When trying to mount a LUKS encrypted harddisk with Dolphin on KDE 4.9 the operation fails with the following error message: The requested operation has failed.: Error unlocking device: timeout (10s) waiting for cleartext device to show up The cleartext device gets set up though, under /dev/mapper/udisks-luks-uuid-$UUID. When I mount the cleartext device manually with "udisks --mount /dev/mapper/udisks-luks-uuid-$UUID" it works fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to mount an encrypted device with Dolphin, KDE 4.9 2. 3. Actual Results: Mount failure Expected Results: Mount success
Thanks for the bug report! I assume that this only happens when trying to mount the device by clicking it in the Places Panel and that clicking it in Plasma's device notifier still works OK, right? I don't have an encrypted device and can't do any testing myself, but I assume that this is a regression caused by Peter's Places Panel rewrite.
Since these are internal hard drives (in my case at least) they don't show up in the device notifier so I can't tell if that still works.

I tried it - with Device Notifier and - with the Device Plasmoid (probably the same?) It gives the decrypted device at /dev/mapper -links-to- /dev/dm-0 But it does not mount! And it does not change the status of the device notifier! But a simple root Konsole mount /dev/dm-0 /mnt mount the decrypted device!

Thanks, that's interesting! Do you know if it worked with the Device Notifier/Plasmoid in KDE 4.8? I'm just trying to find out if this is a regression in Dolphin or somewhere else.
Sure it works with Kde-4.8. I every second day used it. It is seemingly like a timeout problem ...
Gentoo has solved this bug for me! I am using udev-187, possible releated Changelog was: sys-fs/udisks-1.0.4-r3 sys-fs/udisks-1.99.0-r1 "Use udev.pc pkg-config file to determine udevhelperdir and udevrulesdir. Dummy revision bump for UDisks2 because it has the same logic for --with-udevdir= in configure.ac."
This is the downstream bug where it was said to consider bug upstream to Kde: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429618#c1
Yes, the fault lies with Gentoo in this case. The updates udisks package fixed it for me, too.
Thanks for the update! It's good to know that it works now :-)
