Was KDE 4.10.1 but the same situation persists with KDE 4.10.2 I'm experiencing a similar issue while trying to mount a usb key containing the live iso of Mageia 3 (live kde 64bit [1] ). The key was written using the dd command (using bs=1024). The disk doesn't appear into the notification area at all. I'm using KDE 4.10.2 provided by Mageia 3. Attaching the usb key on Mageia 2 using KDE 4.8.3 the device is properly detected and shown into the notification area. Note please that to be able to mount this key manually I have to use the following command: mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdb /mnt (note also that I mount the entire device, not only a partition). Regards. [1] http://www.mageia.org/de/downloads/get/?q=Mageia-3-LiveDVD-KDE4-x86_64-DVD.iso Still there using KDE 4.10.4 - problem has wider ramifications My nook e-reader is unusable I have just tried to attach a "nook" e-reader which is treated the same way as a live USB stick (see above) it triggers Dolphin but is unreadable/unwriteable It doesn't affect all USB devices - for example my Western Digital external hard drive is fine as as any VFAT formatted USB I've just upgraded libudisks2-0 from 2.0 to 2.1 from Factory unstable (Base:System) nook e-reader now works Unfortunately with KDE 4.11 with a clean install on openSUSE 12.3, the fix from Factory no longer works Problem still there with KDE SC 4.11.3 (using openSUSE 13.1) The same, or a very similar issue occurs for me with a 1TB external HDD (WDC_WD10JMVW_11AJGS3_WD_WX71EA3DDVU4). The ext-4 formatted drive can be mounted manually but KDE (dolphin, device notifier) just cannot see the drive. Attempting to mount it manually through solid-hardware gives the error "ERROR: {udi} does not have the interface StorageAccess" This bug is reported on libsolid which is the kdelibs4 version of the solid library. It is now in maintenance mode. If you think it should still be fixed in the KDE Frameworks 5 version of solid please move it to or report a bug on frameworks-solid. On OpenSUSE 13.2 KDE 4.14.5 the ability to see live USB sticks is restored. ISO USBs remain invisible but can be reached via YaST) I no longer have a NOOK so can't explore the other issues. I would propose closing this bug and seeing what we get on KF5 others might have different views |
