Cinnamon can't mount flash volumes [resolved]

shawnjgoff · 2013-12-21 20:33:53

I've setup Cinnamon to work with Awesome as described in this post.

It seems that I'm not able to mount flash drives, though. When I plug in a drive, or when I try to mount it from Nemo, a dialog pops up with:

Unable to mount DISKNAME
Not authorized to perform operation

I've seen several posts that say to `exec cinnamon-session` in `.xinitrc`, but I think that is taken care of by the display manager (I'm using lightdm)_ along with those files I added from the post.

Any ideas on how to get this working?

Well, not sure what was up, but after a reboot, it seems to be working fine.

I'll wager 1 credit that you had updated the kernel without having rebooted. You would have had the new modules on the disk and the old kernel in memory. The modules needed by the old kernel were gone. After a reboot, you had the new kernel in memory and all was well.
