Bug 383498

Automatically mounting is the intended behaviour, and (as unhelpful as this comment is) it works here.

Is this just on your personal machine or Limux too?

Can you run "solid-hardware5 listen" whilst you plug in the disk then try to open it with the "open with file manager"

What do you mean with "or Limux too?"?

Here's the output:

$ solid-hardware5 listen
Listening to add/remove events: 
"/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/UFD_3_2e0_Silicon_Power16G_P1503992734160100178" has new interfaces: ("org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Drive")
Device Added:
udi = '/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/UFD_3_2e0_Silicon_Power16G_P1503992734160100178'
"/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdb" has new interfaces: ("org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block", "org.freedesktop.UDisks2.PartitionTable")
Device Added:
udi = '/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdb'

Device Added:
udi = '/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdb1'

No output is generated when I try to "Open with file manager" (which produces the error described above) or actually mount the device via the "mount" button. Also, I get the very same output if I have Dolphin open. When I click on the device to view it, it's mounted, but also no additional output is genrerated.

I think I have your name confused with someone else... sorry.

The fact that you see the error means we're trying to mount it, which is a good sign.

Is there anything in the udisks2 log?

sudo journalctl -u udisks2 -b

I don't use systemd, but the "everything" log is empty besides the kernel message that the disk was found. This is everything after connecting the stick and clicking on "View with file manager":

I don't want the kernel log, I want the log from udisks2 the Daemon sending is the error.

Okay, here's what the udisk monitor prints out when plugging the USB stick:

# udisksctl monitor

There's no output when trying to "view in file manager" though.

It's also not possible to mount a dm-crypt/luks encrypted disk via the device notifier. It also fails with "You don't have the permission to mount this device". Probably the very same issue.

I've just tested on latest Plasma from git master and devices are automatically mounted for me when clicking on the Open with File Manager option.

Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I'm setting status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" when you respond, thanks.

In regards to the other encrypted disk issue, if that is still occurring can you please open a separate bug report so it can be investigated.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least
15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as
possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug
tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with
no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
due to lack of needed information.

For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the
wiki located here:
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging

If you have already provided the requested information, please
mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is
ready to be confirmed.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Sorry, I overlooked this one! Seems like the issue has been fixed. Using Plasma 5.19.5, removable media is mounted as expected when clicking on "Open with file manager".

Thanks for confirming Tobias.
