Since Gnome 2.28, volumes can be mounted just by clicking on them from nautilus, even if they are not in /etc/fstab, by asking for the root password first.
When Debian is installed in sudo mode (no root password set), nautilus or policykit ask also for root password and they fail authentication.
This could be also a bug in packages: policykit, sudo, or debian-installer.

I don’t know whether PolicyKit can support sudo-like authentication.
CCing its maintainers. We can use auth_self of course, but I don’t know
whether it is possible to easily restrict it to certain users.

If not, we will probably have to remove the “no root password” mode from
the installer.

I can say that Ubuntu uses sudo mode + PolicyKit successfully.

Hey,

this is an old bug.

Could you please still reproduce this issue with newer nautilus version
like 3.4.2-1+build1 or 3.8.2-3 ?

thanks

Pedro
