Description Edmund Laugasson 2024-04-16 02:11:49 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #477915 +++

SUMMARY
When to try mount an encrypted drive (LUKS2 + EXT4) either via system dock or in Dolphin, instead of the password prompt and mounting as regular user, nothing happens. Sometimes also claims about missing permissions.

After unlocking the drive with cryptsetup through konsole, there is possible to mount it in Dolphin or via system dock. Also using GNOME Disks or KDE Partition Manager for unlocking works.

I tried this on Endeavour OS system.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have an encrypted storage device plugged in via USB
2. Try to open applet from system dock, which will pop-up when drive is connected or also file manager Dolphin
3. Click on the encrypted drive in the places panel in the devices section or also try to click on the pop-up panel in system dock to unlock and mount.

OBSERVED RESULT
Does not unlock and mount as regular user and says: not sufficient permissions.

EXPECTED RESULT
Password prompt pops up, after encrypted drive password is entered as regular user successfully, drive gets mounted, even user is not in wheel or sudo group.

In system dock it says: not enough permissions. Sometimes says nothing - just won't unlock and mount.
in Dolphin it says: Object does not exist at path "/"
When opening Dolphin via CLI, it says nothing when trying to unlock LUKS-encrypted USB-drive.

Comment 2 Edmund Laugasson 2024-04-16 02:33:32 UTC

At the same time Gnome Disks under KDE does unlock and mount as regular user. KDE Partition Manager does as well but as it requires superuser credentials, not usable for regular user.
