Problem:
After the latest updates, storage devices are not properly detected.
1) gnome-disk-utility will not recognize any storage device, including the device the OS is running on.
Any additional storage device connected is not detected by gnome-disk-utility.
2) Dolphin, Nemo, and Thunar do not recognize any new storage devices plugged in.
3) In Plasma, "Disks and Devices" shows "No removable devices attached" when there are devices present.
4) lsblk -f does detect and shows all attached devices.
Tested devices & Operating Systems:
This has been tested and displayed the above symptoms on the following:
1) RPi 5 with Plasma running on a USB SSD and linux-rpi-16k-6.12.32-1
2) RPi 5 with XFCE running on a micro SD card and linux-rpi-16k-6.12.32-1
3) RPi 4b with Cinnamon running on a USB SSD and linux-rpi-6.12.32-1
4) Odroid N2+ with Plasma running on a USB SSD and linux-aarch64
I hope this is enough clues to lead someone to a solution because I have no idea.
Maybe linux-firmware ??
