[SOLVED] Auto-mounting issues

saz · 2013-11-20 16:02:08

Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct section for this post.

I'm using Openbox and no DE, and I can't mount USB drives automatically (works ok if I do it manually). I've tried with PCmanFM, Thunar and Nautilus, so I'm pretty sure it's a system's thing.

I have GVFS installed, and polkit running smoothly.

From Thunar I get this output when I insert a USB drive:

thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unknown block device type.

Thanks

Fix your .xinitrc

exec dbus-launch openbox-session

...Great! And for a little more "technically correct" solution, see these posts:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p1280768

(They both say the same thing, worded a little differently)

Thanks! I actually had this code in my backup .xinitrc:

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

But when I reinstalled I thought it wasn't necessary

Thanks again for the great and fast answers!
