Package: policykit Version: 0.9-3 Severity: normal Today I was suddenly unable to mount a removable USB drive (a digital camera) in KDE4, something that used to work before. In between I have updated a bunch of packages, notably from KDE 4.2.1 to 4.2.2, so maybe it's related to this.
The device shows up in the plugged devices widget, but selecting the drive's icon in Dolphin gives a message about PermissionDenied for the action "org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable". Some web searches turned up a workaround, I added the following rule PolicyKit.conf and it started working: <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable"> <return result="yes" /> </match> I think this should work out of the box. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-melech (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages policykit depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii consolekit 0.3.0-2 framework for defining and trackin ii dbus 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.80-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.0-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libpam0g 1.0.1-9 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpolkit-dbus2 0.9-3 library for accessing PolicyKit vi ii libpolkit-grant2 0.9-3 library for obtaining privileges v ii libpolkit2 0.9-3 library for accessing PolicyKit policykit recommends no packages.
