            Bug ID: 318068
           Summary: KDE mounts devices as root instead of as user
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.10.2
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: realnc at gmail.com

In older KDE versions (I think 4.9, but perhaps it was 4.8) when I clicked on a
mountable device icon, for example in Dolphin (but in general everywhere where
such icons are offered), the device was mounted immediately without asking me
for a root password.

Now, this doesn't work anymore. I now get prompted for the root password and
the mount happens as root.

As a workaround, I now have to mount from the command line which is a hasstle
since I prefer using desktop environments instead of the CLI.

Here's an fstab entry for a disk where KDE behaves wrongly:

/dev/sdb1         /windows/D        ntfs-3g 
relatime,user,exec,norecover,windows_names,noauto  0 0

Note the "user" option, which allows the filesystem to be mounted by users.

Reproducible: Always
