auto mounting in thunar [SOLVED]

I am having problems getting auto mounting to work in thunar. I followed this guide with no success

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Th … tomounting

I would like thunar to show the device on the side panel.

Re: auto mounting in thunar [SOLVED]

This link, Here, where it says:

#!/bin/sh

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

exec ck-launch-session startxfce4

modify the last line to say:

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4

That's what I had to do anyway.  It only applies if that is how you're launching Xfce?

Re: auto mounting in thunar [SOLVED]

Ok, I don't know about openbox.  I just set up Xfce over today and yesterday and I had to add that dbus launch to get USB thumb-drives to mount automatically.  I'm also using slim BUT openbox is not Xfce so it probably won't help.  The "startxfce4" is supposed to launch dbus but obviously it doesn't do it properly when it comes to auto-mounting devices in Xfce4.  So, might not hurt to try but I don't think the chances are good.

Re: auto mounting in thunar [SOLVED]

In order to automount in openbox you need to install gvfs

pacman -S gvfs

Also, if you're using thunar as file manager you need to install thunar-volman

pacman -S thunar-volman

I know my english sucks

Re: auto mounting in thunar [SOLVED]

~/.xinitrc (before last line you can start programs that do not need dbus)

#!/bin/sh
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox-session

~/.config/openbox/autostart (to start programs into the dbus session of openbox)

#!/bin/sh
#pcmanfm -d &
thunar --daemon &

/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.udisks.pkla

[Storage]
Identity=unix-group:storage
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.*
ResultAny=yes
ResultActive=yes
ResultInactive=no

/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.upower.pkla (try this if power management fails)

[Power]
Identity=unix-group:power
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.*
ResultAny=yes
ResultActive=yes
ResultInactive=no

thunar-volman is only required if you want popups on automount or set default actions, the device shows up anyways in the sidebar.

Re: auto mounting in thunar [SOLVED]

What StuMx said, holds true (you need gvfs and thunar-volman installed). As for .xinitrc, the important thing is to comment out the bit that loads stuff from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d (mainly 30-dbus, which loads up yet another dbus session and is messing things up).

Please try:

#!/bin/sh

#if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
#  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
#    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
#  done
#  unset f
#fi

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox-session

Output of ck-list-sessions and pstree would be helpful.

EDIT: there is 2 ck-launch-session could that be the problem?

Most likely. How's you login_cmd in /etc/slim.conf? ck-launch-session launched there also?

grep ^login /etc/slim.conf

Re: auto mounting in thunar [SOLVED]

Thanks for the help removing ck-launch-session from /etc/slim.conf fixed it.

Marking as solved
