[Bug 257028] [NEW] IsCallerPrivileged error when trying to mount USB media

[Chip Rosenthal]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-kio-plugins

Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release:        8.04
kdebase-kio-plugins 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.3

Recently, mounting of USB devices has stopped working. I've seen this
with both USB memory stick and MP3 player.

The symptom is that when I insert the unmounted device I get the icon in
my task bar.

When I click and select mount I get a popup window that says:

    IsCallerPrivileged() failed

See attached screenshot.

The same thing happens when I run from the command line:

    $ kio_media_mounthelper -m media:/sdd1

Other uses are reporting this problem too:
