[Bug 297479] Re: USB flash mount. Hardcoded UID = 500

[Morgan Collett]

Sugar 0.83 already has a new datastore, which does not yet support
USB/removable storage, and the journal has been refactored heavily and
included in the sugar shell.

I've logged this bug upstream anyway in the hope that we can patch
0.82.x to fix it.

Binary package hint: sugar-journal-activity

It appears that there is a hard coded UID for mounting USB flash drives.

In /usr/share/activities/Journal.activity/volumesmanager.py
--
MOUNT_OPTION_UID = 500

This should use the UID of the actual user on the system who is running Sugar. Note: there may be more than one user active in a multiseat/thin client system.
