[Solved] Automounting Openbox + Thunar (systemd)

sasosito · 2012-11-04 19:48:10

Hi, I've been unable to automount anything on my standalone Openbox w/ Thunar. I did a clean installation, because I had a dual boot, tried to update to systemd, and crashed my Arch so I downloaded a new installation media and installed it. On my last installation, I was running cinnamon (I also ran GNOME and Xfce, no prob with automount on any of them), but I used Ob Standalone some time ago and everything worked perfect...I read lots of threads, but all of them needed consolekit...
Then I installed Xfce, and guess what, automount working perfectly. The thing is that I'm tired of DEs, and I really like Openbox, so if anyone could help, I'd really apreciate it

I had problems with auto-mounting in Thunar & I'm using Openbox as my WM with no DE. I found the solution in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1187741

Edit: my mistake, it wasn't automounting, it was only giving me user permission to mount.

Ok, still no automounting, but I need to use sudo to mount (I don't care, I had to before).

Have you followed the thunar and gvfs wikis? My openbox setup has no problems automounting with pcmanfm and I just tried out thunar and it works fine. I have mount point entries in my /etc/fstab for removeable media but I don't think that is actually absolutely necessary.

Anything, I even installed pcmanfm, but nothing. I give up, I'll install GNOME. Thank you very much.

Maybe you forgot to add user to "storage" group?

cat /etc/group

In openbox what is the output of

loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID

@doman18: he is using systemd and you don't need to be in any groups according to the wiki.

That seems to be the case -- I removed myself from the storage group (and rebooted) and Thunar sees my USB stick as soon as I plug it into the hub. Hmm, and udiskie won't "double up" on the mount, but I guess I don't really need udiskie. Better and better.

Edit: That's Thunar; I'm using Awesome, and I don't have a "desktop" so I don't know how the icon things would work.

Udiskie -- sounds like a suburb of Cleveland.

Attending to the other posts I've read, Active=yes should give me automount, and it does, but in GNOME.
I really meant the thank you I'm comfortable with GNOME, so this could be closed.
