I had this issue with my MachineKit images until I switched to lightdm instead of xdm. Lightdm is trusted by consolekit (no relation to MachineKit! :) and thus allows things like rebooting and user mounting of USB devices. I was running xfce4, however, so lxde might be different. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
