I have problems with usb mount is breaking in live (and xbmcbuntu) when some gnome components are added.
gnome installs policykit-1 and I guess that could be the problem?
Here is my logg http://pastebin.com/3tkF550q
The installation is a xbmcbuntu setup with grub legacy.
If I install gnome-core and startx it does not mount usb either. I get the message "not authorized". It turns out if you dont use gdm life in karmic is very different.
This I finally managed to fix this by:
This fixed a lot of problems but xbmc live still does not mount usb.
How exactly does live mount usb? I was looking in the diskmount script, is that still used? If so how is it fired, it has to be run by root?
