USB Drives Give Malformed URL From Device Notifier

[claydoh]

Hello.
This is the report in launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...d/+bug/1762163

I made the report on 2018-04-08. I was surprised that no one was added as affected by the problem. Has Kubuntu significantly reduced the number of users in recent years?. I've been using Kubuntu 14.04 until a few months ago, but I was having problems by keeping libraries updated in 14.04.
(sorry for my English)

It may not be affecting everyone, and many probably have already updated to Plasma 5.12.5 via the kubuntu updates ppa

For anyone experiencing this issue, if and/or when kubuntu updates from 5.12.4 to 5.12.5 the malformed url issue will probably be corrected. Had the identical issue on systems running Arch/KDE and KDE Neon and when they updated to 5.12.5 the issue went away.

I noticed that when I was running a LiveUSB, but not after I installed it. ?
(Slipped my mind when I posted my experiences with Bionic. I know, I know, slipping my mind is easy to do these days!)

I don't know if others have run into this problem but it is known upstream bug:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391381

Essentially, when I plug in a usb flash drive or hard drive the device notifier pops up. When you click on the option to open with file manager, instead of opening in dolphin a box with an error message comes up stating "Malformed URL". However, if you open dolphin, there is an entry for the drive and the drive is mounted and accessible.
