Lucids upgrade to 4.4 beta breaks disk mounting?

[Kubuntiac]

Ever since the KDE 4.4 beta packages came in, I've been unable to mount drives either with the new "removable devices" section in system settings (although my drives are IDE/SCSI) or in Dolphin. I just get an error:

An error occurred while accessing 'Seagate15tb', the system responded:

org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied : Refusing to mount device /dev/sda1 for uid=1000

It's obviously permissions of some description, but I'm wondering how one would fix this. Do I need to add my user to the "disk" group or something like that?

I would like an answer as well. I checked fstab and compared to previous kde. They are the same.

edit: I can mount them using konsole, then dolphin will allow me to open the partition.

A bug report > Bug #500205: Dolphin in 4.4 Betas 1&2 Fails to mount internal drives other than root.

=> A workaround (working here) is to start the Dolphin as root (kdesudo dolphin) and then the mount is possible. The unmounting is possible as an ordinary user.

The bug #500205 has been marked duplicate of the > Bug #528907: unable to mount disks in dolphin / hal permission denied

Thanks for that bug report. I clicked "affects me too"

You're welcome. Thanks for +1'ing it!

Still trying to get this figured out. The PolKit suggestions I've had don't seem to have done anything, but I haven't had a chance to look into it further...

With the Karmic there was > Topic: Mount problem

Then there was missing/wrong items in the /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi and with the Lucid the movement away from the hal is continuing.

Interesting, is it still working? In KDE 4.4.1 in Karmic? (I am seeing this bug in current Lucid)

Thanks!
