Just creating the /media/$USER directory manually was enough for me, I did not need to chown it.
'/media' is on an ext3 for me And this system was originally installed with Ubuntu 7.10, and has been upgraded to every version since (so, there might be leftovers like different permissions from that), and was upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 today, after which the issue showed up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048059 Title: Adding ACLs to /media/$user does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1048059/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
