Re: [SOLVED]Thunar can not detect USB disk.

Have you configured thunar correctly?

How large is the USB device?

my problem is the device ico doesn't show on sidebar.

 Click configure and check the following items:

    Mount removable drives when hot-plugged.
    Mount removable media when inserted.

Re: [SOLVED]Thunar can not detect USB disk.

Have you checked the "Enable Volume Management" box in the "Advanced" tab under Edit → Preferences?

Re: [SOLVED]Thunar can not detect USB disk.

You don't say how you're starting your session but I reckon you're doing it in a way that doesn't launch dbus which in turn means that gvfsd won't get started. Assuming I'm right, add the following to your .xinitrc:

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

Re: [SOLVED]Thunar can not detect USB disk.

and I checked dbus service status, and the deamon, all looks good :

Yes dbus-daemon is fine but you also need to be running a session instance of dbus and you do this by running dbus-launch on login.

This pice of code is originally exists in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

Sure, but if you have a .xinitrc file in your home dir then you need that code in your .xinitrc file as that is the one that takes precedence. The point of that piece of code is to execute the scripts in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d

The one of significance to this case is 30-dbus.sh.

Re: [SOLVED]Thunar can not detect USB disk.

For future reference, this command will show all active dbus sessions:
