Hi all, I have just installed OpenSuSE 12.3 but I have run into this problem. I have no problem mounting devices as root user, but it does not work when I am a normal user. No password popping out the request, too.

The problem do not shows up in other two installations.

I have no clue about what could have gone wrong.

TIA, Praise

I need to mount an USB key. I do it with every system by clicking in the KDE plugin, the device notifier. If I do that on that system, it fails with "unspecified error has occurred. not authorized to perform operation", unless I am root. And I don't have any special line in fstab in all other system I have installed 12.3.

The user belongs to the video group, so I don't think it's the cause. Googling brings me to nothing.

My investigation is bringing me to udisks/udisksctl - the second one maps the access to org,freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-other-seat and requires (correctly) a password to mount.

Please check whether your session belongs to seat and is considered as active.

loginctl --no-pager list-seats loginctl --no-pager list-sessions

Your current session name is in $XDG_SESSION_ID

loginctl --no-pager show-session -p Active $XDG_SESSION_ID

If not, that would explain pssword request.

lady@ladypc:~> loginctl --no-pager list-seats SEAT seat0 1 seats listed. lady@ladypc:~> loginctl --no-pager list-sessions SESSION UID USER SEAT 0 sessions listed. lady@ladypc:~> loginctl --no-pager show-session -p Active $XDG_SESSION_ID

Exactly, that's the problem. The session is not considered active. How to solve it?

Sorry, I do not use KDE nor even have it installed. It is OK with Gnome (using gdm). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
