  Hi all,

when I try to mount a just inserted usb key, either right clicking on it
on the desktop or using the storage media applet, I get an
kio_media_mounthelper error message :
"The option 'locale=' is not allowed for uid=1000"
Any solution ?
thanks,

Denis

I have not encountered this problem under Ubuntu, however a quick Google
search turned up this thread for Debian:

I looked at this thread. A few comments :

1) for me, this problem only happens with trinity : under gnome or xfce, I have no problem mounting my USB key through nautilus or thunar

2) this problem seems related to ntfs. What is strange is that my usb key uses an ext2 filesystem, not an ntfs one.

3) As the problem seemed related to hal, I tried two things :
    a) create the /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ntfsmount.fdi file that is given at the end of the thread and restart hal, but that does not solve the problem
    b) copy /etc/hal from an Ubuntu 10.04 install, as you said it worked for you on Ubuntu, and restart hal. Still no success.

4) I also tried something I saw on another thread : "ln -s /usr/bin/ntfs-3g /sbin/mount.ntfs"  but again no change.

I don't know what else I could try.
I guess other debian testing users mut meet the same problem so it would be nice if it could be fixed on the trinity side (I guess it is difficult to ask debian people for a debian side fix, since trinity is not - at least today - officially supported).

If you want me to perform some more investigations on my system, just tell me what.

Regards

Denis
