shutdown and mount need password

Asked by swarfendor437

Usint a derivative of Ubuntu 14.04 usind a Cairo-Dock DE that I installed (and I also installed full Gnome DE). Am the only user on the machine - when I want to mount or unmount external drive I now have to provide a password - same for shutting down - very annoying for home PC user. Is this due to updates in kernel 3.13.0-35-generic? And the move to systemd from systemvinit in readiness for 14.10?

Hi it is ZorinOS - and this call can now be closed - it went as soon as it appeared! Very weird indeed - happened for a couple of days but since stopped.

Please use the Zorin forums as you are using Zorin. Yhis is Ubuntu support, not Zorin.
