|
|
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? |

the usual way:
have you Code: | emerge polkit consolekit udisks
rc-update add consolekit default |
Code: | emerge --info | grep -i policykit | if not present add it _________________ Defund the FCC. |

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. |
