In 11.4, I put in a stick, a popup asked me what to do, I selected open in new window, and went on about my business. When business finished, I went updir in that window, right clicked, and selected safely remove. Safely remove is denied in 13.1, "not authorized to perform operation". AFAICT, I can only eject as root user. I looked through the entire kde3 mailing list archive from October 2013 on without seeing this mentioned, and Googling "opensuse usb not authorized to perform operation 13.1 kde3" turned up nothing directly on apparent point, only about 12.3 and no more HAL or kio_slave. How/where does one authorize user ejection? Would updating to whatever's in the Trident repo help? If this is as simple as enabling the KDE3HAL repo to get HAL and the missing kio, why is KDE3HAL a separate repo? What's the downside?

Felix, Ilya once sent me the link to some tip that helped me in 12.3. I still did not try it in 13.1 or 13.2: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The user should be a member of "users" group. - create /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-allow-mount.rules with the following contents: // Allow udisks2 to mount devices without authentication // for users in the "users" group. polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system" || action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount") && subject.isInGroup("users")) { return polkit.Result.YES; } }); polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal") && subject.isInGroup("users")) { return polkit.Result.YES; } }); -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Though it seems to talk about mounting, auto-mounting worked for me without this rule, but un-mounting did not.
