I open the storage media popup, click on a storage media item, the dropdown menu opens (which, as mentioned, did not happen before I upgraded everything), and I select dolphin. Again, I get permission denied. Then I open dolphin manually and click on the media item, and then I get as many additional dolphin windows as I tried to open the media via the popup menu. Unmounting via the plasma popup works, though. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Ich möchte nicht, daß irgendetwas von mir oder über mich auf Facebook landet.

But I saw no message of package or library conflicts, so I was unaware of it. Once I marked all available "kde apps" packages to be upgraded to their 16.04 version in my package manager, everything went back to normal: now when I click a media item in the storage media popup, I get the usual dropdown menu with possible actions. I didn't have that menu and was wondering where it went. I actually didn't miss it and thought it was removed, since it meant one less click to access the media.

The first time I clicked the popup away, opened it again and clicked the item, I got a Dolphin window and a message about not being able to open a URL. I clicked it away too soon to note the actual URL. I tried it again now and gave it some time. The popup did not go away by itself. And even after a few minutes of waiting, I still get permission denied. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.

I have all the automagic mounting stuff turned off here, no policykit, udisks, etc, installed. If I want something mounted, I mount it. When I want it umounted, I umount it. KDE/plasma-lite, in that regard and a number of others. (FWIW I patch plasma-workspace and plasma-desktop sources to drop the baloo requirement. There's a gentoo bug with the patches for anyone else interested but the gentoo/kde project isn't, so it's closed.) So the degree to which I can be of help is rather limited. However, the problem reads to me like a missing polkit invocation in the failing path. I'd dig around to find the commandline used in both paths, and compare them. Presumably the failing one is missing the bit that invokes polkit to get the permissions to do the mount. With a bit of luck you can get confirmation here whether it works on other distros (along with their upstream kde plasma and frameworks release numbers). You can also search kde bugzilla to see what comes up there, and presuming it's not gentoo specific, can cc a bug or file a new one if necessary. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

[kde] Mounting storage media via plasma applet: no permission
Hello fellows, a week or so ago I did the upgrade from 4.14 to 5.7.0. Once I got around all package-manager-related complications, the system is stable and works as expected for the most parts. I've not had a single crash yet. :) I have a teensy weensy problem with mounting removable storage media. In short form: A) - insert media - open Dolphin - click the media's item on the Places panel -> the content is displayed and all is fine B) - insert media - use the appearing popup to display contents in Dolphin -> I get permission denied message - open Dolphin - click the media's item -> the content is displayed and a second Dolphin opens with the same path Does this sound familiar to anyone? @Duncan: revdep-rebuild and @preserved-rebuild return empty results. ;) -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Never trust an atom... they make up everything! signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.
