Bug Description
Binary package hint: dolphin
I have an USB HDD with two partitions. The first one is formated with FAT32 (sdb1), the second one is encrypted with luks and formated with ext3 (sdb2). When I attach the disk, Dolphin shows two new devices:
* "nameOfFat32Par
* Volume (crypto_LUKS)
I have no problem accessing sdb1. And when I click on the sdb2 icon for the first time, Dolphin asks for the password. I enter it, the "mount symbol" appears on the icon, but I cannot access it. Whenever I click on this icon, Dolphin jumps back to the previous location. No error message, nothing.
I've noticed that the device has been decrypted correctly:
$ ls -l /dev/mapper
[...]
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 2 2009-03-28 14:48 luks_crypto_
And I can even mount this device manually:
$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/
$ ls /mnt
# The contents of the encrypted partition is shown
Note that this has worked in intrepid.

Strange... seems to work now. Maybe a recent update....? If there is no-one else with the same problem I think this can be closed.
