Normal user cant mount external disk, usb flash and cd-rom

Then I trying to mount I get "Unable to mount, Not Authorized".
I'm in correct groups:
[aivaras@samsung ~]$ groups
wheel network audio optical storage power users

I'm using gnome and I think it can have something with it.

Thanks!!

I had that problem before. I beleive I uncommented my cd in /etc/fstab. That fixed the cd part.

I added to my .xinitrc 

exec ck-launch-session gnome-session

and all was well.

I'm having the same problem at the moment. I remember fixing this on a Fresh install as suggested using ck-launch-session, but this time it seems to be a no-go.

Have a look at the Udev wiki page:

Well, suddenly the ck-launch-session seems to have fixed it after all. Weird!
