When you mount an internal disk by clicking on one of the disk icons in the "Places" menu in Gnome it prompts for authorisation (ie the root password). Underneath there is a tick box which says something like, "remember this authorisation permanently.", which is enabled by default. If you don't untick it, then it essentially creates an explicit policy for you. Anyway, glad it worked. :-) -- Ian Chapman. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I had not rebooted the machine for about a month prior to last night so it is possible that this new behaviour is due to some other updates that came in sometime during the past month and not specifically one of those from last night. Anyway I will check the authorisations and other settings tonight - but in the meantime I wonder if anyone else is seeing the same behaviour? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Updates-to-F10-now-put-windows-partition-icons-on-desktop%21-tp24193376p24197683.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Anyone know how to turn this off? Are they actually being mounted, or is it just the icons? Do a df -h or a mount in a shell to see. If they are being mounted, it could be your policy settings. Open up "System -> Preferences -> Authorisations", why it's in this menu is beyond me. Have a look at "disks -> Mount a system internal device" Implicit Authorisations should read Anyone: No Console: No Active Console: Admin Authentication See if there's any entry in Explicit Authorisations for your user and if so remove it. If that makes no different, then it could be that the internal disks on your system are incorrectly being seen as external devices. Have a look at "Disks -> Mount a device" and set it to the same settings as above. -- Ian Chapman. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
Updates to F10 now put windows partition icons on desktop!
I just updated F10 tonight - and now when I log in I get a recovery partition icon and a windows OS partition on the gnome desktop - yuch. Anyone know how to turn this off?
