I can confirm this issues still exists in a clean install of 12.04 LTS using FreeNX. I did find that if I hook a keyboard and a mouse up and log in locally, I can access the usb thumb drive normally. However, over FreeNX it says something like "Access Denied - Unauthorized." I can also access the drive over FreeNX after I have accessed it locally.
Since I mainly use the system remotely, I did find a way to access the thumb drive over FreeNX without it being too much of a hassel. I made a DiskUtil.sh script where I do not have to type in my sudo password every time: #!/bin/sh echo "yourSudoPassword" | sudo -S palimpsest When in the graphical Disk Utility, I can mount the usb drive and then click on the link on the right hand side that says "Mount Point: Mounted at /media/Transcend" and it will open up and I can copy to and from the drive normally. Note that even mounted, I cannot access the files through Nautilus at the mount point. I have to click the link in palimpsest or it will not work. But hey, at least I can access my thumb drive remotely. And for the record, I know that script file is not the best way to do that, but I tried several ways to do it correctly and they didn't work for me...so yeah, there is a script file somewhere on a system that has my password in it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518533 Title: Unable to mount location Not Authorized after nautilus upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/518533/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
