Description of problem: When a USB drive is plugged in the panel "Device Notifier" widget doesn't display a notification. The device is seen in dmesg and can be mounted manually. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.15.4-1.1.mga7 How reproducible: Consistant Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in 2. Plug USB drive into USB port 3.
This is generically simply not true. Using up-to-date Plasma, plugging in a USB external disc does indeed pop up a Device Notifier pane showing the disc and offering various possible actions/applications to open it with. [I could not get a screenshot of that, too fleeting]. It also adds a little icon in Systray, left-clicking which re-shows the original notification; right-clicking which offers Device Notifier options. Do you need to fiddle those? Is your system an upgrade from Mageia 6 to 7?

It has happened before, but resolved itself after an upgrade. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9315 The cause for some sticks not being recognized was never identified, and the drive that was not being recognized in Mageia 3 has been ok since Mageia 5.

It should be noted that this worked fine in all previous releases of Mageia on this system. It's purely a regression in Mageia 7.
The latest kernel update seems to have fixed this.
Closing the report. It can be reopened if necessary.
