Re: Error in mounting usb devices q4os Has a bug in accessing usb devices,

Can you describe the "error" or "bug" mentioned in the title?
The body of your message looks like to me as tutorial.

On my system (Gemini 4.7 Plasma) I get a popup each time I insert a removable media, letting me choose to mount it.
The corresponding icon in the tray allows me to open the same popup and to choose a media to un-mount too.
Never need to sudo mount nor sudo umount.

When I click on the application launcher (I call it the "Start" button) > System Configuration > Removable storage (last option) > Removable media (column on the right), there is a check box "Enable automatic mount of removable media" (these are approximate translations from French). But I have not yet tested this option.
