[opensuse-factory] Mount USB flash stick as root, why?
When I insert an USB stick and choose to open it in a File Manager, it asks me for the root password and launches the File Manager Super User Mode. What's up with that?

Could it be the contents of the stick which are the problem? I know that for some reason Imagewrite insists on having root permission to write to a stick. I've just tried to see what 13.2 does but the device notifier says there's nothing plugged in.

Apparently your default file manager is set to "File Manager - Super User Mode". Try to change the default application for inode/directory in "Configure Desktop"->"Applications"->"File Associations".

The problem is gone, by itself, just as it appeared. It's the thrills of the Tumbleweed. Update and see what happens :) I checked now for "inode/mount-point", it's not "Super User", it's just "Dolphin" %u and everything works as it should. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, it's just "Dolphin" now, when everything works. (though as I wrote, the corresponding mimetype is rather "inode/directory", not "inode/mount- point"...) But it probably was set differently when you had the problem. There were general problems with incorrect default file associations (related to a glib2 update) in Tumbleweed around the time you asked this... See e.g. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-03/msg00006.html And they should be fixed by now. Of course I do not know whether this really was your problem, but IMHO it would surely sound like it.
