[SOLVED] Thunar automounting stopped working recently.

I am running Archlinux x64 with an Openbox setup. After a recent upgrade, I'm not sure which, Thunar's automount feature suddenly stopped working. When I plug in a USB drive and click its name in the Thunar sidebar, I get something like the following:

Failed to mount "HP Desktop Drive".
Not authorized to perform operation.

My user is in the storage and optical groups. All of my packages are completely up to date at the time of this posting.

Here is my .xinitrc:

#!/bin/bash

export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

ibus-daemon -drx &

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session

Re: [SOLVED] Thunar automounting stopped working recently.

export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

ibus-daemon -drx &

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session

If you are running from a pure systemd installation, you do not need dbus-launch as dbus is built into systemd. Also I don't believe ck-launch-session is required anymore either. I took it out of my xinit and it boots & runs fine.

However I am having the same problem as you...automount has indeed stopped working for me as well in Thunar under Openbox without a DE.

Maybe you should read the news...

Or any of the many other "can't automount" posts...

(edit) and now that you have marked this [SOLVED] it would help others if you explained how you solved it.
