1 I have been looking at this problem for a while and just after I sent
2 the email looking for help I found the solution which was to create the
3 file ~/.xinitrc with the following contents:
4
5 export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-
6 exec ck-launch-session gnome-session

20 For a while now when I insert a CD / DVD or a USB pen drive on my PC, it
21 will not mount, and GNOME gives an error.
22
23 If it is the DVD the error is as follows:
24 Unable to mount "DVDLABEL"
25 Not Authorized
26
27 If it is the USB pen drive the error is similar:
28 Unable to mount File System 1,0GB
29 Not Authorized
30
31 If I login as root then there is no problem, the disks will mount (and
32 automount correctly), but if I login as a "normal" user it will not
33 automount, and even if I go through the menu and select the drive it
34 will not mount giving exactly the same error.
35
36 One interesting note is that I can mount and unmount using gnome-mount
37 and gnome-unmount utilities, for example:
38
39 $ gnome-mount -d /dev/sdb1
40 $ gnome-umount -d /dev/sdb1
41
42 Can anybody help me with this problem?
