Description isaacbigboss76 2025-04-25 16:25:16 UTC
SUMMARY

Local drive not shown in Dolphin "Devices" after partition resize.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Move and resize system partition from a bootable USB.
2. Boot normally

OBSERVED RESULT

System is fine, fstab is valid (UUIDs are unchanged), the local drive can even be browsed, but it somehow doesn't show in "Devices"

EXPECTED RESULT

"Devices" should have something like "32,0 GiB Hard Drive" as its first entry.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 John Kizer 2025-04-26 06:14:53 UTC
Thank you for your bug report!

Debian advises users to not submit bugs upstream (https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting), as this version of the KDE software is out of support from KDE, and so it's possible that the bug exists only in Debian at this point.

Could you report the bug to Debian using the report bug utility (https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/reportbug)? If necessary, the maintainer of the package will forward the bug upstream.

Thanks for understanding!

Thank you for your response.

I found the problem was because I moved & resized the partition with a Windows third-party software (EaseUS Partition Master 13.0), which flagged it as a windows system partition (or something like that).
I re-flagged it as a Linux Root Partition (x86) from a bootable USB drive, that fixed the bug.

In conclusion, I'm not sure this is worth reporting to Debian either (maybe to EaseUS), but I wanted to reply this for future reference if someone ever makes the same mistake.

Have a good day!
