Christian have you checked the Groups that the users are in? (Yast/Security and Users/User and Group Management) My users are in "cdrom" group.

Should be irrelevant. Check "getfacl /dev/DEVICE" - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Those seem correct. If your user is "tamas", you have the same as I have.

Yes, my username is tamas. I click on plugged device widget in KDE 4.2, it show the dvd and read its name. When I click on the name of the dvd, a window appears, I choose open with Dolphin, and the error message is org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy. org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable auth_admin_keep_always <-- (action.result) In /media the device isn't shown.

I'd sugest you try with another desktop, perhaps kde 3 if you have it, and/or gnome. If it works on the other desktop, it is a bug with kde4 you could report. If not, the problem is deeper. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I tried it under KDE 3.5 and it doesn't work. I don't have Gnome. It is weird. I can burn dvd, I can play video dvd started from removable storage applet, but I can't open a data dvd with Dolphin. If I'm correct, than my problem is mounting, but I'm not sure, and I don't know where to look after the cause. TIA.

I thought this bug already fixed in an update (see [0]) Try to update your installation first. If it doesn't work maybe [1] can help.

Hi, I looked the mentioned bug report. The patch is applied in my system. And my problem is different. I can burn dvd, I can play video dvd started from removable storage applet. But I can't open data dvd with Dolphin- I think my problem is, that I can't mount removable storage. I don't know where should I look after this problem. TIA.

Sorry to reply again. I looked about this message. org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable. It is in /etc/polkit-default-privs.standard (auth_admin_keep_always:auth_admin_keep_always:yes) and /etc/polkit-default-privs.restrictive (auth_admin_keep_always) I don't know what these arguments mean. I don't find where I can choose between standard and restrictive. I know about Yast2 -> Security and users -> Local security, I found File permissions setting there. It is Secure for me. It is the setting for polkit.default-privs too? TIA.

I hit send too soon again. I found it in the Novell documentation [1] The mentioned /etc/sysconfig/security contains ## Type: string ## Default: "standard" # # SUSE ships with two sets of default privilege settings. These are # "standard" and "restrictive". # # Examples: "standard", "restrictive foo bar" # # If not set the value depends on the setting of # PERMISSION_SECURITY. If PERMISSION_SECURITY contains 'secure' or # 'paranoid' the value will be 'restrictive', otherwise 'standard'. " So it is controlled by permission security. I copied the org.freedesktop.hal.storage lines from /etc/polkit-default-privs.standard to /etc/polkit-default-privs.local and ran set_polkit_default_privs as root. The problem solved. Thanks for every help and advice! Sorry for the noise! [1] http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse111/opensuse111_security/?page=/...

Try running "SuSEconfig --module permissions" and see if the settings keep. That script is run by Yast, so better check now than later when it runs automatically.

No, I have learnt a new trick from you. I wasn't aware of /etc/polkit-default-privs.local and the possible implications. [...] I don't have that file... ah, it's new in 11.1.
