From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Using 'Disk Management', I cannot mount my devices as a normal user. I have SELinux installed with the policy as "targeted". According to an article I read in Redhat magazine, my fstab file should allow a normal user to mount devices since the line for the devices contains 'pamconsole' and 'managed'. When I click on the 'Disk Management' when logged in under my normal user id, I am told that there are no filesystems that I am allowed to mount. I can mount the devices as root from the command line. I can also use KDE's kwikdisk to mount devices as a normal user. I should be able to use "Disk Management" to mount my devices. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): usermode-gtk-1.74-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.From the "System Tools" menu, click "Disk Management" 2.Error message displayed: "There are not filesytems which you are allowed to mount or unmount. 3.Click OK to clear dialog 4.Remain frustrated that I cannot mount devices as a normal user using "Disk Management" Expected Results: Using "Disk Management", I should be able to select the device that I want to mount and have it mounted. When finished what I am doing, I should be able to unmount the device. Additional info:
This problem has been solved. The solution was an upgrade to usermode and usermode-gtk. I have version 1.74 of these packages on my system. Neither Redhat Update Agent nor any yum repository flagged these packages as needing to be upgraded. However, I found a post that stated that the solution was to upgrade to version 1.76. rpmfind.net had version 1.78 of these packages and I upgraded them and now I can use Device Manager to mount my devices.
Coleen, I've done some fixes related to this issue in usermode. The problem was mainly in misunderstandings between hal and usermount. The version 1.76-1 contains a fix for this. Thanks for your report, Jindrich
