Firstly a hidden requirement to add users to a particular group merely to use a normal desktop system is not reasonable behavior. Secondly part of the bug report is that the error message is completely incomprehensible. I don't see any indication that this has been improved.

Bug#456156: cannot mount usb device; incomprehensible error message
In order for a user to mount devices from Konqueror/Nautilus (using HAL), they must be in the "plugdev" group. To add a user to the plugdev group, either use kuser or run the command as root: adduser someuser plugdev I've seen this detail trip up plenty of people before, and something will have to be done about it. After adding your user(s) to the "plugdev" group, you should restore /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf to its original state. If you don't have a backup copy, you can reinstall the "hal" package and instruct it to discard your changes. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Bug#456156: cannot mount usb device; incomprehensible error message
Package: konqueror Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch1 I inserted a USB stick. A window appeared with the following text: window title: KDE Daemon A new medium has been detected. What do you want to do? Medium type: Unmounted Removable Medium Open in New Window Do Nothing I selected 'Open in New Window'. A Konqueror window appears on 'system:/media/sda'; also an error message appears: window title: Error - Konqueror A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal") The Konqueror window remains open but is useless (attempting to e.g. create a file produces a similar message to the above). ttfn/rjk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
