I believe we are discussing two different problems here. The error you get is indicative of the absence of polkit, as you correctly observed, and it is an error I get even without ntfs-config (and I thought about reporting it at the time, but eventually forgot about it since i could fix the ntfs-3g automounting as of my first post, and after that it slipped my mind). This bug report is about the ntfs-config (and supposedly any other) policy file not being parsed under the /etc-based hal policy directory tree. If you move that very same policy file under the /usr/share-based hal policy directory tree, the policy kicks in as soon as you plug the device in, and the ntfs partition gets mounted flawlessly and instantly.
>From your output, it looks like you have the ntfs-config policy file under /etc/hal/fdi/policy. What happens if you issue a "sudo mv /etc/hal/fdi/policy/20-ntfs-config-write-policy.fdi /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor" ? On my system, that gets rid of the polkit-related errors, and as i reported in my first post, mounts the partition finely, using the ntfs-3g driver. nuu -- hald not parsing policies under /etc/hal/fdi/policy on kubuntu feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115768 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
