OK, i undid everything i had been trying and decided to try this path. i |
| 12 |
recompiled xfce4-session with policykit, consolekit and gnome. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
i don't have a graphical login manager, i start X with startx from the |
| 15 |
console, and my .xinitrc is simply: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
if i start X as root things work in a more or less satisfactory way: pen |
| 20 |
drives appear on the side bar on thunar and i can mount and eject them |
| 21 |
(not umount). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
but if i start X as a normal user, i get a "not authorized" message from |
| 24 |
thunar and i can't mount the devices. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
now, i belong to just about every group out there: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
root disk lp wheel audio cdrom video cdrw usb users lpadmin portage |
| 29 |
plugdev lj vboxusers scanner |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
any ideas why i don't have permissions to mount the usb drives? |
| 32 |
(also, after doing these changes i can't shutdown or reboot form xfce) |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
anyway, it seems i'm getting closer... a big thank you to all that have |
| 35 |
been following this thread, i hope i'll be able to resolve this last |
| 36 |
issue... |
