used to do it. Dolphin doesn't play
media itself, it uses Kaffeine (or VLC, or dragon, or mplayer, or ...)

Hi POC,

Neither Dolphin nor Krusader would list or show an icon of anything outside "Home" or "Root";  I found autofs had deinstalled during the upgrade so reinstalled that & my external HDD came back.  Rythmbox one time showed the tracklist, but wouldn't play anything, alsomixer wuld show lots of controls & freeze with nearly 100% CPU usage; Pulsaudio didn't seem to do anything, so (following the comments in the forum) I deleted PA, but couldn't take out some of the sub utilis of PA without yum wanting to deinstall everything as nmothing was used by anything else.....  So loaded amarok & music plays automatically but the icons in "places" for the CD/DVD drives are still missing.  The drives show up however in HWLister.  /dev shows entries for cdrom & cdrom1 & cdrw, dvd, dvd1 & dvdrw.
