What I find odd, is that I have this problem on only one of my computers. Both have a practically identical program set, and I use 'startx' to sign into both.
Both are updated to gnome 2.28
As stated above, Thunar can mount things while Nautilus cannot.

I can confirm this behavior.

When you mean things, are you talking about just USB drives or everything in general?
Offline
For me "things" means USB drives and CDs/DVDs....the "things" you mount 99.9% of the time

Likewise, I can confim that logging in from gdm makes everything work perfectly again. logging in via startx or slim does not.
One difference I did notice is that in the output of "ck-list-sessions" when running from gdm, we have "active = TRUE" while from slim it showed "active = FALSE". maybe this has something to do with it?

I login with slim using "exec ck-launch-session gnome-session" and everything works fine.

hm, it appears I may have spoken too soon. while everything mounts, its all mounted read-only!
EDIT: well, its not flagged as read-only, but I cant write anything to it as normal user, even though its all owned by me :/

"ck-list-sessions" says ACTIVE=TRUE on my machine too, but i'm still not able to mount in nautilus. So it must be something different.

Hmm, it says active = false on my machine...although I have no clue what that means, I start my sessions with "exec ck-launch-session xinit"

I've also had this problem, it is because of brand new polkit. The solution for me is to create new user. With new user everything mounts fine to me.

did not solve things for me.
I'm using:
* GDM
* Gnome 2.28
upon insertion, the dvd is not mounted nor is the device locked. The hardware seems to be working correctly.
now as I understand it, gnome relies on policykit for automated mounting now? how does this relate to HAL. I'm severely confused with all the changes as of late.
*edit*
I have just replaced the DVD drive with a CD drive, which then mounted properly :S

On my Netbook with i686 everything works fine for me (without changing something), but on my x64_86 desktop nothing happens if I plug in a CD or USB-Stick. Really strange.

I login with slim using "exec ck-launch-session gnome-session" and everything works fine.
I log in using startx, so I went ahead and tried "exec ck-launch-session openbox" in .xinitrc and it worked.
I can now mount memory cards/usb drives and so on and so forth (things), using nautilus.
Thanks for that thought testube.

Doesn't work for me. I already start fluxbox with ck-launch-session.

What a crappy gnome release...and also a crappy kernel at the same time

The Gnome release and the kernel release happening at around the same time is really confounding the issue. I think everyone in this thread has different problems with similar symptoms and there won't be a "cure-all" fix.

If it helps any...the same mounting problem occurs on kernel 2.6.30 as well.

So this is exactly Gnome 2.26->2.28 upgrade issue.

Hi,
I get a similar problem since gnome update. My system automount CD but not DVDs or USB drives.
Has anyone got any solution to this problem ?

I opened a new thread for my problem, you can post there also : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=83037

you need dbus and policykit
try this:
ck-launch-session dbus-launch nautilus
and this for permissions problems:
/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->
<!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd">
<!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format -->
<config version="0.1">
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</config>
