[Solved] Unable to mount devices through PCmanFM

atrus6 · 2012-06-11 18:41:37

On startup, both of my internal drives would be unmounted, opening up my file manager, I would be able to click and have them mount. Now, merely clicking on either of the two drives gives me the error of "Not Authorized"

I've looked at the wiki page to try and solve this, but under both sections of "Mounting as Normal User" and "Unable to mount USB device" I have all of the required programs and config files.

What should I do next to fix this?

post your /etc/fstab

The wiki page describes more than just installing the appropriate software. You also need to configure it.

So don't just "look" at the wiki page - follow it from top to bottom.

If you run into errors along the way, come back and report what steps succeeded, which step failed, and what was the error message or result of that failed step. Also, as there are countless ways of automounting, we'd also need to know which method you chose. (Hint, for internal drives, I'd suggest adding them to fstab).

Sorry, look wasn't strong enough of a word, I did go through the page and follow the steps as listed, of which I

1. Confirmed all required program were installed.
2. Ensured that both ck-launch-session and dbus-launch were in my .xinitrc (and in that order)
3. Checked to make sure /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/55-myconf.pkla existed and was at least similar or identical to what was in the wiki.
4. Make sure my user was in group storage.

There wasn't any file of type pkla (step 3) so I created one and put the example text into it.

But, I've gone through each of the step again (as suggested), and I cannot cd into, nor create a file in localauthority. I am also not able to mount any removable storage (iPod, phone and USB drive) through PCmanFS, which I've been able to do before.

My fstab:

Install pmount and your problem is solved

What environment are you using (Openbox, xfce4, ...) and how are you starting your session?

Installing pmount has no effect.

How do you login: through the console or using a login manager (slim, lxdm, gdm, etc)? If you are using the latest slim (1.3.3), you must remove ck-launch-session from your exec line.

That is what I was fishing for

Sorry, I took it as startup scripts rather than login manager.

That fixed it. Thank you very much, all the help is appreciated. I didn't realize that the login manager would have an effect, and it didn't even occur to look there.

Was there a warning when I updated that, and I missed it?
