If your distributions does not allow your users to mount storage device ( i.e. usb memory ) and it appears that you are using Gnome 2.14 ( and maybe higher ) and you wish to actually allow your self this pleasure :
Under gentoo :
- your user should be in plugdev group.
- /media directory should exist.
- And after you have added your self, log out, and in again.
- Restart dbus!
The fourth step came to me after reading gnome-mount -vt output. It was around 30 minutes of googling, completely useless.
