Nasty error message
After 5d2b5180fc4d1737f12cbbaba12884dbae832823 (confirmed with git bisect),
unlocking LUKS devices suffers from a poor UI: when you try a "mount and open"
from either the Disks & Devices applet or Dolphin's sidebar, you are asked for
a password, but after you enter it, a nasty error message is seen. See
attachment.
The encrypted volume is indeed mounted and shows up in the "Devices" section of
the Places panel, but does not appear as such in the "Removable Devices"
section of the Places panel or the Disks & Devices applet. Instead, it shows up
as locked and unmounted there; if you click on it, it asks you the password to
unlock again. If you enter it, you will see a new error message explaining that
it is already unlocked. This is weird and confusing and will probably trick
people into thinking their data is inaccessible, which happened to me when I
first encountered the problem, causing a few minutes of panic.
