What effect with dmesg - c have on the other usb stick? Do I need to pull that out too even though it mounts fine?

KDE Plasma
KDE uses the MTP KIO Slave with a similar level of integration as GVfs. This requires the kio-extras package to be installed. When a phone is connected and set to transfer files with MTP, KDE will open the Device Notifier and show an entry for it. From here, you can take actions such as opening it as a folder in Dolphin, or viewing the photos on your device through Gwenview.
