4.2G is quite a bit of data...

Can you post a screenshot of the Disks section of the TDE hardware control center module, along with the portion of the output of 'fdisk -l' which pertains to your flash drive?

Thanks!

Error dialog accessing desktop icon

fdisk -l:

I wiped the device and assigned a new msdos partition table. I again ran dd to copy the iso image. I don't know how but I ended up with two partitions, same as before.

One of the screenshots is an error dialog from when I selected one of the desktop icons. Konqueror opened normally when I selected the other desktop icon.

In the Mate desktop running on Fedora 21, only one icon and dialog appears. Only one device appears in the Caja file manager device list. On that system fdisk shows two partitions but identified as sdb1/2 rather than sde1p1/p2. Could be a systemd difference or a newer fdisk package in Fedora.

On Mate which of the two partitions is displayed?

I have never seen a partition of Type 0 before; my guess is Mate is hiding that one.

The partition with the ISO.

So /dev/sdb2 is hidden then?

>So /dev/sdb2 is hidden then?
I don't know whether the 2nd partition is "hidden" but the 2nd partition is not mountable in either desktop. Both file managers mount the 1st partition, which is the ISO image.

Trying to Safely Remove the desktop icon for the 1st partition does nothing. The icon always remains. The 2nd desktop icon for the 2nd partition responds as expected to Safely Remove and disappears.

Looks like I was only able to partially fix this for R14.0.0 due to the timing of the report vs. R14.0.0 release; reassigning for next SRU.

While the commit in GIT hash 08d4e306 (tdebase) appears to have resolved the popup dialog issue, two problems remain:
1.) When loaded in Konqueror the media:/ tdeioslave ignores the Mountable flag of the TDEHW library and displays all devices regardless of mountability.
2.) The TDEHW library does not detect any mountable partitions on the disk to which the DVD image was written.  This *may* be related to GIT hash 08d4e306.

Uhm... looks like p2 is overlapping p1. Never seen this before.

Yesterday I copied an ISO image with dd and again saw the duplicate desktop icons. The specific ISO image was Fedora-Live-MATE_Compiz-x86_64-22-3.iso, 1.2 GB, from the Fedora spins:

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Live/x86_64/Fedora-Live-MATE_Compiz-x86_64-22-3.iso

I used cfdisk to wipe existing partitions from a PNY 8 GB USB flash drive. Then I used the following command:

dd if=Fedora-Live-MATE_Compiz-x86_64-22-3.iso of=/dev/sde

The resulting fdisk -l /dev/sde output:

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sde1   *           0     2527231     1263616    0  Empty
/dev/sde2             172       10307        5068   ef  EFI (FAT-12/16/32)
/dev/sde3           10388       50963       20288    0  Empty

Starting gparted with the USB drive attached results in the following dialog:

Warning: /dev/sde contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table.
However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should.
Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT
partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an
msdos partition table. Is this a GPT partition table?

Inserting the PNY USB drive into a MATE system results in only one desktop icon.

In Opensuse Leap 42.2, I have the same problem with any kind of USB device (2 GB flash drive, 2 GB SDHC card) with DOS partition table: two notification windows pop up and two flash drive icons appear on my desktop with the text "1.9 GB Removable Media". The second icon (its green arrow indicates that it is mounted) and the second notification window (with title "TDE Daemon <2>") work as expected, but clicking any of the first ones results in a message box containing "Unable to mount this device ... ... org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem' on object at path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdg".
The relevant extract from the output of 'mount':
/dev/sdg1 on /run/media/tom/570C-99E2 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=500,gid=100,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=lower,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2).

The output of fdisk -l /dev/sdg:
Disk /dev/sdg: 1.9 GiB, 2048901120 bytes, 4001760 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Finally, after a successful "Safely Remove", the first icon stays on the desktop with the altered text "0B Removable Device", only to disappear after a logout.

(In reply to Tom Lang from comment #14)
In my previous posting, I have forgotten to emphasize the fact that this phenomenon does NOT occur with Opensuse Leap 42.1, it works perfectly there.

It appears this may have the same root problem as mentioned at the end of bug 2780 comment 53 that applies to openSUSE 15.0 (two dialogs; desktop icons I pay no mind to so don't know about). I was going to open a new report for it until I found this.

Fixed by commit dfe3c964 (master) and 9ce98047 (r14.0.x).
