Backport automount fix into Bionic
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

A major bug causing automounting removable devices in Plasma to not work properly was just fixed upstream today:

The first half of the fix wound up in Plasma 5.45, and the other half in KDE Frameworks 5.46 (t couldn't go into 5.45 because it depends on the Plasma patch, and the next version of Plasma is being released after 5.45 is scheduled to land).

It would be really bad to ship Bionic with this bug, so since we're not planning to ship with Frameworks 5.46, we should backport that part of the fix: https://cgit.kde.org/solid.git/commit/?id=122a6cd8989a4bd3096fddea908a1c2b223be62a

If we end up shipping with 5.12.4 instead of 5.12.5, then we will additionally need to backport the other half of the fix: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-desktop.git/commit/?id=8dedbcdf4197eccd5e06c18a66a63d15615c8171 into plasma-desktop

Not even certain frameworks 5.45 is shipping yet. Considering it would require a FFE for 78 packages, and is not released until 5 days before final freeze.

By my rough calculations, Plasma 5.45 will be released in 2029.

You initial post sorta implies there are 3 patches required, but I can only find 2.

Clearly a typo, but in what regard?

If you meant FW 5.45, then we already have FW 5.44, and I do not see a relevant patch in solid 5.45. So maybe there is no patch to take there except the one scheduled for 5.46?

If so, then that would indeed just leave the 2 you linked to.

I'm so sorry, clearly late night work is not good for clarity.

It should be:

Fix didn't work. Nothing to do here.
