[Solved]Permission issues with mounted media

trishtren18 · 2009-12-20 05:34:03

hello everyone. i have a issue that is more of a annoyance than a problem. when i attach my usb hard drive i get this error

Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.15" (uid=1000 pid=8611 comm="exo-mount) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=3138 comm="/usr/sbin/hald)).

and am forced to open up the file manager as root to do anything with the device or its contents after transfer. if anyone has a suggestion or fix please enlighten me. im using openbox and thunar. i used the ck-launch-session in my ~/.xinitrc. thank you ahead of time for your help.

Have you tried the fixes suggested in the HAL entry? It sounds like a policy kit fix...

guzz46 · 2009-12-20 05:55:45

Have you recently upgraded hal to version 0.5.14-1 because it sounds like the same problem I am having http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=87123

Check /var/log/errors.log and see if you have a ck-launch-session error

trishtren18 · 2009-12-20 06:08:06

yes i have upgraded and i have this entry in my log that interests me

Dec 20 00:04:17 arch64 ck-launch-session: error connecting to ConsoleKit

Yea I have the same problem, try rolling back to the previous version of hal in the mean time

trishtren18 · 2009-12-20 06:21:03

@jasonwryan i dont seem to have the /etc/PolicyKit/Policykit.conf available to me

@guzz46 i will try that

trishtren18 · 2009-12-20 06:55:18

tried reading myself to hal controlled groups and that was a nogo. made sure im doing a ck-launch and i am. im really at a loss here.

jasonwryan · 2009-12-20 07:00:42

If you don't have a Policykit.conf, you can create one as per the wiki entry... but it looks like guzz46's advice is the way to go.

Try adding /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon to /etc/rc.local that has fixed it for me, for some reason it mustn't of been getting started

however, it is ridiculous console-kit-daeomon not starting with hal/dbus

Do you have policykit installed ?

stillwater · 2009-12-20 17:34:35

Same problem. After rolling back to hal 0.5.13 now it works fine. I guess this is a side effect on a rolling-release system.

Strange, I have hal 0.5.14-1, and didn't get this message, however, today I accidentally removed the policykit package, and I got (I was just messing around with bluetooth and my phone) Then I reinstalled it, and it works out of the box.
By the way, the topic marked is as solved, but what was the solution in the end ?

ugaciaka · 2009-12-20 17:58:19

the solution is: update the system!

jgc updated consolekit with patch

I've tried every way before and this also:

Try adding /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon to /etc/rc.local that has fixed it for me, for some reason it mustn't of been getting started

still have the same error message by trying to mount USB device.
Error:
