So they're not mounted?

Or are they listed when you run "df"

I don't remember whether they used to get auto-mounted when using a live iso, did/should they?

oops, need more coffee.... they wouldn't show up in the file manager if they weren't mounted, so something else is going on 

is this only in plasma5, or in gnome, too?

Comment 3 Marja Van Waes 2016-01-20 08:34:25 CET
and can you please look at the permissions where the devices are mounted.

e.g. if they all have a mountpoint in /run/user/live/, what is then the output of 

    ls -al /run/user/live/

this is from the installed "live plasma5 x86" system 

[live@localhost ~]$ ls -al /run/user/live/
ls: cannot access /run/user/live/: No such file or directory
[live@localhost ~]$ su -
[root@localhost ~]# ls -al /run/user/live/
ls: cannot access /run/user/live/: No such file or directory

Created attachment 7387 [details]
result of attempting to open a HDD file

this sequence is repeatable every time desktop is logged out and back in.
if no crash notifications appear in task bar / panel, the sequence can be restarted

curiously Amarok is able to access internal HDD music files,
However Dolphin and Dragon player are not able to access same HDD
Comment 11 Ben McMonagle 2016-02-29 10:39:14 CET
okular and gimp is also able to access internal HDDS
Gwenview is not - very odd
