[SOLVED] KDE: usb automount puzzle

Hi,

I've got two Arch KDE boxes. One of them runs fine, on another I can mount any usb device no longer.

 $ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 04e8:342c Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd 
Bus 002 Device 010: ID 13fe:3e00 Kingston Technology Company Inc. Flash Drive ; <<<<<<<<-------------------------<<
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 093a:2510 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Optical Mouse
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
$ sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 232.9 GiB, 250059350016 bytes, 488397168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Device    Boot     Start       End    Blocks  Id System

/dev/sda2         206848 488394751 244093952   7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT


Disk /dev/sdb: 298.1 GiB, 320072933376 bytes, 625142448 sectors

Disk identifier: 0x000beff2

Device    Boot     Start       End    Blocks  Id System
/dev/sdb1             63   1050623    525280+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb2 *      1050624  69818367  34383872  83 Linux
/dev/sdb3       69818490 625137344 277659427+ 83 Linux

$ 

lsusb shows the stick, fdisk shows no device, if I read it correctly. Since the trouble is endemic to just one box, the trouble must be some cryptic extra bit(s) of software, accumulated over unknown period. It's the only idea that occurred to me so far, that is. What can I do to locate the troublemaker?

It's just a very stupid idea, but did you reboot after the last kernel update?

Thanks, that's it! With Linux, one gets unused to rebooting just in case.
