Howdy LQ. I responded to a thread about thumbdrive on linux, and provided a gentle introduction to interacting with a thumbdrive using the terminal console.
The Original Poster provided a screenshot of the tail end of the output of the dmesg command (right after inserting her thumbdrive into her linux computer), and I reproduce that screenshot below:
I don't recall having tweaked any setting to have "udiskctl mount" working without password in the same exact situation, but whatever happened, after the upgrade from Debian 10 to 11, it no longer worked.

Largely based on this answer on askubuntu. I hope nothing atrocious results from some situation where it ends up trying to mount something a given user should not, or something.

label=$(basename
So, it suddenly dawned on me that the permission denied thing may be related to the noexec option in /etc/fstab (I'm mounting /var on a different disk than /). Turns out I'd used the following mount option: UUID=b5ae50cf-58e6-46f8-8313-6c1492dcc8ad /var ext4 defaults,users 0 0 and, while defaults implies exec, users instead implies noexec - as the latter is last, it will override the previous one.
