I'm reopening because this issue also affects removable media in general, eg.
DVD and CD mounts and ejects.
I'm also rasing the priority because:
1) There are several reports of people banging their head over this
2) Mount and eject are common tasks
3) I think I have a potential fix that just needs to be applied
The KDE4 device notifier correctly indicates the 'last plugged in device'.
This the mount point of this device is shown correctly in Dolphin for example.
HOWEVER, trying to open the device yields the behavior the OP mentions in
comment #6 and #10 of the thread provided by the OP:
Briefly the OP _may_ have seen the following error message at the bottom of
Dolphin (this error needs to also go to /var/log/messages):
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy:
hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options no ← (action, result)
to confirm openSUSE shipd with the wrong policy, run the follwoing as the user
having problems:
# polkit-auth
There should be no output.
The solution is to run as root:
# sudo polkit-auth --grant org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable --user
# sudo polkit-auth --grant org.freedesktop.hal.storage.eject --user
Again run the following as the user having problems:
# polkit-auth
There should be:
org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable
org.freedesktop.hal.storage.eject
Now the behavior the OP was expecting should be possible.
This solution I think would be a _precursor_ to fixing Bug #383176 which was
marked as duplicate of Bug #434114 and Bug #407537 ?
