[opensuse] OpenSuse 12.3: cannot mount USB key as user
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.

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."

I need to mount an USB key. I do it with every system by clicking in the KDE plugin, the device notifier. If I do that on that system, it fails with "unspecified error has occurred. not authorized to perform operation", unless I am root. And I don't have any special line in fstab in all other system I have installed 12.3. The user belongs to the video group, so I don't think it's the cause. Googling brings me to nothing.

My investigation is bringing me to udisks/udisksctl - the second one maps the access to org,freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-other-seat and requires (correctly) a password to mount. Things work in other systems, and the same keys get correctly mounted as a user.

I'm facing with the same problem, tested on 2 PC (one is upgraded from 12.2 and other clean installed 12.3). As far as I remember, directly after installation/upgrade, usb stick mounting was possible as user. Then we had updates for udisks2 and polkit-default-privs... And this mount action requires root password now. And yes, KDE starts from KDM. -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik openSUSE Community Member GPG: 5FCE 7241 B3B9 32FD 455B C30E 42D6 6C88 9E83 7C3D
