PolicyKit, permission denied…

figotip.jpgThe process of search of the acquaintance often is studded of failures and, sometimes, the best ones discovered take the way from such errors. I do not speak broadly speaking about the acquaintance, or however not only, also the learning processes characterize them are subject to these dynamics; as an example it has happened to modernize to mine opensuse 11 to me on virtualbox and discovering an error to the mounting of vboxadditions:
org.freedesktop. Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable not <- (action, result).
I would have never imagined that my modernization introduced modifications to the operation of PolicyKit, the framework used from HAL for the advanced management of the accesses protect to the resources, practically an application can turn with the privileges of the customer and demand the access like root only when closely necessary, and that the solution was this sempilce modification in the section delimited from the tag of the /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf rows:

<match action=” org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable” >
<return result=” yes”/>
</match>
