This one has me puzzled. I am running Sid with Xfce on my laptop and just now plugged in a USB flash drive. When the icon displayed on the desktop I right-clicked and selected Open and then was prompted for an application to open the directory. I chose File Manager (Thunar) and received the dialog again.
I found the drive mounted for root read and write access only: drwxr-x--- 3 root root 4096 Dec 14 12:35 nate/ yet mount seems to hint that it should be available to me: /dev/sdb1 on /media/nate/B6A0-ED18 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2) FTR, 1000 is the UID and GID of my logged in user. There is no stanza in /etc/fstab for /dev/sdb1 so it is mounted per defaults. Is the trouble coming from udisks2? Or, do I need to write some obscure udev rule to be able to read and write to this drive? - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
