I installed Manjaro KDE edition a couple days ago. I opened Dolphin and in the Devices section I accessed a Windows drive from which I copied some files. The drive is protected by Bitlocker. Now whenever I log in I get the following dialog:

Disk password dialog

WDC WD30PURX-64P6ZY0 needs a password to be accessed. Please enter a password

How do I get rid of that prompt? What I tried so far:

  • I opened the drive and enabled showing hidden files to check if some utility is creating files there when unlocked. I didn't find anything, only some Microsoft directories ($RECYCLE.BIN, msdownld.tmp, System Volume Information)
  • I removed the drive from Dolphin's "Recent Locations" section. This turned out surprisingly hard to achieve, I ended up using the query from this thread, but it still didn't help.
  • I temporarily uninstalled Dolphin, logged out and back in

Open System Settings and go to Removable Storage → Removable Devices where the device should be listed, select it and use the Forget Device button to stop KDE from trying to mount it on login.

Note: The UI behaves a little bit strange for me, I had to disconnect the device first, uncheck the On Login and On Attach options for All Known Devices first to be able to use the Forget Device button.

  • Thank you, that's the screen I needed. I just ended up unchecking On Login and On Attach instead of clicking Forget Device.
