I have to admit that I have had a terrible problem installing anything on this machine with an Asus M2N-X Plus mobo, having had to use extraordinary incantations of kernel options to get the install cd's to boot. Post install of xubuntu 12.04 and before I installed TDE I had problems booting because in with the harddrives I had One pata one, and the machine insisted on loading pata first which screwed up the drive order (sata should be loaded first). I fixed that in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, but had also removed some packages which I thought may have been responsible for the boot up problems, mainly pmount, gvfs-backends, and cryptsetup. Having got it to boot ok I then installed TDE 3.5.13.2 which has been working fine. Then I gor the usb harddrive and found the plugged media notifier problem. I actually found it again as inserted dvds didn't bring it up either, but I hadn't bothered about that as I could simply open the video dvd in kaffeine. To try and resolve the problem I reinstalled pmount and gvfs-backends but not cryptsetup as that messed with the harddive loading order again. I also compared synaptics package list on the new install with the packages installedon the machine with the problem, which resulted in me installing a bunch of packages which appeared to be missing on the machine with the problem, but none of this has resolved the problem. I am wondering if some necessary links that TDE creates when installing are missing due to pmount, etc not being there when TDE was installed, and me having reinstalled pmount and the other things after TDE was installed is effectively a waste of time as the the links (if there are supposed to be any) are not there. Well that's how it stands at the moment. I somehow think that I'm going to end up having to reinstall TDE default settings and the desktop to see if that will resolve the problem.
