Description Daniele Tombolini 2009-08-21 12:41:47 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2; Linux) KHTML/4.2.4 (like Gecko) SUSE

Two hd, sda->11.1, sdb->11.2 M5
On 11.1 dolphin show (panel on left side) all partitions from sdb, on 11.2, all partitions from sda.

If you click on one them an error appear:
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always

Dolphin should ask for root's password and let user accessing partition in RW.

If this is not possible, hide all partitions to avoid confusion..

I think that this bug is in some way related to #340723

kde-4.2.* on 11.1 and 4.3 on 11.2



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Dolphin
2.click on partition/volume
3. see the error
Actual Results:  
error

Expected Results:  
ask for root's password and let user opening partition
Comment 1 Daniele Tombolini 2009-08-23 16:22:51 UTC 
Well, missing/incomplete integration with policykit.
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179678

my workaround: changed policy in /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.hal.storage.policy for fixed-storage.

allow_active -> yes.

Is it a securety hole ? Maybe...

polkit-auth --obtain org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed, being added to livecd session helps too.
