I just plugged in a external hdd and I'm getting that message, never go this before in any Slack install I've had.
Code:
Not authorized to perform option (polkit authority not available and caller is not uid 0)
this is in e16, but I've still been able to auto mount in it, that is / was a plus.
I created a dir/sub-dir and added this file to the location I put in the file to let me know where it goes if i ever need it again. It was something I needed when I used Debian.
nope, didn't work... so I am posting and searching..
found this...

Thanks to Robby Workman.
automount no longer works in wmaker either, just tried it. Updates are current, as I just updated it before posting to make sure, and see if that would fix this, and nope, it didn't.
Just tried plugging in my Kingston USB thumb drive on two of my Slackware64-current units. It auto-mounted.
yeaaahhhhhhhh ... that is xfce4 I'd expect it to work... I use WM not DT for the most part. / still that does not fix this, as it did work, and has always worked with Slack, if this were a different distro I'd expect as much, but this is Slackware... Goooo Slack!
swap it to wmaker and let me know. I'll swap mine to xfce4 and check...
I was soooo wrong... xfce4 nope... 4TB_esaystore no mount
let me reboot this thing and see if that will fix it.
