    upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10 unable to mount usb drive and other function not working

    upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10 upgrade was fine, but i'm not able to mount usb drive: "operation not permitted"
    all activities that need also an admin password request are not working and passoword box is not prompet and not appearing.
    can't see advance settings for users and group, can't star gparted from the gui, but it works if i use terminal with command "sudo gparted".

    Thanks in advance

    Check if You have ~/.gksu.lock and try to remove it if it is present.

    Does dmesg indicate that the usb drive has been detected properly?

    yes it is, unfortunately usb mount from gui it is not the only problem as i said all the operation that request a gui box for password doing something administraively are not working, for example administering user and groups advanced settings, or trying to opening gparted.

    s' happened to me a few times. I would try to install gnome-session-fallback(flashback) and use the metacity session to see if USB's are working. If so then you know something got borked in the unity-desktop during the upgrade. This may not help but it has helped many broken unity sessions I have had during development. In fact I always make it a point to have another desktop environment installed just for these cases.

    Then uninstall unity-desktop and reinstall it - see what happens..
