It seems that udisks2 sets unconditionnally ACLs and exits if it fails. So, udisks2 doesnt' work if the root filesystem doesn't support ACLs. Which is the case, by default for ext3. You can add acl support in your mount options in /etc/fstab, if you are using ext3 on your root filesystem :
/dev/xxxx / ext3 acl,errors=remount-ro 0 1 Someone has made a patch which tests ACLs availability before issuing ACL commands : http://www.spinics.net/lists/hotplug/msg05612.html -- 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
