I apologise for not opening a new bug, but I think my observations of a clean karmic install would be helpful because I had the same symptoms - both usb memory stick and greyed-out admin-users authenticate. Following this particular bug helped me because I found a different entry in /var/log/daemon.log:
gdm-binary: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf': no such file or directory Sure enough, the file hadn't been created during my (clean partition, remember?) installation. I found the default file on another karmic system that I'd recently upgraded from jaunty - the file contains a load of comments and 8 empty clauses. I copied this file to my defective system, rebooted and now everything runs fine! -- cannot mount usb volumes: "Not authorized", after upgrade to Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478274 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
