Bug#757413: this is not only about kde
severity 757413 serious
I can confirm this bug. A line for /dev/usb0 in /etc/fstab breaks
mounting under KDE because any USB stick gets mounted at /media/usb0 as
root and read-only for user before KDE can mount it at /meda/user/LABEL.
Worse, the same problem occurs in a Gnome sessions.
I have recently installed three Jessie systems and it turns out that
such a line was left in /etc/fstab on the one machine where I had
inserted an USB stick with firmware when I was prompted to do so during
installation:
/dev/sdd1 /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
This line is absent on the other two machines where I didn't need any
firmware.
This bug is serious since it breaks other packages, notably it
completely breaks USB stick mounting for ordinary users in the default
desktop environment.
I suppose the line in /etc/fstab ought to be removed after the
debian-installer is finished with the firmware.
Cheers
-rbk.
