[opensuse] can't mount/open/use usb drive/stick/disk device on leap 42.2
Hi list I can't mount/open/use usb drive/stick/removabledisk on leap 42.2 with common user .. only with root user. With a normal user using KDE desktop, it detects the pendrive, for example, but when trying to open in the file manager gives the error "you are not allowed to mount this device"or something like that. The use of external storage devices nowadays is something so basic, I can not understand why in this version this was blocked (in previous versions it worked perfectly well) Any tips? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Create a folder with permissions that allow you to open it. Generally, creating it with you as the owner does the trick. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, that's for writing on the device once mounted, and not for FAT usb sticks. His problem is earlier, mounting them. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Then it must be some policy you set. For instance, did you set easy or secure configuration with YaST? In the later case you get this. You mention hundred of users, so this is not a single computer. You could try one machine with one user on another desktop to find out if it is some KDE related issue. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
This is certainly a security policy. I came here to ask for some help just because I do not know where I change this damn policy !! I tested multiple users on different machines. Where I have opensuse 13.1 or 13.2, everything is working fine with root or common user. But the problem is only occurring on machines that have been upgraded to opensuse 42.2. PERMISSION_SECURITY = easy local I do not think it's a KDE bug, because with 'root' everything works fine (the usb stick is mounted via KDE normally) The problem is only with ordinary user (it gives the error that there is no permission for the user to mount the device) The problem is that I can not find any configuration files or anything like that to release mount to any user.

The thing is, people are not having that problem, or they would have said so already. Certainly I don't have it, but I don't use KDE - thus the suggestion to just try another desktop to find out if it is a KDE issue or not. I'm not suggesting you switch to another desktop permanently. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

We don't know whether it is a security bug, or a KDE bug. We can't rule either in, or out. So people are suggesting trying a different desktop since we know that works for us. Nobody who uses KDE has so far commented as far as I know, which surprises me because there are (or used to be) a lot of KDE users here.

Hi Patrick, Private, off the list msg. What you said is all and well, but is it because you had set the "permission" in System Settings>Removable Devices to mount devices "automagically"?

if you are going to send off list, you really need to change the address. all is well, I am typing on a brand new Tw install which automagically mounts usb sticks when inserted.

I am a KDE user, though I do tend to complain about it. I would describe my relationship with KDE as a "troubled marriage". We are getting counseling (many on this list are my counselors in this relationship), and KDE is gracious enough to not get annoyed when I sometimes flirt with other partners, such as Gnome and LXDE. Be that as it may, when I plug in a usb stick, it does not mount automatically, but a dialog pops up offering me a chance to open the stick in dolphin. If I click on that option, then the stick is automatically mounted in /run/media/george/. It does not require root permissions to mount it there. However, if I choose to mount the stick in /mnt/ on the command line, I have to be root to mount it. Why is that? I don't know. Somewhere KDE has set permissions that allow the desktop to mount your stick in /run/media/<username> without being the root user, but if you mount it in /mnt/, then you have to be the root user. On your system, Rejaine, apparently there is something messed up with the permissions, that should be set in such a way that your desktop is allowed to mount a usb stick without being root. I think this is a different kind of setting than file ownership, because my directory /run/media/george has an ownership of root:root, as so: george@tribeDellbig:/run/media> ls -l total 0 drwxr-x---+ 2 root root 40 Jun 17 07:56 george If file ownership were the issue, the desktop would not mount my usb sticks in this directory without me being root. Now I notice that there is a plus sign '+' after the permissions string in that directory listing. Maybe that has something to do with it? My /mnt/ directory does not have any such plus sign. In any case, it seems that what you need to know is where your system configuration has a setting that gives permission for the desktop to mount a usb stick in /run/media/<username>/ without being root.

On your system, Rejaine, apparently there is something messed up with the permissions, that should be set in such a way that your desktop is allowed to mount a usb stick without being root. I think this is a different kind of setting than file ownership, because my directory /run/media/george has an ownership of root:root, as so:

In any case, it seems that what you need to know is where your system configuration has a setting that gives permission for the desktop to mount a usb stick in /run/media/<username>/ without being root. If we know that, then the setting can be changed and your system, with your users, can probably be fixed.
I have no idea where that setting might be - perhaps someone here might know?
And upon further investigation, I believe the plus sign is the likely culprit. Apparently that is an Access Control List designation, or ACL, and it sets permissions for anything beyond that directory; i.e. media that is mounted in that directory. So I would be interested to know what your permission string looks like for your /run/media/<username> directory. Maybe you can run the command
ls -l /run/media/

Any tips?
Well, just a dumb thought, but what does it say in your log / systemd when you as user plug in the usb device that then fails to mount? And, what does it say differently (in the log) when you successfully plug / mount as root?
plug in as <user> and look here: dmesg -T |tail -n 20 -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
