Concerning fixed hard drives ( previous comment ), this is an intentional behavior from the maintainer of HAL Martin Pitt, if PolicyKit is not included (and this is the case in Feisty) :
debian/patches/55_nonpolkit-mount-policy.patch: Implement a policy check if PolicyKit is not available: Only allow mounting of removable devices to non-root users. + /* root can do everything; only allow handling removable devices + * without uid change to non-root users */ + if (!invoked_by_uid || strcmp(invoked_by_uid, "0")) + if (!privilege || strcmp (privilege, "hal-storage-removable-mount")) + permission_denied_privilege (privilege, invoked_by_uid); -- feisty beta fails to mount hard drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98751 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
