Title: ConsoleKit does not play nicely with multiseat configurations, resulting in failure to mount usb devices (pen drives) Status in ConsoleKit: Confirmed Status in consolekit package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in consolekit package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: hal This is a machine that was upgraded (six months ago) from 7.04 to 7.10 and not to 8.04 beta. When I plug in an USB device hal doesn't mount it. This happens with more than one device (tried U3 MP3 player and a small card reader). The same devices work well in my laptop that is also running hardy. Looking at the output of hald --daemon=no I get something like: using action org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable for uid 1000, system_bus_connection :1.123 pid 8027: rc=1 signaled=0: /usr/lib/hal/hal-storage-mount Run started hald-probe-storage (10000) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-storage', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' woohoo pid 8034: rc=2 signaled=0: /usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-storage In the laptop where everything works, I can see some extra lines just after the first above that says: passed privilege 3563: XYA creating /media/.hal-mtab~ 3563: XYA closing /media/.hal-mtab~ 3563: XYA done renaming /media/.hal-mtab~ /media/.hal-mtab 3563: XYA released lock on /media/.hal-mtab-lock I will attach the files described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices, maybe they can help.
