[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#894092: udisks2: permission refused when trying to mount a removable device

[Yves-Alexis Perez]

Package: udisks2
Version: 2.7.6-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

since a recent sid update (maybe not directly in udisks2 but something
related) I can't mount a removable device. I run Xfce with policykit
normally configured but when trying to mount a device I get:

udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb1
Error mounting /dev/sdb1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.NotAuthorized: Not authorized to perform operation (polkit authority not available and caller is not uid 0)

I'm unsure which “polkit autority” udisks is referring to, but I'm
normally supposed to be able do mount stuff:

pkaction|grep mount
org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount
org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-other-seat
org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system
org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-unmount-others

If you need any more information feel free to ask. Feel free to reassign
to a different package if this is the wrong one (but network-manager
seems to work fine and I can suspend/resume from the Xfce menu, so this
permission issue looks really restricted to udisks for now.

Regards,
