Bug Description
intrepid , all alphas to date , I cannot mount the other internal linux drives in my box as "user" the drives appear in places>computer and the nautilus side panel but will not mount by clicking on them as user , I can mount them as root and they are then accessible as user for the remainder of the session . I had originaly included this with my comments on bug # 251991 and this is now marked as "fixed upstream" however the referenced fix only addresses mounted drives showing up twice and not the cannot mount as user . external devices or cd/dvd's automount on hotplugging or insertion of a disk .this bug is similar to bug#159190 which I reported in hardy and was fixed there by an update but it has now recured in intrepid .
note! the "mounted drives show up twice " (bug#251991) has been fixed and this bug is still there , I still cannot mount the other drives/partitions on my system as user .
