When I have Dolphin open and plug a removable storage device like an USB stick, it appears in "Places". When I click on it, it's mounted and I can access it. When I try to mount it via the device notifier by clicking "Open with file manager" (or so), I get "You don't have the permission to mount this device". When I click that "mount" logo, the device is actually mounted, and Dolphin pops up when I click on it afterwards. The device should IMO be mounted and displayed (in Dolphin) when clicking on "Display in file manager". Or at least say "Don't click here when the device is not mounted yet, click the mount button first" – but I think we can really cheap out this by doing it automatically. I mean, when I click on it to view it, I also want to mount it first, don't I?! ;-) The "no permission" error message is a bit confusing as this is simply not the case. First time I saw this, I kept searching for why I'm not allowed anymore to mount removable media, until I saw that it's simply not the case. Would be very nice it this was fixed.
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' "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdb1" has new interfaces: ("org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block", "org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem", "org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Partition") 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": Sep 07 19:29:05 [kernel] [120132.771863] usb 3-8: new high-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd Sep 07 19:29:05 [kernel] [120132.945275] usb 3-8: New USB device found, idVendor=090c, idProduct=1000 Sep 07 19:29:05 [kernel] [120132.945276] usb 3-8: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Sep 07 19:29:05 [kernel] [120132.945277] usb 3-8: Product: Silicon-Power16G Sep 07 19:29:05 [kernel] [120132.945278] usb 3-8: Manufacturer: UFD 3.0 Sep 07 19:29:05 [kernel] [120132.945278] usb 3-8: SerialNumber: P1503992734160100178 Sep 07 19:29:05 [kernel] [120132.946388] usb-storage 3-8:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected Sep 07 19:29:05 [kernel] [120132.946429] scsi host4: usb-storage 3-8:1.0 Sep 07 19:29:06 [kernel] [120134.265838] scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access UFD 3.0 Silicon-Power16G 1100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 Sep 07 19:29:06 [kernel] [120134.265966] sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 Sep 07 19:29:06 [kernel] [120134.266567] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] 31490048 512-byte logical blocks: (16.1 GB/15.0 GiB) Sep 07 19:29:06 [kernel] [120134.267066] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Sep 07 19:29:06 [kernel] [120134.267584] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA Sep 07 19:29:06 [kernel] [120134.271298] sdb: sdb1 Sep 07 19:29:06 [kernel] [120134.273285] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
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 Monitoring the udisks daemon.

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.
(In reply to Tobias Leupold from comment #8) > 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.
