Accessing USB drive via Konqueror fails
Hello,
accessing an USB drive via Konqueror using an URL like system:/media/sda2
recently gives "Rights denied" (straightforward translation
from "Berechtigungen verweigert", probably means access denied). It
worked for a long while without a problem, but now it doesn't work
anymore - and I have not the foggiest what change might trigger this. I
searched around a lot, but didn't found anything.
Anyone else having this problem? Before writing a bug report I thought I
ask here.
Using pmount as the user I logged in with works okay.
User martin is in group plugdev (as well as in group hal, but that
shouldn't be necessary I think, probably it might not even be wise).
The device files are available:
deepdance:~> ls -l /dev/sda*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 2006-11-28 20:36 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2006-11-28 20:36 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 2006-11-28 20:36 /dev/sda2
User "martin" is not in group disk, but AFAIK this shouldn't be necessary
to mount, as pmount runs setuid root:
deepdance:~> ls -l $(which pmount)
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root plugdev 29280 2006-09-11 13:48 /usr/bin/pmount
This is with Debian Etch/Sid/Unstable using following package versions:
deepdance:~> dpkg -l | cut -c1-70 | egrep "(hal|dbus|udev|konqueror|
kdebase-kio)"
ii dbus 1.0.1-2
ii dbus-1-doc 1.0.1-2
ii dbus-1-utils 1.0.1-2
ii hal 0.5.8.1-4
ii hal-device-manager 0.5.8.1-4
ii kdebase-kio-plugins 3.5.5a.dfsg.1-1
ii konqueror 3.5.5a.dfsg.1-1
ii konqueror-nsplugins 3.5.5a.dfsg.1-1
ii libdbus-1-2 0.62-4
ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.1-2
ii libdbus-1-dev 1.0.1-2
ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.71-3
ii libdbus-qt-1-1c2 0.62.git.20060814-2
ii libhal-storage1 0.5.8.1-4
ii libhal1 0.5.8.1-4
ii python-dbus 0.71-3
ii udev 0.100-2.3
So, now mounting the thing via command line interface using "pmount"...
Regards,
