As an example, I have created another partition on an internal drive, which by default, requires admin authentication, for polkit and hal to allow a mount. Instead of mounting, I am greeted with "An error occurred while accessing '74.5 GiB Hard Drive', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always <-- (action, result) Which gives the indication that I failed to authenticate.. Which I suppose I did, since I wasn't ever asked to authenticate. If, however, I modify the system to not require authentication at all, it will mount the device properly, but I wish to keep the default setting of "Admin Authorization - Keep" And yes, $ sysctl vfs.usermount vfs.usermount: 1 >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to mount an INTERNAL hard drive partition with KDE/dolphin 4.6.5 >Fix: No fix known, but an ugly hack is to just give a specified user or users full access, with no need for authentication. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
