I do not have a `kiod` process on my system:
```
❯ ^ps aux | rg -i kio
2156 USER 0:00 {.kioslave5-wrap}

```
And neither `lsof` nor `fuser` find a process that has the USB device opened:
```

❯ sudo lsof /dev/bus/usb/009/002
❯ sudo fuser /dev/libmtp-9-1
❯ sudo fuser /dev/bus/usb/009/002
```
I am on NixOS 23.05.20230721.6da4bc6:
```
Operating System: NixOS 23.05

Do you have another idea how I could unblock the USB device?

Whenever I plug the phone in and select file transfer (i.e. MTP) on the phone, KDE / Dolphin grab it and it results 'busy' to any other application trying to use it. Also there's no 'unmount' / release option. The only work-around I've found is, as reported by other users, to kill kiod5 and then after that run aft-mtp-mount I think it would be great to have either an interface to 'release' a device or maybe have an option in the Removable devices systems setting for this.

I do not use KIO MTP at all. But I use MTP with other applications a lot, so it would be cumbersome to always click the "release" action before I can use MTP in other applications.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412257 --- Comment #13 from Oswald Buddenhagen --- it should be obvious that kde locking out other frameworks from accessing mtp devices by its mere presence is not acceptable, and deferring to a pipe dream solution just doesn't cut it. so kde needs to a) claim the device lazily (e.g., the file dialog doesn't really need it to merely show the device's presence) and b) release it eagerly.

Plasma itself will already trigger the device opening, this isn't particularly related to dolphin. Any file IO application (which is the majority of general purpose KDE apps really - anything with a file open dialog) can ultimately talk to MTP. It's a bit unfortunate that this happens without you even opening anything but from what I can tell changing that is way too complicated for what we gain. Specifically since we already have problems with caching another level of asynchronicity would only serve as an additional source for bugs I fear :( -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

MTP is a single-access - this I did not know. Interesting. You can either access it through KIO or another app - that's fine. I only need access to one app at a time. expect to happen - As it is only accesses one protocol at a time then I would like it to recognise that another protocol has been launched, shut down the current process and then automatically switch to the new process. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Thanks to user "arkonbob" at reddit for bringing up this solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/mvrtck/restarting_kiod/ I am using Debian 11 (Bullseye): * KDE Frameworks 5.78.0 * Qt 5.15.2 - Another workaround is to switch to a runlevel without graphical desktop. This stops KDE and KIOD. (In my case I want to run some scripts to backup the data on my mobile phone, so I don't need a graphical desktop while these scripts are running.) I you use systemd, you can do the following: * log out from KDE session * go to console (e.g. CTRL + ALT + F2) * log in at the console as root * switch the runlevel: # systemctl isolate multi-user.target * mount your mobile phone via "jmtpfs" * run your backup-scripts (or whatever you wanted to do) * unmount jmtpfs * switch back to normal runlevel: # systemctl isolate graphical.target * log out from console * go back to graphical session with CTRL + ALT + F7 But this is very cumbersome and you have to close all your running graphical programs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
