 Posted: Sat Feb 13, 2016 9:01 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] KDE Plasma 5 - problem with mount - polkit? |
 |
|
Hi,
After an update into Plasma 5 I cannot mount eg. sd-card in my card reader
| Quote: | | Could not mount the following device... |
before that I had a question for a root password and I could use it.
5 years ago I had similair problem and the sollution was to manually set the file:
| Code: | | /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy |
Before I will do the same I have a question - is it possible to fix it in different way?

| Please check your consolekit setup. Please check if you are part of the users group. |

I am part of users group and I have consolekit:
| Code: | # equery u consolekit
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for sys-auth/consolekit-1.0.1:
U I
+ + acl : Add support for Access Control Lists
- - cgroups : Use the kernel to track processes instead of the session cookie.
- - debug : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
- - doc : Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
+ + pam : Add support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) - DANGEROUS to arbitrarily flip
- - pm-utils : Adds support for suspend/resume using sys-power/pm-utils
- - test : Workaround to pull in packages needed to run with FEATURES=test. Portage-2.1.2 handles this internally, so don't set it
in make.conf/package.use anymore
|
Maybe somewhere in KDE System Settings >> Device Actions? |

active = FALSE in my case, but what does it mean? And why this used to work in KDE4?
| Code: | $ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
unix-user = '500'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ''
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2016-02-14T05:38:40.438954Z'
login-session-id = '2'

How exactly did that happen? upower and upower-pm-utils block each other. |

I was missing sys-power/upower-pm-utils when I was writing this, so I thought it is necessary...
Just realized is OR not AND:
| Quote: | | Please ensure that kde-plasma/powerdevil and sys-power/upower-pm-utils or sys-power/upower are installed. Also ensure that your user belongs to the users group. |
p.s. I can see now some of the rules form

are here:
| Code: | | /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy |
Maybe Palsma 5 do not use udisk2.policy only udisk.policy?

Did you get this working? I'm also sitting with same problem of "could not mount" USB memory sticks after upgrading to Plasma 5.
Thanks, Ian

+1, Bump, etc.
I, too, can't mount USB sticks from Plasma (after upgrading from KDE 4). Mounting as root with the `mount` command isn't a problem, but it would be nicer to be able to "just mount" from Plasma/KDE 5 when the Device Notifier comes up after plugging it in. |

| Did you follow Gentoo's upgrade guide for Plasma-5? Had a look in its troubleshooting section already? Check any of those things above? |

I've looked over both of:
* https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE/Plasma_5_upgrade
* https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ConsoleKit#Troubleshooting
and to my knowledge, I've followed whatever steps and changes seemed necessary. I am fully up-to-date as far as `emerge -uatvDN world` and `emerge --depclean` are concerned.
I'm using sddm, so I didn't think the `startx` related stuff on those docs applied.
/var/log/messages and dmesg are silent while I try to mount from the Plasma device notifier. |

I don't know why there are two ... I found other people with this problem had the same situation (google search previously).

I wasn't, but even after adding myself to that group, and restarting Plasma, and restarting consolkit, it doesn't make a difference. |

After adding myself to plugdev, I have rebooted, and tried to plug in a USB stick.
The device notifier detects it and offers to open, but when I click open, it tells me (hidden in the expandable bit at the bottom of the dialogue) that
"An unspecified error has occurred. Not authorized to perform operation."

I have the same problem
I came across this on another forum
| Quote: | When the pop-up notification comes up that says a device has been
plugged in, did you click on the checkmark on that notification? If you
click the device itself, you will get "permission denied". If you click
the checkmark, it work fine. |
so when I click on the check mark I get a popup that asks me for my password and then it mounts the device.
I don't know if this will help anybody. |

I solved the problem [for my system]!
Researching on the net, I cobbled together this solution:
Create the file /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/55-storage.pkla (the directory tree should already exist), and put this into it:
| Code: | [Storage Permissions]
Identity=unix-group:plugdev
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount
ResultAny=yes
ResultActive=yes
ResultInactive=no |
where the value of "Action" matches the error you see when trying to manually mount with a command like:
| Code: | | udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdg1 |
Same results if you make this file instead:
| Code: | # /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-udisks.rules
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount" && subject.isInGroup("plugdev")) {
return "yes";
}
});

Sweet lord, what were the KDE devs thinking? This is bloody obtuse.
Confirmed working here : click the "tick", and THEN click the "device" ... it showed a small map of available space and space used on the device.
I did not get asked for my password. Possibly the whole "plugdev" thing affects that, but I never got asked in KDE4 either.
This is not a very obvious user interface change.... they should at least put a hover dialogue over the tick, and another over the rest of the field, telling what to do. And fix that useless error message.
Thanks a mill.
Cheers, Ian
