Before this hack I mounted it in a terminal as root. At the moment I have no access to this machine but I will let you know what above command will print out. It's a vanilla opensuse netinstall and the only thing which is different is that I use XFCE not KDE or Gnome. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

See above it was reported with xfce. I have just installed from opensuse11.1 dvd using xfce desktop option and have the same issue. The c/no/yes/ hack suggested by OP did no change anything neither after rchal restart nor after reboot. /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.hal.storage.policy It still shows an error message indicating it is reading a value of "no" for this. The above file does not seem to be beind read. using polkit-auth worked once but after adding the equivalent for eject it opens an emply filemanager window and the contents are not seen. I am disappointed to see a release goes out this this sort mess on a major feature. Seems like getting out for Christmas is more important than getting it working. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The changes proposed in the description of this bug fixed the problem for me too, but since I use an external esata hdd that is considered internal I also had to change <action id="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed"> => no to yes => auth_admin_keep_always to yes PERMISSION_SECURITY is easy, local in /etc/sysconfig/security, so I think this bug could be easily fixed for most users by setting the values as proposed in the description and in my comment (see above) by default for this security level. This should work perfectly for normal end users. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
