Bug#745719: kdebase: KDE device notifier does not reattach USB drives
Package: kdebase
Version: 5:66
Severity: normal
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy.
In Squeeze I found a good management of usb mass storage devices.
Clicking on the icon in the tray, it's possible to
-open the filesystem with file manager
-open it with a photo-something (I didn't try it, but it doesn't hurt)
-making it available to other application (mounting without open any software)
Then, with the "eject" icon, it's possible to unmount it. So far, so good, and
in Wheezy it's the same.
After the unmount, in Squeeze it's possible to reconnect the drive clicking on
the previous icons. In Wheezy, all icons disappear and you can't do anything
(until the drive has not been phisically unplugged and replugged).
The issue is documented also here
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293906
But they say simply that it's resolved in KDE 4.10.2, a very newer version than
Wheezy's one.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Now I have to physically unplug and replug the drive.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The same as in Squeeze: the possibility of reattach.
