 |
|
Recently, I have lost capability to mount drives from KDE environment.
For quite some time already, I am also unable to control Network Manager using Plasma widgets which happened after a polkit update.
In order to bring back filesystem mounting permissions, I generated the following rule file:
| Code: |
# cat /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/02-org.freedesktop.udisks2.rules
// Let users in plugdev group mount drives
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount" &&
subject.isInGroup("plugdev") && subject.active) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
}); |
When I try to mount a usb drive, I get:
| Code: |
# POLKIT_DEBUG=1 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd -r
Successfully changed to user polkitd

User leo is in a plugdev group. Everything should be fine, but is not.
Please help me understand what I am doing wrong and fix the issue.
EDIT: In the end, the whole issue turned out to be caused by a forgotten hidepid mount option for /proc system. |
