I'm running KDE 4 unstable with hal+consolekit+dbus+policykit (stable) Since my last upgrade usb keys cannot be mounted in kde anymore. The following message appears: failed with 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure' 'IsCallerPrivil eged() failed One can find this on google quite often: - http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13162 - https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=54804 A workaround is to restart hald, after that it works again. But! it only works if hald is restarted after the kde session is already running. If I restart hald before starting KDE it has no effect. I therefore assume that it has something to do with the consolekit session as well. Reproducible: Always
I think I can confirm that this must be related to the consolekit session. 1. started kde with user 1 2. access usb key --> failed 3. restarted hald 4. access usb key --> success 5. unmount 6. start second kde session in parallel with user2 7. access usb with session 2 --> failed (same error) 8. access usb with session 1 --> success 9. restart hald 10. 7. access usb with session 2 --> failed but now with permission denied here I had to add permission for mount-removable for console, active console was not enough? So It seems that the active console feature is not working either. after that it works.

still the same after update to kde 4.3.4
I just stumbled into something that looks like this problem - everything was working well for quite a long time, and all of a sudden I can't mount any device in kde 4.4.2. Dolphin returns the same error when trying to mount anything. I didn't do any big update, it just stopped working 0_o.

Ok, in my case it seemed to be caused by consolekit starting before HAL due to parallel boot being turned on. After turning it off or putting consolekit in the boot runlevel everything works fine.
Which kde version are you talking about? Is this still happening with 4.4.4?
The solution is simple, make consolekit starting BEFORE hal.
Most likely this is related to the order of the services which are started. The configuration that is working for me right now, is to put consolekit and dbus into boot runlevel and hald into default runlevel. Furthermore you should look into /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf and make sure that somebody is allowed to access the hardware. A catch-all that most likely helps is to allow everybody in the wheel group give root access(this probably has side-effects...). the line would be: <define_admin_auth group="wheel"/> <match user="root"> <return result="yes"/> </match>
Furthermore you should check with ck-list-sessions that consolekit knows about your session. On a side note: The same issues are at the root if Powerdevil can't suspend to RAM.

I had this again with KDE 4.5 the solution was relatively simple, I compiled hal without policykit as it is the only package using policykit and not polkit. After that everything works fine. consolekit and polkit are enabled.
