In Lucid, hal does not use policykit any more, since the old policykit 0.9 stack is deprecated and removed, and hal itself is deprecated and thus does not get ported to polkit-1 any more. Access is now controlled through /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf, which should allow mounting internal storage devices for users which are on a local foreground console. This is slightly more open than we prefer, though.
Is Kubuntu even using that? When we dropped policykit from hal in Karmic, we did not yet allow access to org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage, and it was working just fine. At that time I was told that Kubuntu uses a kdesu wrapper to mount system- internal storage. Can some Kubuntu developer please give a quick explanation of how mounting system internal partitions is supposed to work these days? I'm happy to help working out a solution, I'm subscribed to the bug now. -- unable to mount disks in dolphin / hal permission denied https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528907 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
