Running latest gnome 2.30 When attaching an USB disk, I get an error dialog "Unable to mount location Not authorized". udisks --monitor-detail shows the device being recognized but then I only get the error message; OTOH manually running «udisks --mount /dev/sdb1» as regular user works, so my guess is that something wrong is happening with polkit permissions wrt. automounting. If I try to unmount the disk using Nautilus, unmounting works but I get another error dialog: "Unable to stop drive Not authorized". Is it possible to trace polkitd or dbus just like with the udisks daemon ?

Please attach ~/.xsession-errors file just after getting the error
Found a fix on the ArchLinux forum(http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92506): the session should be started with «ck-start-session gnome-session»
Oops, that should be ck-launch-session
More specifically, I created ~/.gnomerc and put «exec ck-launch-session gnome-session "${@}"» into it, and gdm now starts the session correctly
Are you using gdm for login in? What gdm version are you using?
Probably the same as bug 257763
I'm using gdm 2.20.11 It's probably the same bug, although I'm surprised that automounting worked until 2.30 - perhaps because previously nautilus used HAL ?
I take it back. After rebooting the system it stopped working, even if using ck-launch-session. I'll remove consolekit and recompile everything that depends on it, then try again
(if I don't misremember, nautilus relies on g-d-u for this)
I checked again, and palimpsest(g-d-u's GUI) works but nautilus doesn't. Also, nautilus-2.30-r1.ebuild doesn't depend on g-d-u at all, so I'm not sure how it's mounting disks
gvfs[gdu] pulls it in iirc
(In reply to comment #2) > Please attach ~/.xsession-errors file just after getting the error > This is still missing ;-), thanks
no error message is output to ~/.xsession-errors when the mounting fails
Do you suffer the same problem on a new created user account? Are you using gvfs-1.6.2 ? Have you updated your gnome packages using list attached in bug 324077 ?
All my GNOME packages were already up-to-date, including gvfs, but trying with a fresh user worked.
(In reply to comment #16) > All my GNOME packages were already up-to-date, including gvfs, but trying with > a fresh user worked. > Then this is caused by some old configuration in your home directory (and then, this bug will be closed). To see this reopened, please post exact steps for reproducing the bug on new created user account Best regards
Any idea on how to debug this ? I'd rather not have to wipe out ~/.gconf entirely

F.ex: mv .gnome2 .gnome2_backup; relogin; see if it works, etc. Once you find the offending directory, try it with it's sub directories and so on.
