XFCE 4.8.0. Thunar crashes when mounting USB drive [SOLVED]

Just installed the new XFCE 4.8.0 during a system upgrade.

A couple of things right out of the box are problematic but first this:

Thunar crashes when attempting to mount/access a USB drive.  Here are the error messages from the console:

(thunar:1970): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_mount_get_root: assertion `G_IS_MOUNT (mount)' failed
(thunar:1970): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_file_hash: assertion `G_IS_FILE (file)' failed

(thunar:1970): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_file_get_uri: assertion `G_IS_FILE (file)' failed
Segmentation fault

I'm using "/etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-with-pmount.rules" from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … n-mounting

The device is being mounted just fine and I can access it from the command line.

I don't have pmount or any udev rules set up.

I just have thunar, thunar-volman, gvfs, udisks installed. It works fine here.

It gives a segmentation fault because you are trying to mount something that is already mounted. So the udev rule is not necessary anymore-
Remove that rule and do

sudo udevadm control restart

Thunar will mount it automatically with udev (I think I'm not mistaken here)

Bingo!

Removing the udev rule and restarting udev did it.

Thanks.
