Subject: Re: [DNG] Help testing new policykit in Beowulf
Could not mount USB drives as regular user until apt install 'gvfs' package.

Used updated feb mini.iso, in laptop - not vm or vbox.
Used expert install, choosing Xfce. Kept beowulf repos and updated.
Thunar:
enabled volumn management, with notice of missing dep - "gvfs".
thunar didn't show usb under 'devices', tho it did show in all '/dev/disk/by-* (all folders).
After installing gvfs - rebooting - usb showed under devices and mounting/unmounting
as reg user worked.

Installed synaptic & bleachbit (as root) to test pkexec permissions...didn't ask for password
or start programs. They do run as regular user and terminal with sudo.

I wouldn't know what package to blame if this goes as bug?
Anyone else?
