I tried switching to "easy", but after a SuSEconfig --module permissions and logging out/in, the situation was unchanged. At a glance, it doesn't appear as if there's any difference in the dbus or PolicyKit stuff between /etc/permissions.{secure,easy}; it's all identically setuid/setgid either way. -- 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.

First I tried KDE 4 (nothing to work with) then I installed KDE3. The behavior ( in runlevel 3) is the same, but: As long as I boot up to runlevel 5, the usb-stick will be mounted. Booting up to runlevel 3 and starting KDE with "startx", it will not be mounted. Did you find the same effect? -- 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.

Comment #5, was very helpful ( thanks to Henryk). I changed the following definitions in /var/lib/PolicyKit-public: "org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable.defaults-override" from "auth_admin_keep_always:auth_admin_keep_always:yes" to "auth_admin_keep_always:yes:yes" This made the usb sticks, fd0,fd1, dvd work also in runlevel 3. Changing the file "org.opensuse.smpppd.connect.defaults-override" to "auth_admin_keep_always:yes:yes" enabled also the dsl - connection. I've done nothing in /usr/share/PolicyKit/* . The files in /var/lib/PolicyKit-public never changed and I've booted a lot. If these files will be changed, maybe a test will be useful,using Yast, setting /etc/sysconfig -> system ->Security->Permissions->PERMISSION_SECURITY to "easy local". That's what is set in my system. BTW: Some time ago, I've installed opensuse 10.3 on a Intel 32-Bit computer and found problems with runlevel 3 . Therefore I skipped 10.3 and returned to 10.2. Now, on the same computer with 11.0 : same behavior. -> It seems to be an old runlevel / configuration problem, starting with opensuse 10.3 -> It looks like being independent from 32/64 Bit, because this time, I am working at a 64-bit AMD dual core system. -> It also doesn't look like a KDE3 special problem, because I've found a similar behavior at KDE 4 on this ( x86_64 ) computer. => This seems to be an old bug, but until now not fixed. -- 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.

Now, I have the same problem as in January: Booting to runlevel 3 and then "startx" : no sound, no usb-mount, no dvd-mount Booting up to runlevel 5: all works I am not shure, I have to check if it is the same problem, but I have the impression that the scanner also is affected. I think, that the name of this bug "Automounting of USB media fails in KDE3" does not describe the importance of this problem, because it is much more: "wrong permissions for devices, if starting X from runlevel 3" This is a old, known problem, since 10.3 see: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/alt.os.linux.suse/2007-11/msg00627.htm... I believe, that bugs should be fixed for starting a new version, therefore ( -> 11.0 -> 11.1 ) I think, we should set the importance at least to medium. -- 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.
