[SOLVED] Mounting with thunar fails after upgrade
Hi,
As of today's upgrade I'm no longer able to mount any filesystems with thunar. Until now I've been using lxpolkit, but it's been removed by pacman during the upgrade.
Is there any way I can fix it?

Did you upgrade the kernel? If so, did you reboot?

Kernel upgrade was 2 days ago and nothing went wrong then (I did reboot).

What do you mean by unable to mount? Are you getting any error messages?

lxpolkit has moved to lxsession. You need to install the lxsession package if you want to continue to use lxpolkit.

I figured it out just now. The path changed. Before the upgrade, it was /usr/lib/lxpolkit/lxpolkit. Now it's in /usr/bin/lxpolkit.

What did you do to fix it? I have the same problem. The error says "Not authorized to peform operation".

Re: [SOLVED] Mounting with thunar fails after upgrade
I use xinitrc to launch everything I need, so I just changed exec /usr/lib/lxpolkit/lxpolkit to exec /usr/bin/lxpolkit and then I restarted X.

Re: [SOLVED] Mounting with thunar fails after upgrade
I use XFCE and systemd. I added /usr/bin/lxpolkit to autostart in the XFCE sessions and startup settings. It works now. But what went wrong? Previously when i did "systemctl" in the terminal it would show lxpolkit in the list. After the update it didnt show it anymore. I spent hours doing searches and reading man files and can't figure it out. How do i fix it properly?

Re: [SOLVED] Mounting with thunar fails after upgrade
If it works, I'd say that's a proper fix 
How did you make it run before the upgrade?

Re: [SOLVED] Mounting with thunar fails after upgrade
I didnt have to do anything before. Just installing the packages was enough.

I think lxpolkit provided an xdg-autostart file, but lxsession does not.

It should be fixed in the next update to lxsession.
