You may have found that the latest upgrade has killed auto-mounting usb devices such as sticks and hard-drives with pcmanfm giving an error thet device directory is not found or something like that (It happened to me)

The fix.
Edit /etc/PolicyKit/Policykit.conf to read like this.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->

<!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd">

<!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format -->

<config version="0.1">
    <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
        <return result="yes"/>
    </match>
</config>


You will need to reboot.

Thanks anti, this partially worked. I still get not able to mount messages but it does mount. The sticks have to be umounted via the terminal though.

Now on to the touchpad issues.

Does it ever end??
