SUMMARY Momentary black screen whenever I software eject a USB drive, actually removing the device after software ejection does not cause it now does simply removing the drive without first un-mounting it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Insert any USB stick 2. Software Eject it, either from CLI, Dolphin or the Task Tray. OBSERVED RESULT Momentary, under a second, black screen across the entire display, only the mouse remains visible. EXPECTED RESULT No black screen. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION For me this is an extremely minor bug that I personally don't have issue with - if anything in fact it gives an extra layer of confirmation that I've ejected the drive. However, I am aware it is still a bug. journalctl output during a mount to eject sequence : ========== Oct 18 20:26:52 Styx kernel: usb 2-1: new SuperSpeed Gen 1 USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd Oct 18 20:26:52 Styx kernel: usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0781, idProduct=5588, bcdDevice= 1.00 Oct 18 20:26:52 Styx kernel: usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=1 Oct 18 20:26:52 Styx kernel: usb 2-1: Product: USB Extreme Pro Oct 18 20:26:52 Styx kernel: usb 2-1: Manufacturer: SanDisk Oct 18 20:26:52 Styx kernel: usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 12345978D812 Oct 18 20:26:52 Styx kernel: usb-storage 2-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected Oct 18 20:26:52 Styx kernel: scsi host0: usb-storage 2-1:1.0 Oct 18 20:26:52 Styx mtp-probe[188940]: checking bus 2, device 8: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1" Oct 18 20:26:52 Styx mtp-probe[188940]: bus: 2, device: 8 was not an MTP device Oct 18 20:26:53 Styx mtp-probe[188970]: checking bus 2, device 8: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1" Oct 18 20:26:53 Styx mtp-probe[188970]: bus: 2, device: 8 was not an MTP device Oct 18 20:26:53 Styx kernel: scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access SanDisk Extreme Pro 0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 Oct 18 20:26:53 Styx kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 250085376 512-byte logical blocks: (128 GB/119 GiB) Oct 18 20:26:53 Styx kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off Oct 18 20:26:53 Styx kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00 Oct 18 20:26:53 Styx kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA Oct 18 20:26:53 Styx kernel: sda: sda1 Oct 18 20:26:53 Styx kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk Oct 18 20:26:59 Styx udisksd[889]: Mounted /dev/sda1 at /run/media/gnome/SPEEDY on behalf of uid 1000 Oct 18 20:27:03 Styx kwin_x11[1003]: kwin_core: XCB error: 152 (BadDamage), sequence: 52916, resource id: 15411957, major code: 143 (DAMAGE), minor code: 2 (Destroy) Oct 18 20:27:03 Styx kwin_x11[1003]: kwin_core: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 52918, resource id: 62914633, major code: 129 (SHAPE), minor code: 6 (Input) Oct 18 20:27:03 Styx kwin_x11[1003]: qt.qpa.xcb: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 52919, resource id: 62914633, major code: 2 (ChangeWindowAttributes), minor code: 0 Oct 18 20:27:03 Styx systemd[1]: run-media-gnome-SPEEDY.mount: Deactivated successfully.

that's rather odd.
Please confirm if this is still an issue
(In reply to David Edmundson from comment #2) > Please confirm if this is still an issue Hi, I don't actually know because I have since stopped using KDE as my daily driver. However, as no one else has reported this issue I think we can safely assume it was environmental, and therefore can likely be closed.
