Hi list,
I'm on TDE R14.0.4, Mint 18 installation. If I insert any USB memory stick I get two icons on the desktop and two pop-up windows notifying me "a new medium has been detected". E.g. one icon gives hint "/dev/sdd", the other one "/dev/sdd1". One of both mounts device, the other one states "unable to open device" even if I press it first. The correct message is:
========= snip =============== Unable to mount this device. Potential reasons include: Improper device and/or user privilege level Corrupt data on storage device Technical details: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem' on object at path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdd ========= snip ===============
Anyone any idea where to look for this problem? Even an USB printer opens a notifier window asking what to do with the removable device.
I already moved away the .trinity folder and logged in again without success.
Any help is appreciated Gerhard
PS: I could try to chose 'do nothing' and check the 'always do this for this type of media' checkbox for the non working device but I fear, that afterwards even the correct working notification will not display any longer.

Same here (openSuSE Leap 42.3 + TDE 14.0.4). However, I don't see the same on my main Desktop (Debian 8 + 14.0.4).
So it must have to do with *some* configuration ... Didn't find what yet.

I would love to trade problems with you two. I never get any notification from Debian or openSUSE: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2780

Yes, I'll send you one of my 2 notifiers (unfortunately you'll get the wrong one) ;-) Joke aside, where can I look, how can I help?

Hi you three, welcome to the club. All my remaining linux systems are affected to some degree of "lost" device events, not limited to TDE. The problem started ~ 2 years ago and got worse ever since. As far as I tracked it down, "something" is consuming device events before they get sent to the netlink. I tried the C program from this text: https://landley.net/kdocs/pending/hotplug.txt - It does not show any notifications when an "unwanted" device is connected.

Thats to be expected. /dev/sdd is not normally a mountable partition, but it does contain the partitioning data even if its only one partition encompassing the whole device.
So you can "mount" /dev/sdd1 if the partition table data is in a format known to mount. Obviously you can't mount a reiserfs partition by telling mount "-t ext4". Man mount s/b your friend.

Hi, Gerhard. :^)

I've had that off and on. If I "dd" an install CD/DVD image to a thumb drive, then it will do exactly that, open both the device and the partition.
Even if I repartition/reformat the thumb drive, it would continue to do so.
I found the tool "wipefs" would remove the extra bits that fdisk and mkfs were missing, and then only the formatted partition would show up.
At the same time, my USB disks will many times not be recognized as "removable" or whatever it is in TDE that causes them to show up as an icon on the desktop, but they're still mounted with a Konqueror instance opening up to display the contents. I then use the command line to "umount /dev/sdf1" when I'm done.
All that above has been on Debian Jessie, the previous Stable.
However, I just did a clean install of TDE on the latest Debian, Stretch, and now I'm getting the same symptoms as you are. Two desktop icons, two Konqueror windows open, one of which has the error.
I'm sure systemd is at fault somehow.
