Remind Myself Edition: Remember Authentication Mounted Drive in Ubuntu 9.10

It seems authentication for mounted drive isn't the same as before. Old version let you save the authentication for a mounted  drive. In Karmic there is none, dunno why they removed it. Anyhoot  luckily somebody posted a howto on the said topic.

Open terminal and type the following:

sudo gedit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy

Look for the action id:

org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-mount-system-internal

Within that action id look for the line:

<allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>


and replace it with:

<allow_active>yes</allow_active>

save file and your done.
