control: tags -1 pending Hi, I committed and uploaded this new file a few seconds ago.
I don't think the end user should have privileges to mount/unmount disks, so I gave up in making a polkit file for everybody. I thought about configuring it, but I don't see how I can do that. Thanks for now for the README.Debian file, and let me know if you have another solution, I'll happily review it again!

Hi Gianfranco, This is the same patch as I posted earlier in https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie/issues/111 Consider creating a README.Debian with this content. Please feel free to make modifications as you think appropriate. Or I can make modifications if you want. Regards, Faheem ######################################################################## Note that by default not all udiskie actions may be allowed. You may see an error like: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.NotAuthorizedCanObtain: Not authorized to perform operation That error means you need to give udiskie addition permissions to perform whatever actions are necessary. These permissions are governed by policykit (package `policykit-1` in Debian), Here is an example. If you run `udiskie-mount` and/or `udiskie-umount` inside a user cron job, you will need to grant your user additional permissions for the policykit actions as follows: 1) `org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-other-seat` for when nobody is logged in and 2) `org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount` when somebody is logged into the system in an active session. To grant these permissions, you can (for example) create a file called `/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-udiskie.pkla` containing the following: ``` [udisks2] Identity=unix-group:plugdev Action=org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-other-seat;org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount ResultAny=yes ``` This gives the necessary permissions to all users in the `plugdev` group. If you wish to only give permissions to a single user, you can replace the first line with ``` Identity=unix-group:plugdev ``` Note additionally that the policykit version in Debian (for jessie and later) is 105. The Javascript syntax you will see for Policykit is for versions 106 and later. The `*.pkla` suffix and the corresponding syntax is only used for policykit 105 and earlier.
