Bug ID: 462190
Summary: Timeout too short for mounting devices, spits “not
authorized” wrong error message
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.26.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Disks & Devices
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sw...@petaramesh.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When mounting a device that takes a long time mounting (in my case a BTRFS
filesystem on LUKS encryption residing on a slow external USB HDD, takes more
than 20 seconds to mount), the KDE Plasma disks applets spits an error “Not
authorized to mount filesystem”, even though the mount ultimately succeeds.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect an external USB device containing a FS that is really long to mount
(i.e. a slow USB device containing a BTRFS filesystem on top of LUKS
encryption)
2. The disk applet pops-up
3. Click on “mount“ or “mount and open”
OBSERVED RESULT
- After some time the disks applet spits an error message stating that the user
is not authorized to mount the device
- Nevetheless, the mount eventually succeeds
- But the disks applet will never be aware that the mount ultimately succeeded,
thus will never propose an option to unmount/disconnect the device
EXPECTED RESULT
- I would expect the disk applet to wait for the device to actually mount, and
not assume a somewhat long mount time is an error.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 5.26.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Same device works good with automounters in Gnome or Cinnamon, only KDE
causes an issue.
