Initscripts system - User cannot mount removable disks

Latios · 2014-09-08 20:36:07

I changed my system to Initscripts-Fork init

Now, when i plug in a removable disk, it is autodetected by KDE but cannot be mounted. Error messages when i try to mount it from KDE are :

Plasma device notifier : Could not mount the following device : KFAT1

Dolphin : An error occurred while accessing 'Home', the system responded: An unspecified error has occurred: Not authorized to perform operation

my /etc/group : (user running KDE is ash)

I installed from AUR :
dbus-nosystemd
eudev
eudev-systemdcompat
initscripts-fork
sysvinit
polkit-consolekit
udisks2-nosystemd
upower-nosystemd

Daemons i run (at the moment by starting them manually with rc.d) :
rc.d/dbus
rc.d/kdm - but same happens if i use KDE by running startx as ash in the tty

Am i missing a package or a setting ?

It will be hard to tell with so many changed packages, so let's do some basic troubleshooting first and see if things work when done manually.

please post the content of your /etc/fstab.

Try mounting the device manually from a terminal both as user and root, post the outputs.

Do you have an inistrcript to start /usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd ? You need to run the udisks2 daemon before the automounting works.

Meanwhile i tried to tinker with it and ruined my system completely. So i am on a fresh install now, booted with systemd

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>	<dir>	<type>	<options>	<dump>	<pass>
# /dev/sda2
UUID=833253b6-d608-46e6-9966-b25812573558	/         	ext3      	rw,relatime,data=ordered	0 1

# /dev/sda1
UUID=2a858d40-0cb9-452d-89dc-5c867a9dff7d	/home     	ext4      	rw,relatime,data=ordered	0 2

[ash@altomare3 ~]$ mkdir kfat
[ash@altomare3 ~]$ mount /dev/sdb1 kfat/
mount: only root can do that
[ash@altomare3 ~]$ su
Password: 
[root@altomare3 ash]# mount /dev/sdb1 kfat/
[root@altomare3 ash]# ls kfat/
Camera album  Images  Sounds  Videos
[root@altomare3 ash]#

Now i will go to initscripts again and see what happens. And try to start udisks2

Thanks

Edit :

I did the 1st stage of conversion to Initscripts - systemd is still here, but Arch is booted by initscripts this time

What i did :
Install initscripts-fork and sysvinit from AUR
remove systemd-sysvcompat
place scripts for dbus and kdm in /etc/rc.d
reboot
start dbus and kdm manually

Now under KDE i cant mount the disks, same errors as before :

I did not change fstab so its the same as before. Trying to mount the disk manually as user and as root gives same output as before

I did not find any init script for udisksd. So i tried to run it straight from the console

While its open, unplugging and plugging back the USB device, no new output in the console is generated, and it still won't mount in KDE - same errors

I tried to remove dbus and kdm from rc.d and run things manually at startup in this order :
/etc/rc.d/dbus start
/usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd &
/etc/rc.d/kdm start

Still nothing

You should install also consolekit (and rebuild polkit-consolekit after that) and kdebase-workspace-consolekit.

Also there is no need to start udisksd manually or via rc scripts, in Arch Linux it happens automatically.
