Hi everyone,
Since I do a normal update, I can't mount my flash drive from
nautilus. It works before.
The error message is:
Unable to mount [device]
Not Authorized
But if I manually mount using "sudo mount ...", it works fine.
I found this post,
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/02/msg01022.html, but I can't
go back to the previous version of consolekit because of dependencies.
And I still don't understand the problem.
I'm using debian testing.
Could anyone provide any advice? Thanks.
I had a similar problem with my Seagate 500GB external flash drive after
a fresh installation to testing/ wheezy. The trick seemed to be to
create a specific directory in /media/ for it to be mounted to:
sudo mkdir /media/flash-drive
Then edit your fstab file so that the device is specifically mounted to
that directory/ mount point.
I also changed the settings for that entry to be "auto" rather than
"noauto".
Finally, make sure that you have entered yourself as user into the
relevant groups - such as udev and hal and that you have permissions to
mount removable drives.
I'm sorry that I don't have a clear recipe for this, but am retracing my
own steps to resolve the issue and it did work - I now have the flash
drive mounted by the time I logon.
I hope that this helps you out.
