Public bug reported: I was surprised to see new request after upgrade and restart of my system. Some thing wonted to mount other thing and askend my password. After i cliced on details it showed me some technical details but useless for normal user.
First problem is description: "Authentication is requiered to mount the device" after this in german "Some aplication try to start some action, wich need legitimation" ... it's like to say... " you know i need to do some thing what you do not understand, just tipe your password". ... it is just really bad thay to say it to the user. /dev/sda11 do not say me a lot... (if it windows partition i do not wont to mount it.. last time i did it with alpha software it was corrupt). First i need to know is the label of partition or/and file system. if you do not wont to say it normal user. hide it in details, but not in say... to find it yout you should start terminal and do: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda ls -l /dev/disks/by-label/ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) Release: 9.10 lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) Release: 9.10 l...@zwerg:~/Desktop$ apt-cache policy policykit-1 policykit-1: Installiert: 0.92-0ubuntu1 Kandidat: 0.92-0ubuntu1 Versions-Tabelle: *** 0.92-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: policykit-1 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- authentication regues should be more informative https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394468 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
