2007-04-26 08:48:20 Kevin Francis description Please note that I found an identical bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdelibs/+bug/98751. However due to the fact that it remains unresolved, and is for a different version of the bug (the beta release of Feisty apparently) I am not sure whether I should comment there. Add to that the fact that I can't figure out how to resolve which package is in error here since it involves dbus, hal, konqueror and a few libraries, I am unwilling to commit it there. After upgrading to Feisty I can no longer mount external USB hard drives. Note that I can mount flash based media with no problems -- they still behave as before. Upon plugging in a USB drive, the KDE dialog pops up asking me what I'd like to do. When I click 'Open in a new window' nothing happens. Attempts to mount it via Konqueror's storage media view are futile as well. However, attempts to mount the drive manually are successful. If I navigate to the 'Storage Media' screen in Konqueror, and attempt to access the drive (it appears there, unmounted) I receive this error message: `hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000` Below, I have included the /var/log/messages output.

2008-01-17 15:22:06 icky999 hal: statusexplanation Hi I am a complete novice on Linux and don.t really understand how to change settings? I have a 160 gig Toshiba external HD and have until recently been able to mount this drive and back up or access my photos private info etc but am now unable to mount this HD. I have tried to mount using right click reloading the drive, rebooting the system and getting updates just in case that cured my problem but to no avail. I would appreciate any help that would resolve this problem for me. I changed from Windows because I was fed up with all their problems etc, and until now have been happy with Linux, it has done almost all I have asked of it. I am running Fiesty Fawn not sure which version, but constantly apply updates as they appear.
