Hello all,
I haven't had a need to mount an USB stick in a long time and now I am not able to mount it as non-root. I don't use any DE's. However, I have following polkit rule in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-udisks2.rules:
---- // Allow udisks2 to mount devices without authentication // for users in the "trusted" group. polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system" || action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount") && subject.isInGroup("trusted")) { return polkit.Result.YES; } }); ----
I am in the trusted group. This used to work but not anymore.
I tried to debug this a while back and in the end resorted to using pmount which is really easy to set up - unlike anything using policykit. Note that you need a file manager that asks policykit to mount the device. AFAIK mount(8) does not use policykit so any amount of policy settings won't help you. HTH Michal
