Created attachment 113459 [details] Actions showed for normal partition, but not for dmcrypt LUKS Description of the problem: When a removable device with an encrypted partition is inserted the device notifier will show it, but will propose no action for it. Clicking on the item will do nothing. Only clicking the little "eject" icon will trigger the mount (and, even when successful it will show an error message "You are not authorized to mount this device"; the device is correctly accessible from /run/media despite what the error says). In the attached screenshot an example of the problem can be seen. This is an external USB HDD with two partitions, first one 800 GB vfat, second one 1 TB dmcrypt LUKS with ext4 on top. Clicking the first one will show the possible expected list of actions, but none would be shown when clicking on the second partition label. At least the "Open with file manager" action would be expected, also in line with what is shown for closed Vaults. Steps to reproduce: 1. take a removable device, such as a USB based storage 2. create at least one partition with your favorite partition editor 3. create a LUKS device on at least one of the created partitions: cryptsetup luksFormat --cipher aes-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --verify-passphrase /dev/path/to/partition 4. open the device to create a file system on it: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/path/to/partition encrypted-partition-alias 5. create the FS: mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/encrypted-partition-alias 6. remove the USB device, insert it again 7. check device notifier Reproducible: always Note clicking on the disk label used to work before. I'm not entirely sure when it stopped as I didn't used the device very often in the last couple of months Versions infomation: OS: Fedora 28 up to date Plasma: 5.12.5 kf5: 5.47 (just updated, problem was present also with 5.46) Qt: 5.10.1 I'll try Plasma 5.13 as soon as it's released as an update in Fedora 28 and report back.
I am using zuluCrypt GUI to mount encrypted volumes, but would indeed be nice if it was possible directly from Plasma device list.
Confirmed! OS: Ubuntu (bionic) with KDE neon 5.14.2 Frameworks: 5.51.0 Qt: 5.11.2
Confirmed : 4.19.0-4-MANJARO LSB Version: n/a Distributor ID: ManjaroLinux Description: Manjaro Linux Release: 18.0.0 Codename: Illyria Plasma 5.14.2 Frameworks 5.51.0 Qt 5.11.2
same problem here Plasma 5.14.4 Frameworks 5.53.0 Qt 5.11.3
restarting plasma with kquitapp5 plasmashell /usr/bin/plasmashell & also "fixes" the problem after "You are not authorized to mount this device" is shown and i can select "Open with File Manager". But the restart has to be done after a new encrypted devices gets unlocked
Confirmed on Debian 10 Buster. Also, I note that it worked correctly on KDE4 on Debian 9 Stretch, so this is a regression.
This is still an issue in Plasma 5.20 with the new UI.
Once the device is mounted, the actions are still not visible for me, but restarting plasmashell fixes it. So there must be an issue somewhere of the new status not propagating to the UI automatically.
