[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#731041: plasma-widgets-workspace: device notifier reacts to inserted removable medias only after action on it.

[Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer]

reassign 731041 udisks2
thanks

udisks2 maintainers: the following bug seems to generate from udisks2, as KDE 
relies on it for device discovery.

As the submitter commented, this might be related to #725978, feel free to 
merge/reassign as appropriate.

Eric: thanks for the triaging, I have now reassigned the bug to udisks2.

Without us [Free Software developers], people would study computer science
and programming without ever having seen a real program in its entirety.
That's like becoming writers without ever having read a complete book.
