i do run debian 7 with lxde and i am facing a problem when users try to see the usb devices.
they cannot mount it at all and it pops up a message (attached).
is there a way to solve this issue?
also when the user tries to see another partition (such as windows) it asks for the root passwd, and i would like to stop that since i am the only user in the system.
