This error appeared with KDE 4.10.1. Normally I set to show all devices = it is convenient when I have multiple partitions + mobile devices = ease of mounting and unmounting disks from the panel. However, since version 4.10.1 Disk window appears every 10 seconds, which causes a lot of problems such as when playing full-screen games - the loss of productivity and output in full-screen mode. This results in a complete lack of suitability of this program, and problems in the normal functioning of the system. Reproducible: Always
I am also experiencing this bug since upgrading to KDE 4.10.1, except in my case the "Available Devices" notification window appears every two minutes instead of every 10 seconds. When this happens, the Device Notifier icon briefly changes to a blue exclamation point, but nothing in my system has changed. If I unmount the only device currently shown in Device Manager (my flash drive), then the Available Devices popups stop.
So far the only workaround I have found for this bug is to remove the Device Notifier widget altogether. Otherwise it just gets really annoying and disruptive.
ext73, shouldn't this bug's component be "widget-devicenotifier" rather than "notifications"? You might want to change that to get the attention of the correct developers.
ok I changed it ;) greetings
I think I may have found the problem. I compared the KDE 4.10.0 and 4.10.1 versions of the device-notifier plugin, and I found the following addition at line 66 in the file "/usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma/plasmoids/notifier/contents/ui/devicenotifier.qml": onNewData: { last = sourceName; processLastDevice(); } After removing these lines from the file, the constant popups have stopped. The device-notifier widget now seems to function as it did before the 4.10.1 upgrade.
You're right it works ;) Greetings
Thanks a lot! Removing these lines really saved my day!
this should have been fixed by commit fb5903f047f643210da4073087b404838557c03b; please reopen otherwise. __J
