Thanks. I'm pretty much in the dark about what HAL, udisks, ConsoleKit, PolicyKit are. Apparently, HAL is now replaced with udisks to manage operations on hardware, while ConsoleKit and PolicyKit manage how non-root users are allowed to access priviledged processes (ConsoleKit = console-based access, PolicyKit = desktop-based access). FWIW, when I simply run "# /usr/libexec/polkitd", it says: =================== "Entering main event loop Connected to the system bus Registering null backend at priority -10 Error loading /var/run/ConsoleKit/database: Error statting file /var/run/ConsoleKit/database: No such file or directoryUsing authority class PolkitBackendLocalAuthority Acquired the name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1" =================== Do I also need ConsoleKit, or is udisks + polkit enough to double-click and access a partition? How do I configure PolicyKit so I'm allowed at least read access to NTFS/FAT32 partitions? Thank you. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
