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

[Morgan Collett]

Journal has been merged into the 'sugar' component - see
http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=sugar;a=tree;f=src/jarabe/journal

The journal-activity component has therefore been dropped from future
releases.

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.
