dCore-trusty:2016.05.25.21.54
doesn't
Jason, you should now be able to download the working gz from my gdrive.

PS. newly inserted pendrives appear on the e20 desktop in both initrds

Thanks

Ok, though the current RC was working here with icons for usb drives already inserted at boot, I do see an oversight in the reversion to the previous user and group behavior.

Uploading now.

Hi
works now, thank you very much Jason!

HI
pendrives icons disappeared again on dCore-trusty:2016.05.29.16.34
 

[Jason W]

Mine are still appearing.  There are no changes that should be able to cause this.  dCore-trusty:2016.05.29.18.17 is the rc I am using.

[Jason W]

Here is what I see now.  On dCore-wily the icons appear for both cdrom and usb when inserted or booted already inserted.  But on dCore-trusty the icons appear but there is a udisks permission error when trying to mount the drive via udiskctl command or with the icons.

Hi
I use enlightenment from the niko2040 ppa under dCore- trusty.

[Jason W]

Ok, that is what I am using also on both dCore-trusty and dCore-wily.  Are you able to mount the usb as user with the command udiskctl mount -b /dev/sdc1 or whatever drive?

I'm not on the pc right now, but when the usb icons where appearing on the "e" desktop, double clicking on the icon made a pendrive mount and a window with it's content appear.
there was a discussion in the past

but actually e was mounting usb fine on the prevoious dCore rc.
thanks

Ok, here is what I found.  Udisks2 needs policykit-1 as a dep, happens automatically in dCore-wily but not dCore-trusty.  And lower level deps often need to be installed before higher level ones can successfully run their startup scripts.   I installed policykit-1 several times after my desktop was running to no avail.  Now udisiks2 commands and the Enlightenment desktop mount and unmount usb and cdrom drives as user.  Anyone who is interested in the fix please re-import udisks2 and any SCE that contains it.

The only difference in what you said was working for you and now as far as base changes is what allows the cdrom to be seen on the desktop.  Reverting to previous will cause the cdrom to not be seen.  Now both dCore-trusty and dCore-wily with the enlightenment from the niko2040 ppa see cdrom and usb icons and can mount/unmount them with the desktop or udisks2. 

I am not sure why your results are different, but I would ask you re-import any SCEs that are relevant and please test.

Hi
the policykit thing was already discussed:

[Jason W]

The thing of starting the policykit daemon and an editing of a config file was discussed, not the issue of needing policykit-1 as a dep of udisks2 to allow udisks2 to mount as regular user in dCore-trusty. 

If you would download a tarball of the dCore git area that is not the latest and get the /etc/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules and place it in your live system and then run "udevadm trigger" and see if the usb icon reappears.   It should not as it only affected the cdrom icon on my system.  If that file makes the usb icon appear, I will pursue it further.

Hi
Trying my usb pendrive with dCore I can confirm that using the latest RC I can see the usb icons on the desktop.
It's on the pc at home that don't appear.
thanks Jasonw.

Hi
I've removed etc/passwod and etc/shadow from /opt/.filetool.lst, rebooted and now pendrives icons appear also on my home pc. Thanks Mr. Jason.
