** Description changed: Please note that I found an identical bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdelibs/+bug/98751. However due to the fact that it remains unresolved, and is for a different version of the bug (the beta release of Feisty apparently) I am not sure whether I should comment there. Add to that the fact that I can't figure out how to resolve which package is in error here since it involves dbus, hal, konqueror and a few libraries, I am unwilling to commit it there. After upgrading to Feisty I can no longer mount external USB hard drives. Note that I can mount flash based media with no problems -- they still behave as before. Upon plugging in a USB drive, the KDE dialog pops up asking me what I'd like to do. When I click 'Open in a new window' nothing happens. Attempts to mount it via Konqueror's storage media view are futile as well. However, attempts to mount the drive manually are successful. If I navigate to the 'Storage Media' screen in Konqueror, and attempt to access the drive (it appears there, unmounted) I receive this error message: `hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000` + I get this error with all four of my USB drives. + Below, I have included the /var/log/messages output.
