Thanks for reporting. Can you check whether the 1.3.1-0ubuntu3 version of gvfs fixes this?

[David Stansby (dstansby-deactivatedaccount)]

I'm afraid to say that the new version of gvfs hasn't stopped the problem from occurring.

Confirming this behavior in karmic 64-bit, gvfs 1.3.1-0ubuntu3, kernel 2.6.30-10.12. Very annoying as it asks for Admin Authentication during start-up, and Preferences | Authorizations does not allow me to change the auth level for mounting internal disks........

Are you sure it's policykit? and not gvfs or libgdu?

[David Stansby (dstansby-deactivatedaccount)]

I'm not sure it's policykit, and the only reason I thought it might be is because that is the process asking me to automount.

If it helps, here is a screenshot of the window with details.

Could somebody check if this is a duplicate of bug 396448 ? (Or if that one's a duplicate)

[Hernando Torque (htorque)]

Seems to be duplicate. The mentioned steps to reproduce show exactly what's described in this bug report.

[Philip Muškovac (yofel)]

I've marked this bug a duplicate of bug 396448 since the other one provides more accurate information.
