Problem - aptosid kde device notifier failing to mount usb media with "not authorized" error


Solution

Edit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy as follows:

<action id="org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount">
<description>Mount a device</description>
<description xml:lang="da">Montér en enhed</description>
<message>Authentication is required to mount the device</message>
<message xml:lang="da">Autorisering er påkrævet for at montere et fil system</message>
<defaults>
<allow_any>no</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
</action>

Change is

from <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
to <allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>
