(SOLVED) Thunar - Not authorized to perform operation.

kamrava · 2014-03-03 18:12:07

I have updated my system by following command :

$ sudo pacman -Syyu

After updating, when I open a Drive it gets me :

Failed to mount "Drive Name".
Not authorized to perform operation.

I saw many threads about this problem my problem does not solved!!

How could I find it?
I think `%wheel`

armandopk · 2014-03-03 20:50:03

you have installed polkit/lxpolkit?

Open a terminal and type "groups"...

I got it to work using this rule:
Allow mounting a filesystem on a system device for any user

However, in this thread it did not work, at least not with automounting. Perhaps some of the other solutions mentioned work.

Udiskie is what I use. Add it to your start up script for your WM and off you go.

I can confirm what woomia recommends. Also for me the Thunar/gvfs/thunar-volman combination does not work. See this bug report:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38933#comment119964

Instead I am now using udiskie with udisks2 flag as well.

udiskie -2 -s &

It was the trick.. It works thank you.

But when I try to open Drive for first time, it aks me about root password. How do I prevent this treatment?

Have you tried this polkit rule I linked to earlier? Allow mounting a filesystem on a system device for any user
You could make a rule for your user or group only.

Solved. Thank you

So, just to confirm. Creating the polkit rule does enable even automounting for you?

This is not working for me, even with the udev rule: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38933#comment119964

maybe you are using udisks 2. edits made to "/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy" may no longer apply to every disk, especially when its flagged as "*-internal" (i dont know how udisks separates these, but i guess that all non-usb devices are "internal").

so take a look for "org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy" instead.
also check

loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID|grep Active

. If you are "active" set

      <allow_active>yes</allow_active>

in

org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount (default) and 
org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system

otherwise try to get active or edit <allow_any> or <allow_inactive>

works fine for me; this harrasses me, because i didn't notice udisks2 to became active.
