No, I canot confirm the issue. Here on Bookworm (sid - unstable) with KDE Plasma 5.27.2 I tried a USB3 Stick with a KNOPPIX system on it. It was recognized, mounted, unmounted. Removed and connected again and every time it was recognized. Then I tried an old USB2 stick. It was recognized but could not be mounted. It had many partitions on it. Then it dawned on me: I had put an OpenBSD system on that one. So that was to be expected. Cleaned the partitioning so it appeared as sde - no partitions. Then mkfs.vfat so it could be recognized even by a dumb MS-Windows installation. Then tried with your problem description again. It was slower, same as would be expected but recognized and mounted every time. So now what's to do? Is the stick recognized on your system so you can see it with dmesg? It ought to be if it is only a Plasma5 problem and not with the underlying operating system. You say that on the same computer, same OS but other desktop environment it works flawlessly. But anyway: Did you try another stick? Use another USB port? Does it happen on USB3 ports or also on USB2 ports? Same problem? Did it ever work before? I ask because there is still a chance that the stick itself has a problem or the port has. Unfortunately I don't know what might be missing on your Plasma5 installation and I cannot come up with a recommendation off my head.. Maybe you can rummage through the plasma-parts or KDE-parts by means of aptitude and install/try modules/packages which might have a connection with filesystems / external drives etc. Cheers Eike -- Eike Lantzsch KY4PZ / ZP5CGE

That's where dead grave acute comes into play. The circonflex is typed by ' ` and the character. "The usual diacritics[1] are the acute[2] (⟨´⟩, /accent aigu/), the grave[3] (⟨`⟩, /accent grave/), the circumflex[4] (⟨ˆ⟩, /accent circonflexe/), the diaeresis[5] (⟨¨⟩, /tréma/), and the cedilla[6] (⟨¸ ⟩, /cédille/)." Wikipedia The tilde[7] diacritical mark ( ˜ ) above n is occasionally used in French for words and names of Spanish[8] origin that have been incorporated into the language (e.g., /El Niño[9]/). Like the other diacritics, the tilde has no impact on the primary alphabetical order. -- Eike Lantzsch KY4PZ / ZP5CGE [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_accent [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_accent [4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumflex [5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaeresis_(diacritic) [6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedilla [7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilde [8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language [9] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Ni%C3%B1o

That is allright for Programming, German documents and Spanish but for Portuguese and French I would need German dead tilde and dead grave acute and one precludes the other. Also C-cedille is missing that would require yet another keyboard layout: Brazilian Portuguese. I do use KCharselect for the idioms I rarely write in if I don't know the character code.

I put them into /home/username/tmp after the disaster which I experienced once. It is not LibreOffice that is to blame, I think, but KDE in my case. Maybe if working with Gnome it wouldn't happen. I don't know. There is an edge case in KDE which impedes sometimes the write of temp files no matter where you put them. It is difficult to reproduce. It does not have to do with file ownership or the destination being writable. I tried all that. It is a real malfunction - "mal funktioniert's und mal nicht" in German. The part for which I do blame LibreOffice is that, if unable to save the backup copy, it ought to write the original if that can be written at all - which in my case *is possible* even when the temp-file-problem happens.

I experienced this behaviour recently to my dismay (not to say anger). So beware: If you get the warning that the backup copy cannot be written, then save your document in another way. E.g. ctrl-a and paste it into an editor or whatever so at least you have your text safe even without the formatting and whatnot. This is a very silly behaviour of LibreOffice. If the backup copy cannot be written but the document can be written - why not at least save the document before closing the LibreOffice Writer? After this experience I disabled backup copies because it is even more dangerous than working without backup copies. The reasons why backup copies sometimes cannot be written is very obscure. It seems to be a hickup of KDE which affects LibreOffice because similar things happen sometimes with Okular which sometimes is unable to write its tmp files.

For example I use to have this dynamic page open. https://www.dxmaps.com/spots/mapg.php?Lan=E=50=M=N[1] If it shows up (out of cache) it sits on 'VHF & up' and on '6m' I change it to 'LF - HF' and '10m'. It then updates the information (spots and daylight) automatically. With this static page, when (or if) it is shown out of cache I Ctrl-R and it does show the updated information of DX-expeditions. That is only necessary once a dayhttps:// www.ng3k.com/Misc/adxo.html[2] But when FF decides to (or stumbles over its feet) blank the page I have to Ctrl-R several times until the page 'stays put'. Several times because if this happens, FF does it again and again for 3 to 4 times. On this government page I used to enter my code 'Código de Expediente' once a day and then, by entering the simple captcha text, am able to see how far my document/form has advanced in the beaurocratic process and in which department it is stuck right now.https://staf-servicios.conatel.gov.py/ConatelJavaEnvironment/servlet/ com.conatel.consultaexp[3] But if FF blanks the page I have to reload and enter the code and then enter another captcha text.

It does and, provided the page is shown at all, this page used to be shown after startup exactly as I set it.

I didn't find anything similar in the settings of FF but there is in about:config browser.tabs.min_inactive_duration_before_unload I am testing this right now with a higer number of seconds (I believe that it is set in seconds). Weird thing is that FF tends to unload the tabs agressively when starting to use the browser but later when I've gone through the process of reloading the pages and filling in requested data, adjusting the focus of maps and whatnot *several times* then it seems to succumb to the will of the user and maintain the pages loaded. Absolutely weird behaviour ... Textarea Cache is a fine extension for what it's worth and for what it's intended but unfortunately does not help in my usecase (entering package codes, adjusting maps for size and focus, filling forms of state agencies. It does not even cache the text entered on WhatsApp or Google Translate. Answer is "No cache here". Anyway I leave it installed because the possibility to save text comes in handy when e.g. answering to blog posts. Thanks again All the best Eike -- Eike Lantzsch KY4PZ / ZP6CGE

Firefox 104 on Sid unusable because it blanks open tabs after a few minutes
I admit that I usually have ~ 70 tabs open. FF does not blank all, just most of them. Then I have to reload the pages and enter all information again if the pages contain forms like snail-mail tracking, tracking of packages, tracking of processes with the local communications state agency, following geomagnetic storms, RF-Propagation, blogs etc etc. My time is too valuable to waste it reloading and reloading web pages again and again. It happens with dynamic pages and with static pages. There is no consistency at all. I looked into the FF settings for a setup - but no - there is nothing about this behaviour. OK, so which browser will I now use instead of Firefox? have a nice day Eike -- Eike Lantzsch KY4PZ
