After upgrade from polkit-0.116-r1 to polkit-0.118 I'm not able to mount usb flash drive by user via kde-plasma system tray notification area or dolphin file manager. In case of dolphin I get error: > An error occurred while accessing 'Home', the system responded: > You are not authorized to perform this operation: > Not authorized to perform operation (polkit authority not available and caller is not uid 0) Downgrade to sys-auth/polkit-0.116-r1 resolve this issue. For mount I use udesks2 rule: ># cat 10-udisks.rules >polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { > if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount" > && subject.isInGroup("users")) { > return "yes"; > } >}); With polkit-0.118 after trying to mount flash drive by user "messages" file contains: > # grep polkit /var/log/messages > Nov 29 11:19:05 fenrir polkitd[2135]: Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-session:2 (system bus name :1.11, object path /org/kde/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale C) > Nov 29 11:19:06 fenrir polkitd[2135]: Lost the name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 - exiting > Nov 29 11:21:58 fenrir polkitd[2126]: Started polkitd version 0.118 > Nov 29 11:21:59 fenrir polkitd[2241]: Started polkitd version 0.118 > Nov 29 11:22:35 fenrir polkitd[2241]: Loading rules from directory /etc/polkit-1/rules.d > Nov 29 11:22:35 fenrir polkitd[2126]: Loading rules from directory /etc/polkit-1/rules.d > Nov 29 11:22:35 fenrir polkitd[2126]: Loading rules from directory /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d > Nov 29 11:22:35 fenrir polkitd[2241]: Loading rules from directory /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d > Nov 29 11:22:35 fenrir polkitd[2126]: Finished loading, compiling and executing 2 rules > Nov 29 11:22:35 fenrir polkitd[2241]: Finished loading, compiling and executing 2 rules > Nov 29 11:22:35 fenrir polkitd[2126]: Lost the name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 - exiting > Nov 29 11:22:35 fenrir polkitd[2241]: Acquired the name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 on the system bus I tried to use this way [1] instead with addition of user to plugdev group but without success.

Have you tried enabling the "kde" USE flag in sys-auth/polkit-0.118?
(In reply to Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) from comment #3) > Have you tried enabling the "kde" USE flag in sys-auth/polkit-0.118? This use flag adds runtime dependency kde-plasma/polkit-kde-agent that is already installed in my system before I emerge polkit.
Did you logout and re-login after polkit update? For the record, I haven't experienced any issues mounting any removable devices in KDE with polkit-0.118 on three Gentoo systems. So I doubt there really is a bug but rather some misconfiguration.

It's strange but last time I have no access mount the same usb flash drive with polkit-0.116 too while I didn't change preferences or didn't update any related pkgs: only installed lua and gimp-2.99.2 to check build.log. I'll try to recheck polkit prefs and udisks2 rules.

So I doubt there > really is a bug but rather some misconfiguration. Same for me. I upgraded to polkit-0.118 today, no issue mounting removable devices on latest KDE. Tested on AMD64, with patched polkit-0.118 that uses duktape instead of spidermonkey as JS engine.
It's works again for me with config of plugdev user addition that I tried early to. Since 30 Nov 2020 I merged some packages. I suspect issue is resolved due to re-emerge of kde-plasma/plasma-disks or/and dev-util/desktop-file-utils.

On some linux community forum I was recommended re-emerge sys-libs/libblockdev and on 15 Dec the sys-libs/libblockdev-2.24 was re-emerge in system too. The kmod, e2fsprog and then udisks was recommended to re-emerge also. But I didn't touch them.
