Re: jessie/kde: o,ly root can read usb sticks



Hi Frank and thanks for your reply,

I think i had read a similar suggestion on the net, but mountpoints
are not called usbX in my case. They are called userid/keylabel
(e.g: /media/baldyeti/my4GBkey). These are created (and deleted)
dynamically and have no corresponding line in fstab.

Anyway prompted by your post I looked a little closer at those nodes
created under /media. I deleted the /media/baldyeti directory, and
tada, dolphin was then able to mount a usb key under my regular
account. It recreated the same folder structure or so it seems but at
least now it is working.

Cheers,

--bald

Hi!

Had the same problem with DebianEdu Jessie and found mountpount
/media/usb0 defined in /etc/fstab. Deleting the line resulted in
mounting usb-sticks in /media/[username] with appropriate rights.

Hello, under wheezy i had no problem mounting usb keys
with dolphin and reading their content. Under jessie
only root can do so (and the mount point dynamically
created under /media is owned by root indeed).

Can someone suggest a remedy ?
