permission problem with 0.8.26

[jeanp319]

Below is the device debug info under gentoo linux 2.6.39-gentoo-r3
with a kobo wifi plugged in.
I could mount it manually (under root), but do i need to add myself in a group to make calibre able to do so ?

You need to correctly setup udisks to allow you to mount USB disks. Or mount the devices before connecting calibre manually, or setup some kind of automounting.
