Description Brennan Kinney 2019-09-21 05:24:23 UTC
SUMMARY

When accessing a USB stick formatted with exfat(in a dirty state) via dolphin, the mount fails with a timeout error in Dolphin error dialog/status. When mounting via terminal, the error states the filesystem was not cleanly unmounted.

At the same time, a notification on the panel pops up that claims "unauthorized access", but exfat does not have permissions and this is not the actual error. That is misleading to the user.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug in USB with exfat partition in a dirty state.
2. Access it via Dolphin.
3. Timeout triggers a notification about a lack of permissions while Dolphin's error conveys different information.

OBSERVED RESULT

Inconsistent errors between Dolphin and the notification panel. Notification panel also is incorrect about the cause.


EXPECTED RESULT

Consistency, or at least the notification not claiming it's an authorization/permissions problem.

A lot has changed since this bug was filed. Is it still reproducible for you in Plasma 5.24 (the latest LTS version) or 5.25 (the latest version, period)?
