Default Error mounting flashdrive - solved

Error: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <-- (action, result)

found this , I don't know what Lunar is but the policykit addition solved my problem:

Hello,

if you use kde3 (or other DM) in Lunar and insert pendrive or any other hot
plugable device the kde will show you option to mount it. If an user will
agree to mount it the error will appear:
"org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <-- (action, result)"

There is easy fix for this error. Just define security rules
in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf like these:

<config version="0.1">

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<match user="Put user account name here">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed">
<match user="Put user account name here">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>

</config>

First rule allows automounting pendrives, the second one is for fixed disks
like hard drives.

have a nice day,
Zbigniew 'zbiggy' Luszpinski
