Hi,
since last d-u I can't mount external drives from "DeviceNotifier".
seit dem letzten d-u kann ich keine externen Laufwerke mit der Geräteüberwachung mounten.
"Ein nicht genauer angegebener Fehler ist aufgetreten: Not authorized"
Any ideas/Lösungsvorschläge?

What file system?

The first message I received with a NTFS-Partition. With a FAT32 partition I get
Method FilesystemMount" with signature "sas" on interface "org.freedesktop.UDisks.Device" doesn't exist
Last but not least wth ext4 again "Not authrized"
I crosschecked with a new installed siduction on my notebook and everything seems to be fine. I love it...

hello orinoco,
I suspect you may have old mountpoints in the /media directory that have wrong owner + group (root root).
I suggest you remove them.
Before i plug in my USB stick my /media is empty:
musca@sidbox:~$ ls -l /media
total 0
After plugging in and selecting open with filemanager there is a mountpoint that belongs to the user musca:
musca@sidbox:~$ ls -l /media
total 8
drwx------ 7 musca musca 8192 Jan 1 1970 Spaceloop
After removing from "device notifier" /media is clean again:
musca@sidbox:~$ ls -l /media
total 0
Authorization is done via policykit-1, and the package usbmount is not needed (i removed it recently).
Please check theese packages:
chilan@sidbox:~$ dpkg -l | grep -e 'policykit-1' -e 'usbmount'
ii policykit-1 0.105-5 amd64 framework for managing administrative policies and privileges
rc usbmount 0.0.22 all automatically mount and unmount USB mass storage devices

Hi,
this weekend I had more time to investigate the problem. The few weeks old siduction installation on my notebook helped me a lot. I compared journald output and came to the conclusion that on my notebook a process called usbmount seems to do the mounting. On my desktop I can't see this. I checked if a package like usbmount is installed. It wasn't. After installing and a reboot I thought I made it. My external device gets mounted. But my two external hdds gets mounted automatically. I looked into /media and found lots of usb mountpoints numbered form 0 to 7 and a symlink from usb to usb0. I removed them and rebooted the computer again. Now I seems that mounting devices from the notifier is working fine again.

Hello orinoco,
in my opinion usbmount is not needed and only removing the mountpoints solved it. But I guess we will never know ...
This thread will be marked as [solved] though.
