Bug#650299: udisks: KDE cannot mount USB disks
Package: udisks Version: 1.0.1+git20100614-3 The problem and the (temporary) solution that has been used by the bug reporter is explained here: http://www.suurmeijer.net/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=65:solved-orgfreedesktopudiskserrorpermissiondenied-not-authorizedcatid=38:debianItemid=63 I had this problem reproducibly (before I changed the file as described, for the first time; please find it attached) when I returned from save-to-disk state (hibernation, which was triggered by KDE 4.6.5's PowerDevil, in the office) and reconnected the external USB disk to the USB port (at home). ISTM that *at least* when returning from hibernation, the KDE session needs to be renewed so that it is considered active. IOW, this bug report should probably be transferred to another package, but I am not sure which one. -- Regards, PointedEars ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE policyconfig PUBLIC -//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Policy Configuration 1.0//EN http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/PolicyKit/1.0/policyconfig.dtd; policyconfig vendorThe udisks Project/vendor vendor_urlhttp://udisks.freedesktop.org//vendor_url icon_namedrive-removable-media/icon_name action id=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount descriptionMount a device/description description xml:lang=daMontér en enhed/description description xml:lang=deGerät einhängen/description messageAuthentication is required to mount the device/message message xml:lang=daAutorisering er påkrævet for at montere et fil system/message message xml:lang=deZugriffsrechte werden benötigt um das Gerät einzuhängen/message defaults !--allow_anyno/allow_any-- allow_anyyes/allow_any !--allow_anyno/allow_any-- allow_inactiveyes/allow_inactive allow_activeyes/allow_active /defaults /action action id=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal descriptionMount a system-internal device/description description xml:lang=daMontér en intern enhed/description description xml:lang=deEingebautes Gerät einhängen/description messageAuthentication is required to mount the device/message message xml:lang=daAutorisering er påkrævet for at montere et fil system/message message xml:lang=deZugriffsrechte werden benötigt um das Gerät einzuhängen/message defaults allow_anyno/allow_any allow_inactiveno/allow_inactive allow_activeauth_admin_keep/allow_active /defaults /action action id=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-check descriptionCheck file system on a device/description description xml:lang=daCheck fil system for en enhed/description description xml:lang=deDateisystem auf einem Gerät prüfen/description messageAuthentication is required to check the file system on the device/message message xml:lang=daAutorisering er påkrævet for at checke fil systemet på en enhed/message message xml:lang=deZugriffsrechte werden benötigt um das Dateisystem auf dem Gerät zu prüfen/message defaults allow_anyno/allow_any allow_inactiveno/allow_inactive allow_activeyes/allow_active /defaults /action action id=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-check-system-internal descriptionCheck file system of a system-internal device/description description xml:lang=daCheck fil system for en intern enhed/description description xml:lang=deDateisystem auf einem eingebauten Gerät prüfen/description messageAuthentication is required to check the file system on the device/message message xml:lang=daAutorisering er påkrævet for at checke fil systemet på en enhed/message message xml:lang=deZugriffsrechte werden benötigt um das Dateisystem auf dem Gerät zu prüfen/message defaults allow_anyno/allow_any allow_inactiveno/allow_inactive allow_activeauth_admin_keep/allow_active /defaults /action action id=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-unmount-others descriptionUnmount a device mounted by another user/description description xml:lang=daAfmontér en enhed monteret af en anden bruger/description description xml:lang=deGerät eines anderen Benutzers aushängen/description messageAuthentication is required to unmount devices mounted by another user/message message xml:lang=daAutorisering er påkrævet for at afmontere enheder monteret af en anden bruger/message message xml:lang=deZugriffsrechte werden benötigt um ein Gerät auszuhängen, das ein anderer Benutzer eingehängt hat/message defaults allow_anyno/allow_any allow_inactiveno/allow_inactive allow_activeauth_admin/allow_active /defaults /action action id=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-lsof descriptionList open files/description description xml:lang=daVis åbne filer/description description xml:lang=deOffene Dateien anzeigen/description messageAuthentication is required to list open files on a mounted file

This is a USB drive; more accurately, its a SATA drive in a USB3 dock.

You filed the bug against 1.0.4-2 which should definitely have allow_activeyes/allow_active in there. Perhaps so, but myne did not have that set to 'yes' and I came across someone in Debian IRC with the same issue and this was the same fix for that person, which is why I filed the bug. Could you attach the complete file please. Attached. Could you also check with debsums udisks, if this file was modified. I reinstalled this before I could check that :( but it certainly was modified by me. A apt-get install --reinstall should bring the original file back. It did reinstall, and the new file did have that allow_activeyes/allow_active in there as you expected. My drives are currently busy so I cannot test if this new file solves issues but I will do so tomorrow. Thanks for your assistance! org.freedesktop.udisks.policy Description: XML document
