[SOLVED] udisksvm assistance for detecting USB drive

I've been researching on how to use this when I use an USB drive in Arch Linux (LXDE) running in a VBOX virtual machine.

I came this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112397&p=3

It states:

Under full systemd, I post these infos for udisksvm to work properly.
systemd-logind.service must be used,
and the consolekit package removed.
The command 'loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID' should output an 'Active=yes' line.

Check on all of these as listed above.

Also in this thread:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162770

It states:

The script udisksvm runs in background, and traydvm is not meant to be run directly, it is called by udisksvm.
Using systemd-logind.service, the session must be active for the script to have the right permissions.
And a dbus session is also needed.

Again, check on all of these. systemd-logind.service is running and dbus session as well.

I don't see any GUI icon with USB stick? Any help here?

Re: [SOLVED] udisksvm assistance for detecting USB drive

Ok, figured it out.

After meeting all the requirements as stated do the following:

1) Run udisksvm -a in Terminal
2) Insert the USB drive
3) Use the mountpath as stated in the info to copy over '/run/media/.../'
