shows hidden auto mounts

SUMMARY
all of my internal drives were auto mounting just fine until I renamed their file systems. they are NTFS formatted. they are being auto mounted by KDE and there are no specific settings set for them in fstab or system settings -> removable devices.

if I rename the file system from another internal drive with fedora on it it auto mounts the same way but normally and not hidden. I have no idea how to set them back to auto mounting in this manner but not hidden?

this is my experience from kubuntu(kdef 5.47), but I get the same result from fedora 29/28(kdef5.50) beta when viewing the drives in dolphin. I can browse the internal drives just fine, it's just that their mounted dir is hidden. I have not tried anything other than KDE as the DE. i also have not tried renaming them under fedora, only kubuntu.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have NTFS formatted internal drive with KDE
2. rename file system to whatever.

OBSERVED RESULT
the mounted drive is now hidden.

EXPECTED RESULT
the drive should not be hidden.

What do you mean by "rename the file system"?

sorry, renaming the file system label in KDE Partition Manager.

Does this happen with other disks too, or just NTFS disks?

looks like only NTFS disks. ive only tested against one other non NTFS disk. its the mount labeled 'Neon' which is actually fedora 29 beta. it seems to mount in a non hidden state correctly after renaming of the file system label.

Thanks, that's helpful. Seems like maybe some corner case relating to Bug 392913.

Are your renamed NTFS disks still hidden after a reboot?

yep. and they are hidden when i boot into another KDE distro in multi boot setup. in my case kubuntu and fedora 29 beta.

i just tried a fresh install of neon with plasma 5.14 and did not have this issue: neon-useredition-20181009-1029-amd64.iso

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2018-10-09 20:55:59 UTC

Well that's nice! Let's see if it also reproduces with a fresh user account on one of the affected systems.

Comment 9 Justin Zobel 2022-12-01 04:34:37 UTC

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
