Sorry if this has been asked before, but I just upgraded to Fedora 7 and
when I plug in my USB stick I get "Error
org.freedesktop.Hal.PermissionDenied." The Details box says "Not in
active session".
Are you running in run level 3 or 5? If in run level 5, do you have more then one GUI login at the same time?

Level 5, only one user (+root). Not more than one GUI login. Any idea
how to set the permissions? Do I need to edit /etc/fstab, or some
hotplug config file?

I believe the message is generated when HAL tries to run as a user other then the one that "owns" the console. For example, when I am logged into the GUI as mikkel, then the USB stick will be mounted on a mount point off of /media, and if it has the usual VFAT file system, then the owner will be mikkel.mikkel so that I can access the files. If it has a file system that does support UID/GID, then those will apply instead.

You should not need to edit anything, unless you have an entry in /etc/fstab for the USB stick. This would prevent HAL from auto-mounting it. You can check /var/log/messages to see if there are more details about why it failed.
