[Bug 629840] [NEW] [maverick] kde: "Could not mount the following device" when trying to mount previously opened LUKS usb drive

[Daniel Hahler]

Public bug reported:

After attaching a removable USB device, I can use the device notifier to open its cryptsetup/LUKS container.
After entering the passphrase, another device turns up in the device list, having 3 actions attached like normal USB sticks.

But when trying to mount the device (using the "mount" icon), or trying to invoke any of the associated actions, I get the error:
"Could not mount the following device: X GiB External Hard Drive"

My guess is that it's related to missing PolicyKit
configuration/permissions.

However, this is probably supposed to work without any configuration
from my side.

(I can mount this manually using an existing fstab entry, via sudo)
