[SOLVED]Thunar stops showing removable devices

4p1C · 2011-11-22 11:02:30

Hi all,
Today, I noticed that thunar has stopped showing me my removable devices. I don't know when this issue really happened really but all I know is that, last weekend when I inserted my mp3 device, Thunar showed it and I had an icon on my desktop. I hadn't modify any configuration files, just made all upgrades.
Here are related packages installed here :
extra/gvfs 1.10.1-1
core/dbus-core 1.4.16-1
extra/dbus 1.4.16-1
extra/dbus-glib 0.98-1
extra/thunar 1.2.3-2
extra/thunar-volman 0.6.0-2
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance

Tovo R.

These recent topics should be enough.

Thank you grandmouse,
I've already read all these topics, I tried their solutions[1] but it didn't helped me :-(

[1] created the /etc/polkit-1/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.udisks.pkla file and put the following content :
[Local Users]
Identity=unix-user:4p1C
Identity=unix-group:storage
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.*
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes

grandmouse · 2011-11-22 14:29:45

it is
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.udisks.pkla
not
/etc/polkit-1/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.udisks.pkla

if you did wrong try to move the file

Okay,
I put it in the right place but, unfortunately, I didn't solve the problem.
In addition, I noticed that when I reboot the laptop, the external keyboard is now not recognized as before. I need to disconnect it and reconnect in order to make it work.

Install polkit-gnome.

4p1C · 2011-11-23 01:35:35

I already have these packages :
extra/polkit 0.102-1
extra/polkit-gnome 0.105-1

Install gvfs-afc

4p1C · 2011-11-23 06:42:53

Ok,
I did it but, nothing better happens :-(

(Re)install libgdu?

4p1C · 2011-11-23 09:18:38

Also done,
this operation lead me to reinstall gvfs and gvfs-afc but ... the same.

hmm - I just installed thunar and simply added this and gvfs worked fine for me.

Are you a member of the storage group? Can you mount internal partitions without getting a "Not authorized" message?

4p1C · 2011-11-23 13:09:59

Indeed,
I am member of storage group but if I try to mount an usb device without sudo, I have the next message : mount: only root can do that

Thank you all guys !
I compared my actual .xinitrc with the one from my last week backup and find out the difference :
Last week : exec ck-launch-session startxfce4 (the good line)
Now : exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session (the bad line)
Changing this line to the last week version solved my problem.
