Kubuntu 16.04 - unable to mount USB disk
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP up vote

I'm using Kubuntu 16.04 with Plasma 5.8.9.
I'm trying to connect an USB external drive with an ext4 file system but if I try to mount it through KDE's "Device Notifier" I get an error message saying:
"You are not authorised to access this device"
If I mount the partition from console with:
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /some/mount/point
it works.
Recently I've configured autofs to mount a SMB partition from a remote NAS to a folder in my home directory, don't know if it might be the cause of the problem.
I've removed autofs package to exclude any involvement and rebooted, but it still doesn't work.
I've added my user to the group "dev/sdb1" belongs to, that is "disk" but still cannot access the device.
Any idea on how I can find out what is going on?
