Help I cant mount my drives on my Debian.

[Neel.M]

Always when I want to mount my Ipod or any USB Memory I get:

Cannot mount volume.
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied.

How do I sort this out?

Which Desktop Environment are you using? Its a known bug in KDE. Add user option for all relevant devices in /etc/fstab file.

[Neel.M]

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda5 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda6 /home reiserfs defaults 0 2
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

I dont think I have permission to edit it. I tried to insert a shell script in my "/usr/local/bin" and it didnt allow me to.

I use Gnome, I dont like KDE. Gnome is suppose to give me more options.

I just gave myself more priveledges by going to "Users and groups". The one problem is that I still dont have Permission to mount but the message has changed:

Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolic y.

This accured when I tried to access my "PQSERVISE" and my "26.9GB Volume" drive.

But my IPod can now be mounted, The one problem is that I cant write data to my filesystem. Please Help me!

Press Alt+F2 and type gksu natulius.
Check if it allows you to delete or save contents in IPod.

Ya, thats all fine, I have full permission to my Ipod, but the only problem is that I have no permission to my filesystem now. I found out how to get permission for accessing my Ipod. It was not a error, it was just changing some stuff on my user account. The problem now is that I cant write contents to my filesystem.

I keep getting this message:

Error while copying to "/usr/local/bin".
You do not have permissions to write to this folder.

Why are you trying to write anything in that folder. Normal Users doesn't have permission to write outside their Home Folder. You must have root privileges to do that.

Thats what Ive been trying to tell you, mate. I only have one user and that user should have root privileges. I cant be 100% sure. How do I give myself these privileges?

[devils casper]

Root User is disabled in Ubuntu by default and the only user that you have create during installation is a Normal User.
You can gain root privileges using sudo or gksu as i have suggested earlier. Root User and Normal User, that you have created during installation, uses same password.
