Hi, After a recent update, I am unable to mount any drives by clicking their names in nautilus side panel like I used to do before. I use awesome wm and start it via slim which itself is started via the inittab method. I have dbus installed and it starts up automatically at boot. Also in my .xinitrc file I have ck-launch-session and dbus-launch before awesome. Everything used to work fine like this before the update. Now when I try to mount a drive I get the error not authorized. I am also in the group storage. I really like arch Linux but these stuff breaking on updates is what pisses me off. Please help me as this is affecting my productivity on my machine. Thanks.

Are you able to reproduce the problem if you use GDM in stead of slim and start it using the rc-script rather than inittab?

This sounds like it should work, but I don't use your precise setup so cannot confirm it. I seem to remember other people having similar problems and replacing SLIM with something else fixed it (but I don't remember the details so I might be wrong).

ConsoleKit, UDisks and PolicyKit should be responsible for this working and you should not need to be in any particular group.

Well what I said is true. When I first started using arch I didn't mind when stuff broke. But now after setting up the OS according to my tastes I want it to stay as it is. So I want it to be stable. But I also don't want to sacrifice the freedom if using arch. And I made this my primary work OS and it really is hurting productivity as I tend to work on a lot of removal drives.

I had this happen once quite some time ago now.What I found was that a library file went missing.

I think you are confused. gvfs has absolutely nothing to do with mounting. The gdu thingie simply displays the icon in your file manager. To see if your dbus and *kit are OK, try "udisks --mount /dev/your_dev_here". The volume should be mounted under /media. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key ID: 164B5A6D Key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

Meaculpa. It's a permission error but its with Udisks. su password udisks --mount /dev/xxxx /media/xxxx works fine. I have the requisite udiskie requires permission for the org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount action. This is usually granted in sessions launched with ConsoleKithttp://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKitsupport. If run outside a desktop manager with ConsoleKithttp://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKit support, the permission can be granted using PolicyKithttp://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PolicyKit by creating a file called 10-udiskie.pkla in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d with these contents: [udiskie] Identity=unix-group:storage Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount ResultAny=yes This configuration allows all members of the storage group to run udiskie. I've tried the .pkla file as above and with two additional lines ResultInactive=no ResultActive=yes Seems as though it may be a permissions issue that's handled within a desktop environment. I'm unable to check that without installing a desktop environment. Time to readup on consolekit and polkit. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!

Are you able to reproduce the problem if you use GDM in stead of slim and start it using the rc-script rather than inittab?

This sounds like it should work, but I don't use your precise setup so cannot confirm it. I seem to remember other people having similar problems and replacing SLIM with something else fixed it (but I don't remember the details so I might be wrong).

ConsoleKit, UDisks and PolicyKit should be responsible for this working and you should not need to be in any particular group.

I had this happen once quite some time ago now.What I found was that a library file went missing. Try this...ldd /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gdu-volume-monitorSee if it tells you that a file is missing and if so then just install the required package. Outside of that installing devmon from AUR could solve the problem. Clive-- Infinity: A concept for those who cannot comprehend the big picture.

I don't see any files that might be missing.

I'm experiencing the same problem and I use openbox, obdevicemenu, udisks, udiskie, and log in on tty0 then type startx. I plugged in a usb drive, couldn't mount it, then went to tty0 and found this error message:

[ failed to mount /org/freedesktop/UDisks/dev/sdc1 org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Permission.Denied Not Authorized ]

There is also an error message on tty0 from thunar-volman which is exactly the same. I went through all the logs and can't find any mention of it anywhere. One of the things I haven't yet learned to do is capture the output on tty0 to another terminal so I have to go back and forth occassionally to find these things. Hope I got the wording right. Seems like it's an error associated with the latest udev update.

Meaculpa. It's a permission error but its with Udisks.

su password udisks --mount /dev/xxxx /media/xxxx

works fine.

I have the requisite

udiskie requires permission for the org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount action. This is usually granted in sessions launched with ConsoleKithttp://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKitsupport. If run outside a desktop manager with ConsoleKithttp://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKit support, the permission can be granted using PolicyKithttp://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PolicyKit by creating a file called 10-udiskie.pkla in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d with these contents:

[udiskie] Identity=unix-group:storage Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount ResultAny=yes

This configuration allows all members of the storage group to run udiskie. I've tried the .pkla file as above and with two additional lines

ResultInactive=no ResultActive=yes

Seems as though it may be a permissions issue that's handled within a desktop environment. I'm unable to check that without installing a desktop environment. Time to readup on consolekit and polkit.

None of your emails make sense to me. You should check whether your dbus is running and you are connected to it (ck-list-sessions, ps -e u | grep dbus, your .xinitrc). You don't need udiskie, pkla files, storage group, gvfs or thunar-volman.

In any normal desktop, the job of the starter scripts is to setup the session by calling dbus-launsh with appropriate arguments. However, openbox is quite limited in this sense and does none of the above. That is why you need dbus-launch in your .xinitrc. And that is also why the wiki is completely wrong.

Leonid Please forgive my error on the commands. I don't always sort things out right. I'm still recovering from a long hospital stay from CO2 poisioning, self inflicted from copd and I simply forget to breathe. It's been almost a year and I still not right. I was thinking after my last post that I don't seem to communicate my thoughts well anymore, unless it's one of my rants. It may be a generational thing, I'm not sure, since my golden (lol) years have arrived. It may be my adhd coupled with early onset dementia from the CO2 episode. I know all I can do is keep trying until I get it right. That may be too much info for the ml. I know I sometimes seem muddled but there is a reason for it. I'm only hoping it goes away or I'll be back to using an os that does everything for me, UGH. Thanks for everyone's patienence. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!

Is there no way other than installing gdm. It installs pulseaudio and that messes everything on my system. Happened the last time. Don't want to go through it again.

"pacman -S gdm" play around "pacman -Rsc gdm" Should get you back where you started. There might be another way to figure out what's wrong, but I don't know what to suggest. -t
