Recently after an update...not sure which one of the last few days, I can't access any of my card memory of any type...mostly for my Canon digital equipment, but USB works. I tried several diff. card types and NON are readable. IF a windows does pop up, and I choose the file manager, the directory is /home/<my user>/documents/ where I see a folder NDGrad and no other folders, drives, etc.
If I use Konq. or Dolphin with the address: sysinfo:/ , I can see all drives and the card....but can't access any images on it.
Does anyone know what got messed up and how can I fix it?
Thanks!

Fred,
has/dbus/PolicyKit went on the fritz for me as well about a week ago. It was denying access to devices mounted under /media to regular users. I haven't sorted it out yet, but instead just went to:
control center -> System -> PolicyKitAuthorization -> org.freedesktop -> hal -> storage -> Mount ...
and explicitly set myself as a authorized user. You will need to use "kdesu /usr/bin/systemsettings" to gain access to the settings. Give it a try.
THANKS, David! I'm using KDE 4.3 beta on 11.1, so the procedure is a tad easier. All you have to do is in the "Personal Settings," is go to "Advanced," then Policykit Authorization, freedestop, hal, storage, mount, then add any users to the "removable" media listing. Pure stupidity that I didn't find that before, but we seem to be always finding something that we didn't know about before, eh? :) Best, Fred -- "Where's The Birth Certificate?" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
