Thanks for clarifying that the "disk" fix is not advisable. Yet, I am asking myself how you think this should go on. This is an absolute ship stopper bug and yet it didn't even show up in the most annoying bugs during testing phase.
I guess the problem was introduced too late to be properly rated.
Right now, there is not even a note on news.opensuse.org.
Please, someone from Novell or the openSUSE team, step forward and put something online so that users don't walk away in their frustration.
People are just returning from Christmas vacation. There should be an online update soon.
For the time being, I don't see any other solution than to add users to disk, since burning is essential here in our lab..
That would be equivalent to root permissions. Here are some possible workarounds: 1. remove the paragraph that adds the 'removable-block' thing from /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-acl-management.fdi 2. alternatively grant access to removable storage devices to individual users: # polkit-auth --user joe --grant org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.removable-block 3. or allow users in active local sessions access to removable storage devices: # echo "org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.removable-block auth_admin_keep_always:yes:yes" >> /etc/polkit-default-privs.local # set_polkit_default_privs You may want to revert that latter two changes once a fix is released. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
