Hi all!
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.

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>

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.

Oh, my user is in pludev (and has been since the beginning of this installation). Problem
