[solved] nautilus throws 'not autorized' error when mounting usb keys

solstice · 2011-10-09 09:45:36

hi.
I had problem with gdm (gdm gives only a black screen with a clock cursor solved since)
So I login directly from the console by running startx.
But nautilus began to throw errors when attempting to mount or unmount usb keys. 'Not authorized'.

Then I began to use ck-launch-session in .xinitrc with

exec ck-launch-session gnome-session

From what I understand it's the correct use. So nautilus should not have had problem after that. But that's changed nothing

WHY ? I just want to know why ?

Note: it's works now that I login from gdm. But I just want to understand that thing and what's wrong

Do you have something like this in your /etc/pam.d/login?:

-session	optional	pam_ck_connector.so nox11

yes. I have.

Try putting "dbus-launch" before gnome-session.

It works ! Thanks

That becomes tricky to get all the pieces together to get it working.

I am confused. Then what's the purpose of dbus that I have added to the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf. omg
I'll try to get some doc and found out...

Edit: it creates a dbus session... mmh.
Edit2:
I have used

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch gnome-session

Is it a correct order ? or

exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session gnome-session

is better ?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xi … us_session says it should be

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch gnome-session

Edit: LOL - you wrote that part of the wiki yourself :-)

Edit 2:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce#Manually says

dbus-launch should actually be called after ck-launch-session, otherwise there will be authorization problems when mounting disks as a regular user, see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25031

I was going to ask why do I need to run dbus-launch a second time since it is launched from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus

But that's the culprit. All of this because I have included the snippet

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

in my ~/.xinitrc after seeing it in /etc/skel/.xinitrc

I shouldn't have done that. go figure !
