[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#767233: Have been hit by the same permissions error in udisks2

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,

Have been hit by the same permissions error in udisks2 as Pier Paolo

@Pier Paolo  I tried your patch but didn't work. I still get the 'Not
authorized to perform operation' error as seen by you as well. Have
attached a picture to confirm the same.

My /etc/fstab looks like the following :-

[$] cat /etc/fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /data was on /dev/sda8 during installation
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /data           ext4    defaults        0       2
# /home was on /dev/sda7 during installation
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /home           ext4    defaults        0       2
# swap was on /dev/sda9 during installation
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/sr0        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
tmpfs      /tmp        tmpfs nodev,nosuid,relatime,size=3G   0       0

So as can be seen there is nothing about any /dev/sdb1 devices.

Your 'patch' didn't work at all.

I did try some other things as well.

[$] udisksctl info -b /dev/sdb1

    Type:               0x07
    UUID:              xxxxxxxxxxxxx


Note - I have just replaced some of the info. needed by xxxxxxx for
privacy reasons making sure that the technical bits that are needed
are there.

Mounting by hand had the desired result :-

─[$] udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb1
Mounted /dev/sdb1 at /media/shirish/FreeAgent Drive.

and this is also seen by :-

[$] udisksctl info -b /dev/sdb1 | grep MountPoints
    MountPoints:        /media/shirish/FreeAgent Drive

I looked at the listing and for sure they were all listed with user's
ownership, not root's .

[$] ll | more /media/shirish/FreeAgent\ Drive
total 1272564
-rw-r--r--  1 shirish shirish   1418441 Feb  4 00:41 008.pdf

I was even able to unmount it properly.

─[$] udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdb1
Unmounted /dev/sdb1.

So the issue seems to lie somewhere else.
