In a lot of other distros if you put a flashdrive in the user can mount it from nautilus in gnome. Here it shows up in gnome, but when clicked in nautilus it gives me an "Unable to mount X, Not authorized" message.

I know I could edit the fstab file, or manually mount it as root from the command line, but I would like to be able to put in as many USB flashdrives/harddisks and have it mount them automatically.

The user is in the disk, wheel, cdrom, usb, and users group.

Any help?

Code:
 emerge polkit consolekit udisks
rc-update add consolekit default


Code:
emerge --info | grep -i policykit
if not present add it

Didn't work for me.

Originally I got around it with my fstab looking like this. (Yes I know it's stupid)

Code:
/dev/sdc1                /media/USBHD    auto            noauto,user  0 0
/dev/sdc2                /media/USBHD2    auto            noauto,user  0 0
/dev/sdc3                /media/USBHD3    auto            noauto,user  0 0
/dev/sdd1                /media/USBHD4    auto            noauto,user  0 0
/dev/sdd2                /media/USBHD5    auto            noauto,user  0 0
/dev/sdd3                /media/USBHD6    auto            noauto,user  0 0
/dev/sde1                /media/USBHD7    auto            noauto,user  0 0
/dev/sde2                /media/USBHD8    auto            noauto,user  0 0
/dev/sde3                /media/USBHD9    auto            noauto,user  0 0
/dev/sdf1                /media/USBHD10    auto            noauto,user  0 0
/dev/sdf2                /media/USBHD11    auto            noauto,user  0 0
/dev/sdf3                /media/USBHD12    auto            noauto,user  0 0


But changing my ~.xinitrc

exec openbox-session

to

exec ck-launch-session openbox-session

Worked better and let me unmount too.
