[SOLVED] Can't mount my USB Flash drive - weird HAL error.

So I'm trying to mount an USB Flash drive thorugh pcmanfm and thunar but none of them can do that. I keep getting the same error message and can't figure out what's wrong with it.

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal fam)

Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.7" (uid=1000 pid=1570 comm="pcmanfm) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=1455 comm="/usr/sbin/hald))

If you are using startx or slim to start X:
change your xinitrc to

exec ck-launch-session YOURWMHERE

Re: [SOLVED] Can't mount my USB Flash drive - weird HAL error.

Forgot to mention that I'm on Openbox and if I replace exec openbox-session with something else, it doesn't start at all or ignores the configuration file.
Any other thoughts ? I can mount the drive from the command prompt but as soon as there is anything related to file managers and stuff like that, it fails.

Edit: problem solved ( misinterpreted the second part of your command )

exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
