Mounting as Normal User

Dannny · 2011-02-02 15:37:18

A few days ago pcmanfm stopped mounting an external hard drive when run with normal privileges, giving me an error, "Not Authorized."

I looked on the wiki and found that adding ck-launch-session to .xinitrc should fix the problem, but it was already there from when I had this problem a few months ago. I've tried reinstalling consolekit and hal with no luck.

Any possible fixes?

have you tried using udev or udiskie or devmon as listed in the wiki page?

I tried adding the rule to automount drives allowing users to unmount them, and the drive would mount and allow me to access it, but I still couldn't unmount through pcmanfm or remount it (when sudo umount'ing it).

Thanks for the quick reply

Hi Dannny, at least as a temporary workaround you can use a file to grant those permissions, it should take care of the "Not Authorized" errors you're receiving.

Check out this post and customize a file with the permissions you wish to grant and who to grant them to.

Thanks Aphanic, that should work for a while

I still can't find what the actual issue that started this is...
It just started bugging out like this one morning
