Udisks - Permission Denied?

Hi,

I have Arch64 and KDE 4.6 (testing) installed on a Lenovo X200. I have an NTFS partition on the drive that I use to share files between Linux and Windows.

I recently did an upgraded, which upgraded udisks, and now when I try to open up the NTFS partition, I get an error:

An error occured while accessing 'Datastore', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Udisks.Error.PermissionDenied: not Authorized

I'm a member of the "storage" group, so I didn't think I'd have permission issues.

Any ideas on what might be causing this issue?

Cheers,
Victor

Re: Udisks - Permission Denied?

What I have is an /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/60-localauthority.conf file containing

[Configuration]
AdminIdentities=unix-user:andrew

and then an /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/my-polkit-udisks.pkla file containing

[udisks full access]
Identity=unix-user:andrew
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.*
ResultActive=yes

[Change CPU Frequency scaling]
Identity=unix-user:andrew
Action=org.gnome.cpufreqselector
ResultActive=yes

You just need to change to your username in the Identity key.
