Relatively new install of ubuntu hardy on an eeepc. One of my coworkers set it up and I don't know if it is something that they did. The 1000 user can't mount and hal won't automount removable media because of permissions. The two GUI tools I have tried to correct this are Users & Groups, and Authorizations. Still no go. I am thinking of trying a new approach. Create a new user. If the new user has the correct permissions, remove the current handicapped 1000 user, and delete the corresponding home directory. Then recreate a new user with that name. I have never removed the primary 1000 account. Should I expect any problems? Is there a better way to fix this? I have searched for answers to the permissions problem and the lack of answers leads me to believe the problem is with something we did, and no one else has encountered. -- Art Alexion Sent unsigned from an iPod.
