disks.git;a=commit;h=2164f8212a17a3f4ed08ca64411d3cbbec5594b9
** Changed in: devicekit-disks (Ubuntu)
Status: In Progress => Fix Committed
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: devicekit-disks
+ In Karmic, users are required to enter their password each time when
+ they want to mount a system-internal disk.
- $ cat /etc/lsb-release
- DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
- DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.10
- DISTRIB_CODENAME=karmic
- DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.10"
-
- 1. First of all the file isn't valid from "polkit-policy-file-validate" point
of view. But I believe the file is OK.
- $ polkit-policy-file-validate org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy
- org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy did not validate:
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy:62: parse error: parsing aborted
- ERROR: org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy did not validate
-
- 2. I'm not a guru but I believe that the following change should be done:
- <action id="org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-mount-system-internal">
- ...
- - <allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>
- + <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
-
- Otherwise I should enter password each time when I want to mount a local
- disk with ext4 filesystem...
+ In Jaunty and earlier it was possible to keep the policykit privilege
+ forever, but that has been rightfully abandoned in polkit-1 as bad
+ design. A better solution is to ship vendor specific policy extensions
+ (see man pklocalauthority).
