Created attachment 121591 [details] screenshot STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. right click on the device notifier in system tray, select "Configure removable devices" 2. make sure "enable automatic mounting of removable media" option is unchecked. If so, go to step 3. Otherwise, uncheck it, click "Ok" button, reboot your computer and start a new Plasma session 3. connect a storage device (I used a pendrive) to usb port or insert a CD/DVD/BD 4. open Dolphin 5. mount your removable device by clicking on its entry under "Removable devices" in the places panel 6. right click on the device notifier in system tray, select "Configure removable devices" 7. check "enable automatic mounting of removable media" option and click "Apply" button OBSERVED RESULT As we can see in the attached screenshot, Dolphin shows an error message saying that your removable device is already mounted. Furthermore, the popup of the device notifier shows up. EXPECTED RESULT no error message, the popup of the device notifier does not show up. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0
I could reproduce it with a local removable filesystem already mounted. Although rebooting and logging out when changing "enable automatic mounting of removable media" was not necessary. The kded automounter should not try to mount an already mounted device. Diff at: https://phabricator.kde.org/D22552
