Hi, A similar issue exists for me too. It works if I use gdm3 or lightdm as my desktop manager, but there are some other issues these window managers pose, which make them not worth switching to. So, I use xdm. I start xsession using, ck-launch-session dbus-launch xmonad But I still get "Not Authorized" errors with udisks. How do others handle this?

Dear All,

I am a fresh user of xmonad. A month ago I installed Arch and decided to give xmonad a try. So far the experience was great and I really don't feel like "coming back" at least when it comes to personal computer.

I believe I can already do most of the things I need to do, but now I am trying to make the system a bit more convenient. One of the things on my todo list is automounting file system

It has to be said that I got a little bit stuck with that. I would like to use udiskie. I read on Arch websites about permissions and necessity of installing consolekit. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udiskie

I've done that and currently my last line of .xinitrc is

exec ck-launch-session bash -c "udiskie& dwm"

Unfortunately when I run this my log files show only failed to mount device /org/freedesktop/Udisks/devices/sdb1: org.freedesktop.Udisks.Error.PermissionDenied: Not Authorized

What am I doing wrong? I have a feeling that I am missing something important. Have you been able to run xmonad together with udiskie. Any hints or assistance will be greatly appreciated. By the way, are there any better alternatives?

Robert

PS I have also checked that the storage option works for me, although CDs are not automounted still.
