After installing and configuring Thunar Volume Manager for Arch Linux it doesn't mount any USB devices automatically: $ thunar thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type. thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type. thunar-volman: Could not detect the volume corresponding to the device. thunar-volman: Could not detect the volume corresponding to the device. (Both messages are printed twice when inserting a single USB drive.) Polkit seems to be running as expected : $ loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID Id=c1 Timestamp=Tue 2013-11-19 20:54:41 GMT TimestampMonotonic=33281762 VTNr=7 Display=:0.0 Remote=no RemoteUser=root Service=slim Scope=session-c1.scope Leader=308 Audit=0 Type=x11 Class=user Active=yes State=active IdleHint=no IdleSinceHint=0 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0 Name=username There are a bunch of random tips in this thread , but at least some of them seem at odds with the wiki: gvfs is mentioned, although the wiki only mentions it as a requirement for browsing remote locations . Manual mounting works fine: $ sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/foo $ mount | grep sde1 /dev/sde1 on /media/foo type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096)

I have a HP Chromebook where i used crouton to install xfce on. Everything is working fine and expected. However when I whenever I plug up a flash drive (64bit formated with NTFS or 265MB formated with FAT32) I see the stick pop-up in the file explorer (Thunar) for a second and then immediately disappear before I could have time to click on it (similar like here ). When I try the sticks in the default ChromeOS they work and are auto-mounted. So I think my issue is that ChromeOS auto-mount the stricks in the background while I´m using xfce. If I try (inside xfce): sudo mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/80F43972F3583C0B /home/user/64GBUSBStick Then I get the error: > Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. > The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it > which could be identified for example by the help of the fuser command However for the FAT32 stick its working ... This might be (sorry if wrong, but I´m not a linux pro) due to the reason that when checking with mount that the devices can be both seen here: /var/host/media/removable/64GB or /var/host/media/removable/265MB However they where still not added to Thunar Did anybody have a solution for that issue? My preferred one would be to keep both auto mount options up and running if possible.

I'm running Crunchbang Linux (a variant of Debian) Whenever I plug in a drive, it gets mounted to /media/username/UUID-or-Name. Is there a way to instead mount it to /media/UUID-or-Name? Crunchbang comes with thunar-volman installed by default, and I think it's what mounts the drives automatically, but there's no setting I can find that determines where drives are mounted, only whether or not they're mounted.
