[Bug 1333354] [NEW] switch user & usb flash drive conflict

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

This is on Lubuntu 14.04.  My system has 2 desktop users who may both be
logged in.  I use the "switch user" option on the Logout popup to switch
between these users.  I don't recall exactly how I created the 2nd user,
maybe used "useradd -m".  They do not have the same groups.  user2 is
logged in first.

Groups for user1 are user1 adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin nopasswdlogin sambashare.
Groups for user2 are user2 nopasswdlogin.

When both are logged in and I insert a flash drive into a USB port, both
users' desktops try to mount it.  Various error and other messages and
dialogs are the result, and the drive fails to mount.  User2 will ask
for administrator password while user1 gets a popup saying that an
operation is pending.   By switching back and forth between the users
and canceling the dialogs, I can get the flash drive to mount.
