Unable to mount sd card

Hi,

Am new to Arch.  Have installed it on my eee 701, but when running as a user am unable to mount my sd card in xfce.  As root its fine.

I get this msg

Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.15" (uid=1000 pid=1801 comm="exo-mount) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=1396 comm="/usr/sbin/hald))

Hal is set to start in /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal net-profiles)

and this is my hal.conf

Re: Unable to mount sd card

Try udev. Is your reader OK? Is the card recongized - does it show in dmesg?

You should familiarize yourself with the wiki

Re: Unable to mount sd card

Works fine as root - so would seem to be perms.

There's a bunch of topics about this on the forum.
