Help with Device Auto-Mount (lemmy.ml)

I am trying to use the Device Auto-Mount feature in KDE Settings but it doesn't seem to be having any effect. I have selected On Login and On Attach for the drives I'm interested in, but after rebooting they aren't auto-mounted.

If I click on them in Dolphin I am prompted for my user password and then they get mounted.

Anyone know what might be going on or where I should look?

I couldn't see any obvious errors in journalctl
drives are not encrypted.
running AuroraOS

and yes I know that I can set this up with fstab, but it would be good to understand why the GUI approach isn't working and hopefully fix it.

I used this guide from Bazzite, so far no issues

Yep the guide modifies fstab which works. The KDE Device Auto-Mount works fine on regular Fedora, so it is probably just incompatible with Atomic/Immutable. I'll open a bug with KDE
