When i try to open a external hard disk, for example, dolphin report me an error Not Authorized.
I can open and use this hard disks only with dolphin opened by the root user.
What filesystem is on that disk?
Also, please run the command 'mount' as root and show us the line for the drive

The file system is fat32 or ntfs.
Example command
mount /dev/sdb3 /media/drive3[code]
This works without problem and dolphin see the folder.
What are the autorisations of the mountpoint?
# ls -al /media

In this list are present only the devices mounted in the system.
Please enter the command as root, as the character # indicates. And also the command that devil requested. It works is not a good answer. We like to see the output.

This is the list of hard disk the ntfs system are not mounted but are in a second hard disk.
If i insert a usb pen they have fat32.
Thanks for the help
On kde forums say the problem it's polkit http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=224&t=120938
You could try to remove the package usbmount if installed, this is known for creating strange things in mounting external devices.
usbmount it's not installed :-\
any help?
I would never consider myself expert at this, but that is exactly what would happen if you have not installed policykit-1. If you aren't using the new release, have you by any chance held off switching to systemd?
I have installed systemd months ago but yesterday i have checked that missing the package
systemd-sysv
The problem persist and now in the desktop i get an error of klauncher for the folder view that not work.
Your system seems broken in a way that we can't determine. So it is down to guesswork. Please paste what apt-get update && apt-get install kde-standard does for you? Also please paste the output of dpkg -l | grep policykit

The only package missing are:
plasma-containments-addons plasma-runners-addons kdeplasma-addons libastro1 libmarblewidget18 plasma-wallpapers-addons plasma-widget-lancelot
The other reported:
dragonplayer juk kde-standard kmail kopete sweeper
But i don't use so i don't install
root@siduction:/home/mte90# dpkg -l | grep policykit
ii policykit-1 0.112-2 amd64 framework for managing administrative policies and privileges
The problems with the folder view now are fixed :-D

Hello Mte90 and delta9!
With policykit-1 version 0.105-6 your issue will be solved,
but it depends on libpam-systemd which depends on systemd-sysv.
So you need to decide if you want to install systemd-sysv (aka conversion to systemd).
greetings
musca
Uhm the libpam-systemd package missing my pc, installed (i have already systemd).
At the next boot i check if now works :-)
perfect now works :P :D
after installing policykit-1 udisks2 im fine as well
