A particular nuisance for many users is the need to enter a password in order to access other partitions present on their hard disk. In addition, those who installed Openbox 0.8.3 have also encountered the additional issue of having to enter a their passwords in order to eject removable media such as USB sticks and CD/DVDs.  
A particular nuisance for many users is the need to enter a password in order to access other partitions present on their hard disk. In addition, those who installed Openbox 0.8.3 have also encountered the additional issue of having to enter a their passwords in order to eject removable media such as USB sticks and CD/DVDs.  


This is due to the default policy/pemissions settings implemented by a program called ''UDisks2'', which itself is responsible for mounting partitions and removable media. In essence, permissions for mounting are set by default to Root / Administrator level only, rather than the user. Fortunately, this issue can be easily - and permanently - resolved by creating a special file - called '''99-manjaro.rules''' to override the default permissions, consequently resulting in no further need to enter a password.
