Description d.lecardez 2011-04-23 11:32:04 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Today I have updated kde from 4.5.5 to 4.6.2 with yum.
After restarting kde, I noticed that when I plug an external usb device, dolphin, konqueror and the device notifier are now displaying the device vendor name instead of the device volume label. The problem seems to be related to USB  direct access devices like USB key and MP3 devices.
There is no problems with external USB disk devices;
 
Example 1:
With this dmesg info and with an USB mp3 device  with volume label RADIO-MP3

Before update "RADIO-MP3" was displayed.
After update "ACTIONS  HS USB FlashDisk" is dislayed.

Example 2:
This is an external USB disk drive with volume label "320gb".
Before and after the update, I get the correct information "320gb".

Tested with nautilus without problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
With Kde 4.6.2, plug an USB memory stick formated and having a volume name, notice what dolphin,konqueror and device notifier return.

Actual Results:  
The vendor name is returned instead of the volume name for direct access external USB devices

Expected Results:  
Get Kde 4.5.5 behaviour: show Volume name instead of vendor name.

Today, installed FC15 + kde 4.6.3 and get the same problem.

Comment 2 d.lecardez 2011-07-21 13:44:22 UTC

Is there a chance to get this problem fixed ?

This is very annoying when you have many external devices as they appear with the same name under the places toolbar. Before, it was possible to differentiate them 
by assigning a label.

Now I'm running Fedora 15 and I do not  have  the choice to select a Kde 4.5.5

Thanks.

Hey there!

I had a similar problem and could fix it finally!!! 
I tried everything to label my USB stick, but anyway Dolphin showed the description of the USB drive and NOT the label.

Finally, "playing" with palimpsest and comparing my usb drives, I realised the one usb drive, which name I couldn't change, was not partitioned!

Changing this by choosing FAT, made it possible to change the name finally!!!

I don't know, if this is a "real" soultion of the problem or just a workaround.

What matters: The problem is finally gone!!!

Regards,
Chipy

Works fine with KDE 4.7+, the label is always preferred. Reopen if the problem persists.
