--- Comment #3 from sfdrif...@gmail.com ---
This bug continues to exist even in a fully updated Arch/KDE platform:  after
connecting an external hard drive to the USB port, when I click “Mount & Open”
in the KDE Disks & Devices notifier window, it says “You are not authorized to
mount this device”.  Eventually, the device does mount – with the “Safely
remove” button appearing in the KDE notifier window as well as the
(contradictory) “you are not authorized” warning.

I posted a workaround here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/167c8c8/you_are_not_authorized_to_mount_this_device/

I also submitted a udisks2 issue to
https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/1393 , but discussion there
suggested that this is likely a KDE issue and thus led to this comment.

Here, as additional attached information, I’m providing the outputs of “sudo
dmesg --follow -T” and “udisksctl monitor” – as you can see, it took almost 6
minutes for the device to mount.  I suspect many folks don’t wait that long and
assume that the device won’t mount at all.
