iPod always mounted as root upon connection

[Matteo Settenvini]

In Jaunty I hadn't this problem, so it's a regression for me.

Whenever I plug in my FAT32 iPod classic, it gets mounted as root instead of my current user, making impossible writing to it with e.g. gtkpod. I've got to sudo unmount it via shell, and then using gnome-mount -d /dev/sdc1 makes the correct thing.

/etc/fstab doesn't contain anything pertinent. Other USB media devices are mounted correctly with ownership set to the current user.

Please tell what other informations I could provide.

I'm getting this too, except gnome-mount -d also mounts as root.

Correction, if you unmount it from the desktop first, then you can mount it via command line as user.

I can confirm this behaviour. But gnome-mount -d mounts correctly for me:

Thanks for sending this upstream.

This isn't just a nautilus problem. It happens in kubuntu as well

This also occurs in Mint 14
I found a post with a workaround for this bug. It was posted by Sooz Not OpenSuse at

I removed USBmount as suggested and I can again load songs onto my ipod
There are errors that pop up, but acknowledging them still loads the songs
