[Regression] Solid shows LUKS partitions as removable disks

[Thilo-Alexander Ginkel]

Since upgrading from KDE 4.7.2 to 4.7.3 the Device Notifier widget detects some of my fixed hard disk partitions (located below /dev/mapper/ as they are LUKS devices) as removable disks (although they show up with hard disk icons) and will automount them and show them in the device list.

I have already filed an upstream bug for this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285927

The problematic commit is: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/repository/diff/solid?rev=e1b3ce8115795e85f13b16011634cad3f8ee1e28&rev_to=d79b9c1d87f27ded12b1c7a46b77032a03c1070b

I'd appreciate if this could be reverted for Kubuntu before 4.7.3 reaches oneiric-updates.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thanks for reporting this. Looking at the upstream bug this still happens with 4.7.4?

[Thilo-Alexander Ginkel (thilo.ginkel)]

Yes, this still affects 4.7.4. The respective change can be cleanly
reversed, though.

Just upgraded to KDE 4.8.0, which solves the problem.
