ive never seen this before until today, but i can no longer access CDs or my USB thumbdrives through Nautilus by clicking on their respective icons. i get the following error dialog

i dont know much about dbus or hal, but the error dialog mentions those. what kind of other info, if any, would you guys need to help me solve something like this?

I believe you need to add the respective user to the "storage" group. Give this a try: as root run

gpasswd -a USERNAME storage

restart udev or simply reboot. This fixed my problem.
