Here is my :
.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
udiskie &
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session

/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-udiskie.pkla (this file and directory i can see only as root).I added as much lines, becouse I hope this be help...

Re: USB mounting without root

According to the archwiki, pcmanfm can have automount support through udisks and dbus. Is there a specific reason your trying to use udiskie?

Re: USB mounting without root

You do not need to use both the pkla file AND consolekit. However the problem may be that you are starting udiskie before launching consolekit:

Re: USB mounting without root

I'm using devmon for automounting and it works really great. Install it and put this into your ~/.xinitrc

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch bash -c "devmon & openbox-session"
