Title:
  Nautilus unable to mount external disks - says not authorized to admin
  user

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Basically after upgrading my beta of 11.10 today I am no longer able
  to click on an external hard drive to mount it. This was working
  before whatever updates came down 9/14-9/15. It says not authorized in
  the bottom of the dialog after displaying the message Unable to Mount
  Diskname. I have an administrator user account that is automatically
  logged in. Shortly after logging in the keychain password dialog pops
  up but this doesn't affect the ability to mount external hard drives.

  1. Description:	Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
  Release:	11.10

  2. nautilus:
    Installed: 1:3.1.90-0ubuntu3
    Candidate: 1:3.1.90-0ubuntu3
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.1.90-0ubuntu3 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3. I expected it to mount the external disks either automatically or when I clicked on them through the nautilus interface.
  4. It gave me the error above "Unable to mount Diskname" Not authorized."

  Rebooting has had no affect on this.
