Cannot mount volume.

I'm trying to access files on a CD I've put in. When I try to open the CD (in gnome), I get this error:
---

Cannot mount volume.

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied.

Details
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")

---

How can I fix this? Help appreciated!

Thanks,

Re: Cannot mount volume.

Hi wildwobby,
add your user to optical and storage group (type these commands as root):

gpasswd -a <your_username_here> optical
gpasswd -a <your_username_here> storage

Log out and log in again

Re: Cannot mount volume.

I am having this same issue. However, I have added myself to both groups and logged out and back in again. I cannot get this to work on either my laptop or my desktop. Any other suggestions?

**Solved on my laptop: You have to restart dbus.

Log out of your DE, and go to a console

/etc/rc.d/dbus restart
/etc/rc.d/hal restart

Should work now
