Description Marek Sapota 2010-04-29 09:22:10 UTC

After update to coreutils-8.5 my KDE desktop can no longer suspend or mount external drives.  Mounting fails with error "could not determine whether caller is privileged".  After going back to coreutils-8.4 mounting works as expected.

Reproducible: Always

I'm not convinced it's coreutils fault, more like dbus upgrade. See bug 314185.

At any rate, you need to provide more detailed output of the problem, emerge --info, KDE version, dbus version, etc.

I don't know what it has to do with anything either, but I didn't update dbus and only thing I changed to make things work again was to install coreuitls-8.4. KDE version is 4.4.2, dbus version is 1.2.24, hal version is 0.5.14-r2.

Please paste your "emerge -pv coreutils hal dbus" output.

Comment 6 Marek Sapota 2010-05-05 11:01:48 UTC

Ok, that was not coreutils, it seems to happen randomly after restart - no updates since I filed this bug and today suddenly I can't mount my disc while I was able to do this yesterday.

Comment 7 Marek Sapota 2010-05-05 18:18:06 UTC

Found probable cause of my problem.
