Failed to automount external storage, usb disks[SOLVED]

Hi I seem to have problems on automounting, this worked awhile ago but now I get this popup error everytime I plug in a usb device:

org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <-- (action, result).

Any ideas?

Thanks

My guess is that it is related to this issue: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12221

Re: Failed to automount external storage, usb disks[SOLVED]

I guess this happened for I'm using hal from [testing]. I can't just downgrade though because it is req'd by the networkmanager 0.7 which I'm using right now...Any workarounds?

I solved the issue based from the post on the bug report...

Adding

session         optional        pam_ck_connector.so

to /etc/pam.d/login

and

 exec ck-launch-session startxfce4

to my .xinitrc

All working fine now...:D

Thanks alot!!!

That solution works for me as well.
