Furius ISO mount can't mount

[Jenia]

I installed Furius ISO mount from the Repos, but it fails to mount anything unless I'm running it as root.
Console outputs "fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted".
After a quick internet search about this I tried moving my user into the fuse group - did not help.
I tried changing permissions - which just gave me a new error, still refusing the mount stuff.

Oh, it's not just "fuse" that's not working. "loop" seems to be moody - it either works or doesn't, seemingly at random.

But since I'm posting here, I might as well start from the beginning...

Fuse doesn't work. Now what?

Works fine here, tracking sid. If there is anything I can do to help, give me a shout

Yeah, when I try that, I get "fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted"
Obviously root can mount just fine. I think my permissions are messed up.

Hi,

Do you have this option enabled in /etc/fuse.conf?

Code: Select all

# Allow non-root users to specify the 'allow_other' or 'allow_root'
# mount options.
#
user_allow_other

Hi

Here's a copy of my entire fuse.conf file:

Code: Select all

# Set the maximum number of FUSE mounts allowed to non-root users.
# The default is 1000.
#
mount_max = 1000

# Allow non-root users to specify the 'allow_other' or 'allow_root'
# mount options.
#
user_allow_other

Are you in the fuse group? To check, type

Code: Select all

groups

to see what groups your user is in. If you're not in the fuse group, add your user to that group, logout and log back in your X session.

"groups" gives out my username followed by "sudo" followed by "fuse".

Still no progress with this. Should I just go back to the main distros of Mint?

Jenia,

I installed furius ISO mount and gave it a shot. I didn't encounter any problems with loading ISOs. I'm out of ideas on how to troubleshoot this. As far as I know, those 2 suggestions I came up with should have solved any fuse related issues. I thought about the gnome-keyring or gnome-policykit issue, but you haven't said you were having permission issues elsewhere so that rules those two out. Are the admin user on this machine, i.e. set up as the admin since the root user is supposed to be disabled by default?

[Jenia]

Yes, I installed LMDE on this machine myself from scratch, and configured it myself. At no point do I remember touching FUSE related files - until I installed furiusisomount, acetoneiso, maybe xfburn. I had a problem with it from the start, so I looked for online guides to fuse related issues, tried a few things out, none of which helped.

I'm pretty sure the permissions on one of the fuse-related files is screwed up. I can not use fuse anywhere unless I SUDO it. If I sudo it it works fine.
Unfortunately I am not linux-savvy enough to know exactly what files work with FUSE and where they are...

The update pack fixed this.
