I'm sorry, I thought bug #72869 was a duplicate of this bug, and I didn't read that bug's whole description beforehand.
In fact, there seem to be two different issues and bug #72869 is /not/ a duplicate of this bug! My problem is related to the very latest upgrade of hal, libhal-storage1 and libhal1 from 0.5.7-1ubuntu18.1 to 0.5.7-1ubuntu18.2, because a downgrade to the former version as described in #72869 solves the problem for me. Please unmark/separate the duplicate bugs. -- Not possible to mount USB stick after upgrading to kde-3.5.5 https://launchpad.net/bugs/65662 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
