also check if in /etc/sudoers file the following line exists.

Code: Select all

 %users  ALL=(ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: /bin/umount, /bin/mount

So add the line

Code: Select all

 %users  ALL=(ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: /bin/umount, /bin/mount
in /etc/sudoers file, so users belong to users group can mount devices.

The file itself tells you to edit it by typing

Code: Select all

#visudo
I don't know whether this applies to Salix, but probably.

How do I add the following line

Code: Select all

%users  ALL=(ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: /bin/umount, /bin/mount
with visudo in an appropriate fashion?

As root, type visudo. Either uncomment or paste in the line: select it in your browser, place the cursor in the desired location, and do

SHIFT + middleclick

I'd been using vim for quite a while before I discovered about shift + middleclick to access the clipboard. ;)

Still not working.

Code: Select all

# cat /etc/sudoers

# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
# Failure to use 'visudo' may result in syntax or file permission errors
# that prevent sudo from running.

root	ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands
# %wheel	ALL=(ALL) ALL
%users  ALL=(ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: /bin/umount, /bin/mount

# Same thing without a password
# %wheel	ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

# Samples
# %users  ALL=/sbin/mount /cdrom,/sbin/umount /cdrom
# %users  localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now
(Save Visudo and exit)

As i understand it is not a VirtualBox problem but
To make things simpler for find a solution i suggest to remove VirtualBox.

as root type

Code: Select all

cd /opt/VirtualBox 
sh uninstall.sh
(you can install it later) and try to mount removable media again.

I still can't access removable storage media. VBox is not the problem, as it seems.

I wonder if this is in any way related to the problems I experienced with Gmountman when running hand-rolled tiling WMs: unless I call Gmountman through dbus-launch, it only sees fd0 (the non-existent floppy drive).
