Hi
I have a dell inspiron 5575 with Tumbleweed dual booting with W10. If I insert a usb drive (flash drive) Dolphin simply doesnot recognizes it, does not detect it. I’m sure the ports work fine because in W10 I donot have any problem. Can you help me? Thanks
Does the drive show up as a device?
When I plug in a flash drive, I usually do:
ls -ld /dev/sd?
(this does not require root).
I run that command before plugging in the drive, and again after plugging it in. And I normally see extra device (an additional line of output) after plugging in. And the time/date for that additional device is about when I plugged it in.
If it shows up that way, you can try mounting with the mount command (that does require root).
I find that some drives are not recognized by desktop software (such as Dolphin). I’m not sure why, but it has something to do with the partitioning/formatting of that drive. For example, when I write the DVD installer iso to a flash drive, desktop software does not recognize that. But it still shows up as a device.
When inserting the USB stick Device Notifier pops up and offers several actions to perform, one of these being “Open with File Manager”. Choosing that options will invoke Dolphin.
That’s clearly not happening for the OP, and even if the notifier is ignored it should be enumerated in the ‘Devices’ panel. As Neil has already suggested, best to start by seeing if the device node is present first and work from there.
I am not so sure about users. Having installed Tumbleweed on several machines I get some support calls:
User: I can’t create anymore new folders! [in dolphin]
Me: use right click > New > Folder or use F10
User: yes, that works, great!
User (one week later): Again, I can’t create new folders! F10 doesn’t work anymore!
Me: It works on my installation.
User: No, it doesn’t.
Me: What are you doing? Are you sure?
User: Yes I am! I hit F10 and nothing happens!!!
Me: Not so fast. Click Application Launcher > Select Dolphin > Hit F10
User: Yes, that works indeed!
Given lots of discussions as the above one I got skeptical about what users are actually doing.
BTW:
erlangen:~ # journalctl -f _KERNEL_SUBSYSTEM=usb

As already mentioned, let’s see if the device is enumerated first…and yes we can look at the kernel messaging for helping that (via journalctl or dmesg)…
dmesg -w
Before plugging the flash drive:
~$ ls -ld /dev/sd?
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 jun 13 08:12 /dev/sda
After plugging 2 flash drives:
~$ ls -ld /dev/sd?
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 jun 13 08:12 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 jun 13 11:45 /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 jun 13 11:45 /dev/sdc
If it shows up that way, you can try mounting with the mount command (that does require root).
Yes, I can mount it to a specific file:
# mount /dev/sdb /home/antonio/usb
and can read its content. The problem is, as mentioned by karlmistelberger;
“When inserting the USB stick Device Notifier pops up and offers several actions to perform, one of these being “Open with File Manager”. Choosing that options will invoke Dolphin”
that, whenever the drop-down menu appears, and I select to open using Dolphin, I obtain: opens_file_instead_of_dolphin.png - Google Drive
Hope this information helps
Thank you
Hi. I thank you for your reply
The output was extremely too long (the system did not allow me to copy all of it), so I included the lines where ‘usb’ appeared but, please, tell me if I need to copy other lines

When I try that, google gives me a login page. That does not look right to me, unless google has changed something.
So I tried on a browser where I am logged into google, and it told me that I don’t have access to that file.
Same for me. @jazamiel: Please use https://paste.opensuse.org/ to share text or images. Then share the URL to the page here.
Hope this new link works: SUSE Paste
Thank you
Yes, that works. I can see you’re using GVIM. Wasn’t this about KDE Notifier and Dolphin though?
Are you trying to say that ‘Open with File Manager’ causes another file manager (eg GVIM) to open instead? If so, you can set the preferred file manager in KDE System Settings > Personalisation > Applications
If not, please clarify further.
Check your defaults: System Settings > Applications > Default Applications > File Manager > Dolphin.
Yep, as I also just posted. 
Solved!
Many thanks for your support.
Saludos 
As you now know this was never about mounting a flash drive, but good to know you’ve managed to get the preferred file manager working for you again.
