 I have an external hard disk and when I plug it into KDE arch I see the

 name of it, when I click on it , I see the disk spinning but I can't

 open the content of the disk. Sometimes, I see error like "Malformed

 URL" in a dialog box. However, I can use the disk completely fine on

 Arch GNOME and Windows. So I think it's my KDE setup which has some error.



Check if /run/media/yourusername/ is empty when not mounted. That is the
folder where KDE wants to mount the disk.
