    Mine doesn't show up on the KDE desktop either, but I can browse devices
    using the file browser and see /dev/sda1 from there. Double clicking on
    it brings it up. Not as nice, but doable. Can you even do this?

    That happens when you copy files to a device that is not mounted. They
    simply end up under the mount point. What some people do is create a
    file under the mount point called "if you see this the device is not
    mounted" or similar.

    If the storage device mounts properly, that text is not visible. When
    the device is not mounted, you see that text file. Could be handy?
