Hi all, I have just installed OpenSuSE 12.3 but I have run into this problem. I have no problem mounting devices as root user, but it does not work when I am a normal user. No password popping out the request, too.
The problem do not shows up in other two installations.
I have no clue about what could have gone wrong.
TIA, Praise
Hi Praise, How are you trying to mount the usb? If you want to mount it as a user there has to be a stanza for it in /etc/fstab such as: "/dev/sdX /mnt file_type user,suid,rw 0 0" Of course you need to modify the above to suit your system. Also it would be prudent to mount it to a user (non-root) partition. Tom -- "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty."
