[09-10-15 15:33]: Hello:
This occurs in openSUSE 13.1 and its deafult KDE4 installation.
User abc is logged in at graphical display 0 through kdm inot KDE4 session.
He inserts a USB stick which is recognized and mounted automatically by KDE4 device manager.
df -h /dev/sdb1 978M 94M 884M 10% /run/media/abc/KINGSTON
The he wants to unmount it in a login shell (ssh session):
umount /dev/sdb1 umount: /var/run/media/abc/KINGSTON: umount failed: Operation not permitted
umount /run/media/flexys/KINGSTON/ umount: /run/media/abc/KINGSTON: umount failed: Operation not permitted
Is this normal? How can the user unmount the device? Not by suing to root but as a normal user.
User must use the graphical app provided, on my system it is: Device Notifier Icon is in the "System Tray".
I don't recall that w/o making "special" provisions, <user> was every permitted to mount/umount system devices.
Dynamically mounted devices also appear at the bottom of the "Places" panel (toggle w/ F9) in Dolphon. Right-click the device and select 'safely remove." [oS 13.2 KDE4 (4.14.9)] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
