Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

1. Plug in USB drive. Open Nautilus and try to open the volume. Error dialog with the message Not Authorized appears.

2. Nautilus opens the USB volume.

3. Nautilus gives an error and does not open the volume.

My /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf contained autologin-user=<user>.

Commenting out this line solved this issue for me. Autologin was not active - I had to login with password, and I never selected autologin.
