Bug ID: 430135
Summary: KDE Partition manager creates unusable external drives
(accessible only by root account)
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 4.1.0
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open it
2. create a partition table and partition ext4
3. open drive in file manager
4. try to move a file to the drive, it's impossible.
OBSERVED RESULT
can't write to drive via file manager (unless you're using using acient
software that allows opening gui as root)
EXPECTED RESULT
should be able to write to drive without root access, or at least have a gui
option to create a writable drive. Otherwise, what is even the point of the GUI
if you have to drop to the CLI to change permissions?
no root as default makes more sense, since root access for a removable drive
makes absolutely no sense. I think Gnome Disks has sane behavior in this
regard.
