Why in the heck the following wasn't good enough escapes me at present:

That's says let *me* do anything with anything (twice I might add). I guess in addition to giving yourself global authorization you also have to give yourself specific authorization as well.

Also, why do you have .eject-removable commented out?


I really have no idea. I don't even understand this console kit/policy kit stuff, frankly.

But in a nutshell, when you take out all the comments, my policy kit file essentially boils down to:

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

Dunno ... seems to work.  Have you tried that?

BTW, maybe it's not sufficient to restart hal, since theis isn't technically a HAL file, but rather a policy kit file. So I'd suggest logging out and then in again after the change.

HTH,
