USB Pendrive Problem

errorsunknownp · 02-21-2009, 06:46 AM

When I try to open pen drive, it shows:

A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")

This is caused by the hal daemon not allowing you to access the device because of a security policy.

GIYF: just google the entire error message - this is the first hit ...

Put the username into the the plugdev group either editing the /etc/goup file or

Code:

useradd -G plugdev username

It is possible to activate this by running some startup script like udev, hal, but I think you'd better go rebooting the system.
Ciao
edit:

Code:

useradd -g plugdev username

the previous add a user to a non existing group (and create it of course)
