Trying to mount a USB stick cause black screen in KDE
by gargamel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MKFC)
Hi everyone,
I just ran into an issue on my Slackware64-current system, wondering if anyone else has the same problem.
When I insert a USB stick and click to open or mount it in KDE (either in Dolphin "Places" or in the toolbar) the screen goes black, the toolbar disappears and two or four windows with a less than helpful error message pop up. I can close those windows, but the only way to quit the KDE session I found so far is to drop back to a terminal using Ctrl-Alt-F1 and kill the X/Wayland session from there.
I tried it with four different USB sticks on four different USB ports, all of which had been working just fine in any combination a short while ago. However, as I haven't used USB sticks in the last few weeks, I cannot say, which of the recent updates to Slackware64-current introduced the issue, here.
So my question is: Has anyone else similar problems?
Thanks and best regards
