I'm using GNOME and I think it uses udisks2 and not udisks and I've already checked the rules there and they're correct. However I'm solving this by switching to systemd, because with it it works properly. I was able to switch my home machine, I'm little bit afraid of my office machines, because they're using network bridges and it was huge problem for systemd in 12.1.
You're right, there are differences between Gnome and KDE. So I also wouldn't mess up my office machines. For me it's a work-around at home, as I frequently use my USB-Drive and I don't need to give the root password to my kid's ;-) But for my office PC I will also wait for a patch from the openSUSE guys. And I think now they should have enough information to fix the problem. Have fun ;-) -- 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.

Not entirely sure though why this would be org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal => a USB stick should NOT be considered an internal devices
For me an USB-Stick never was a problem. It's a hard disk connected to USB that made the trouble. -- 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.

Whazt filesystem is on it?
EXT3 See also my Comment 1, there is an output of dmesg when plugging it in. It also seems that external DVD-ROM are affected like the OP stated. -- 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.

org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal
is a privilege that matches all internal disks.
any user being able to mount internal partitions/disks is not acceptable, as he would basically gain root access with it.
We should try to find out why your USB disk was considered to use this privilege for mounting.
