This worked after I originally installed Fedora 11: If I plugged in a USB stick or inserted a CD/DVD ROM, the new device notifier would inform me, and allow me to open in Dolphin (as well as other choices). If I selected the "Open in Dolphin", it would do just that. As of recently, when I try to open, a dialog pops up asking for root password. Same when I select "Safely remove". If I enter the password, things proceed as desired. This behavior appears to shown up about the time I had sound permission problems. Resolved the sound problem by modifying security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms to add: <sound>=/dev/snd/* <console> 0600 <sound> 0600 root These same two behaviors (sound and mount) showed up for me mid-life in Fedora-8 too. The same fix resolved the sound problems then, and I lived with entering the root password for USB devices until I finally upgraded to F11. It was joy when device mounting worked again, however short lived.
