Re: new thunar, can't see removable devices

@dcc24
Everything works well here without gvfs-afc: I have thunar 1.2.1-2, xfce 4.8 and gvfs 1.8.1-1. I have changed your edit in the wiki a bit.

Re: new thunar, can't see removable devices

Just throwing my 2 cents in...

I stumbled across this thread trying to get Thunar to see network shares. Seemed similar, so I poked around.

Openbox
Dbus was already in rc.conf

After adding dbus-launch (with the loop mentioned earlier) to autostart.sh, network shares are available.

Oh yeah, and so are seperate partitions, USB devices and Trash.

(time to go mark my thread as solved)

Re: new thunar, can't see removable devices

dbus needs to be after consolekit to fix the authorization problems.

This fixed my problems, thanks !

Re: new thunar, can't see removable devices

FWIW

I got automount to work over here with XFCE4 & xdm, config:

xdm by inittab

.bashrc

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

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

/usr/lib/notification-daemon-1.0/notification-daemon &
/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &
exec startxfce4

(not sure the auth stuff is needed anymore, but it works like this)

dbus started in rc.conf .
