Yesterday I did a dist-upgrade. Today I'm greeted with an error message from konqueror when I connect a usb flash drive:

Unable to mount this device. Technische Details: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.NotAuthorizedCanObtain: Not authorized to perform operation

Any idea where this comes from and what I can do to resolve that problem? Mounting/unmounting worked prior to the update.

Addon:

$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount === Legitimierung ist zum Einhängen von Generic Flash Disk (/dev/sdb) notwendig Authenticating as: ,,, (nik) Password: ==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE === Mounted /dev/sdb at /media/8GB nik@t61:~$

Why the heck is it asking me for my password ???

You need to modify org.freedesktop.UDisks2.policy (probably at /usr/share/polkit-1/actions but this could be distro specific)

Search in for org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount, then scroll down to <defaults> block and replace whatever auth rule there is with "yes", like this: <allow_any>yes</allow_any> <allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive> <allow_active>yes</allow_active>

Now that worked perfectly :)

I do not ask who to hell thinks changing that settings is a good idea. And moving it to a place where nobody would look. I realy do not ask this. As I know, freedesktop has something to do with GNOMEs - a species I do not especially like.

I think it were better to check the group membership of the user I think it is the group plugdev

Oh, my user is in pludev (and has been since the beginning of this installation). Problem were definitly the userfriendly changes in org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount
