Dear list, there is an issue in plasma5, I can not find the cause.
When pluggin in an USB-stick at the first time, plasma5 sees the stick and using the plasma-applet I can manually bind it. This is working always. After my work is done, I can then correctly unbind it and then unplug it from the usb-port. But, if I want to use the same usb-stick again and plug it back into the usb- port, it is not recognized, that an usb-stick is plugged in. However, syslog does see it, but it looks the windowmanager does not recognize it. In the past I discovered this issue, too, but here was the trick, to use another physical usb-port. However, when all usb-ports had been once used, this trick did not work any more. Today this trick is not working at all any more. I believe, plasma5 might hold some cached information and believes, the usb- stick is still put in - but maybe I am wrong, who knows. Can somebody confirm this behaviour, too? If I know, where to file a bugreport to and what might be responsible, I would do it. At the moment I am lost, so can't file a bugreport. Thanks for reading this. Oh and if this is not a bug, but a misunderstanding of the system, please feel free to enlighten me. Best regards Hans
