New Linux user, 15 days, coming from Windows 7 and after some distribution tasting, I felt at home with Manjaro (KDE version).
My problem is with KDE ‘disks and devices’ applet. When I insert a usb disk in a new session, it is detected by ‘Device Notifier’ which offers the option to mount it. So far so good! However, after I have unmounted the usb disk, ‘Device Notifier’ will not detect any usb disks that I connect to pc. I would then have to log-out and back in for it to see the drive.
My current workaround is to Mount/Unmount usb disks from ‘Dolphin’ file manager but I am worried that this may not be recommended practice since there is a specific app for this task.
Any help towards resolving this issue will be appreciated!
ps: Since this my first post here, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to the developers of Manjaro!
Well, I am aware of that option in ‘System Settings’, however it seems like another workaround in my case, since I don’t really want ‘automatic mounting’. Thank you for your help.
