I am running GNOME on the latest arch 32-bit iso and for some reason I get this error every time I try to read from a cd/dvd or usb drive. any ideas?

Cannot mount volume.

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied.

what groups are you in?

dawei · 2007-05-29 05:10:32

Did you add your user to group "optical" and "storage"?

gpasswd -a username storage
gpasswd -a username optical

Thanks. I added the user to both the groups and rebooted but I am still having the same problem. Any other ideas?

hrm...anyone??

just to check, see ur /etc/group. it should look like

storage:x:95:zaffe,hal
optical::93:zaffe,hal

thanks. silly me..i ran

$gpasswd -a username storage optical

and it didnt add me to both. i see now that it must be run as 2 separate commands. thanks everyone
