Rhythmbox breaks auto mounting.

For a few days I have struggeled with making gnome-volume-manager automount removable storage devices. Some times it woked and sometimes it did not. I had enabled hal and dbus I was sure gnome-volume-manager was running. Eventualy I even loggeg into Gnome as root and everything workes perfectly, so my system is configured correctly. So maybe it was a permission issue, was what first come to my mind, but eventualy it turned out to be Rhythmbox(Rb) who was the trubblemaker. Rb does not autostart as root, as it does on my regular user account, thats way it worked as root.

Now, after some more testing, the situation is this: Automounting works perfektly until i start rhythmbox, then it just stop woking. Even if i stops Rhythmbox, automounting still is broken, even a "pkill gnome-volume-manager && gnome-volume-manager" does not fix it, but logging out and inn again does fix it! No other programs breaks auto mounting!!

I have tried to recompile Rb without both the --with-ipod and --with-dbus flags, but it did not help? Otherwise I have a standard Arch-install.

Re: Rhythmbox breaks auto mounting.

File a bug report. I've never had that issue with any distro.
Btw try posting your rc.conf

Re: Rhythmbox breaks auto mounting.

I ran an update today and I got a new version of gnome-volume-manager. Now everything is working perfectly!!
