[opensuse-factory] Cannot mount volumes on desktop (HAL permission problem)

Hi, I have several volumes displayed on my desktop. But when I'm trying to access one, I'm getting a dialog box saying: Cannot mount volume. Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy. Details say: hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000 This is on an Itanium workstation (IA-64 architecture) running up-to-date openSUSE Factory. Is this a (known) bug or are they corrective actions I can try? I don't know if it's related but I can see an error message at boot time about udevd not being able to lookup the disk group. Cheers, Émeric
