Bug Description
In Karmic, every time I open a new session (even if the user is not sudo-enabled), I'm asked for my password to "automount" a partition.
- I don't want to
- This is a backup partition : I don't want it to be automounted
- A normal user won't be able to mount it because root privilege is needed, so it shouldn't be asking for
See the attachement, you can see the dialog asking for automounting my partiion. Sorry, it's partially french.
- I think automounting of root-privileges needing partitions should be desactivated by default
- Mounting root-privileges needing partitions for a normal user shouldn't even ask for the password given the access is denied anyway. Another idea would be giving the choice between all sudo-enabled users in the dialog asking for password, and the good password could be given. It would be nice for administrators when they are in a normal user session.
