I could be wrong but this sounds like a smart failure or a cable connection
error.
Shutdown the box, unplug it, press the power button for 20s, then unplug and
replug the harddrive in. BE CAREFUL. Check the connection on the board as
well. BE CAREFUL. They can go "stale".
If that doesn't help, the IDE (intergrated device electronics) on the hard
drive may be failing.
Unmount it and run some tests using GSmartControl.
This is common behavior of a dying electronics on an otherwise healthy hard
drive.
Hope this helps,
Kate

This issue just started, seemingly out of the blue. My
system has been
running just fine, and I haven't made any changes or installed anything new
or upgraded in a long time.
The first signs I had were earlier this evening, when suddenly one of my
external hard drives was not recognized. When I tried mounting and
unmounting, everything seemed very slow; still couldn't get it to recognize
that external hard drive. Finally I unmounted everything, then tried just
that hard drive, and it mounted normally.
When I tried to open it, however, Konqueror started acting really weird,
and a window opened but nothing was displayed.
At last I decided to reinstall my system, but after booting up again,
nothing has changed in this behavior. I did finally get a message window
(not in TDE style, but rather in XFCE or Gnome or whatever) saying
something
like "message bus could not connect, connection refused - but why all of a
sudden? Everything has been running great.
It occurs to me that somebody on the mailing list mentioned that Konqueror
was acting a little weird, and I wondered if this could be related.
I am running Devuan Chimaera (= Debian Bullseye) and currently using the
TDE stable repositories.
Any help would be appreciated.
Bill
