Bug Description
1) Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 build upgraded from 9.04 jaunty (with dist-upgrade)
2) This bug is related to devicekit-disks
When I try to unmount a removal media, say, a CD-ROM, Ubuntu 9.10 asks for my password before it can execute the operation. Unmounting USB and CD-ROM drives should be possible for a user without entering a password.
Steps to reproduce : Insert a CD in your drive. On your desktop, right click on the automounted drive and select "eject" or "unmount". You will then get the "Authentification is required to unmount devices mounted by another user" message.
