Hi all!
I just ran into an interesting problem on rasperrypi: I cannot mount any flashdrive using
TDE. udisks2 is installed, my user in group "disk". I get:
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown
return code 127"
Does anybody know what "Launch helper" this refers to and/or what I can do to
solve this?

uninstall tdeio_media_mounthelper.
It's always causing problems.
Log out, back in and give it a go.
Good luck human,
Kate
PS let me know it that worked for you too.

Hi Kate,
you shouldn't uninstalled that, really. You will miss out on additional
functionality.
I can't speak for R14.0.x with 100% awareness, but in R14.1.0, tdeio_media_mounthelper
is very important to be able to
mount/unmount/unlock/lock disks from various part of the DE.
Problems with udisks2 are at a lower level. They may get highlighed by the use of
tdeio_media_mounthelper, but removing
tdeio_media_mounthelper is not the right solution, jsut a workaround maybe :-)
Cheers

14.1 works like a charm on my thinkpads and desktops - same version as on raspberrypi. I
tried to get a hint with
$ strace -f /opt/trinity/bin/tdeio_media_mounthelper -f -m media:/dev/sdb 2>&1
but this does not give any hint on what went wrong :/

Ok, in response to myself:
tdeio_media_mounthelper calls udisksctl which needs libpolkit-gobject-1.so.0 which is not
installed by default. Installing libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 solves the problem,
mounting and unmounting now works like a charm.
Looks like an upstream problem to me: udisksctl is in package udisks2 but that does not
have "libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0" as a requirement.
Anyhow, could TDE work around that problem and include
"libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0" in the list of requirements alogside
"udisks2" ?

Ok reinstalling tdeio tonight along with libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0
Report tomorrow.
