Bad news: No my work-around of restarting the HAL daemon is no longer working - all that's left is to mount new devices manually at a shell prompt. Some updates have been applied since my last comment:
Kernel 2.6.24-24-generic Hal: 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu7 DBus: 1.1.20-1ubuntu3.3 After a reboot, however, everything works again - at least for some hours. Latest after 48h, it breaks again. Did not yet try to simply restart KDE instead of rebooting (which would reveal the entire issue clearly related to KDE), will do that next. But again to make it clear: Neither a reboot nor a KDE restart can be a permanent solution to the issue. Once I have my desktop arranged and am in the middle of work, with a couple of apps open, both would always mean to redo those steps. You can imagine this not being any fun when one is in the middle of some work to be done. This is clearly a show- stopper which should urgently be fixed (not waiting for the next LTS). -- IsCallerPrivileged error when trying to mount USB media https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257028 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
