Thunar Automounting

aznsmartj0ck · 2010-12-18 01:32:54

After trying on and off for a few months, my arch install finally worked! I've very happy with the speed of the system. Everything seems so much more responsive! However, I have one problem that I can't seem to fix. I am running i686, 2.6.36-ARCH with openbox and thunar. After looking through several wiki pages, I cannot get thunar to
1. mount my external hard drive or usb drive
2. recognize my windows ntfs drive (sda2)
Can someone please help? I'd greatly appreciate it!

If it sees the drives but refuses to mount them make sure that you are using dbus (try running it with dbus-launch thunar).
If thunar does not even see the drives, make sure that you have thunar-volman installed.

it sees them, and i am running dbus as a daemon. I also tried running dbus-launch thunar, and I get the same error:

Rejected send message, 1 matched rules;
type="method_call", sender=":1.20" (uid=1000 pid=2977 comm="exo-mount)
interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"
member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0
destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=1628 comm="/usr/sbin/hald)).

Could you tell me how I could fix this?
