[Bug 528907] Re: unable to mount disks in dolphin / hal permission denied

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package hal - 0.5.14-0ubuntu5

---------------
hal (0.5.14-0ubuntu5) lucid; urgency=low

  * Revert the previous change. We do not want any user to modify internal
    system partitions without any authentication, it creates too much of a
    security hole. Instead, the patch in kdelibs should be fixed, after all it
    worked fine in karmic and earlier. (LP: #528907)
