I might add, once you click that it will then open with file manager as
well.  If you click to open in file manager first, you get the error. 
Odd stuff it is. 

I might add, while my camera works, I have to start digikam manually
where I used to click on the open in digiKam entry there.  I know I can
add the entry there but I'm not sure how that works since when I do, it
doesn't work.  Clicking the mount thing first doesn't work either.  It
still doesn't show the entry like it used to. 

I've learned that asking about the way KDE does some things is not a
good idea either.

When the pop-up notification comes up that says a device has been 
plugged in, did you click on the checkmark on that notification? If you 
click the device itself, you will get "permission denied". If you click 
the checkmark, it work fine.


(Don't ask me why that is. This is KDE. I stopped asking such silly 
questions a very long time ago.)

Hi, All.

After some issues (some not yet solved, but on the way...), there is one
pretty annoying: regular users have to provide root password in order to
mount a flash drive, for instance.

Am I missing something?


Are the users in the "plugdev" group?

My USB hard drive mounted without asking for a password, but without
permission for regular users to read or write.  With it mounted, I
chown-ed the mountpoint to [myuser]:users, and since then everything
Just Works.
