I have a fresh install of xfce on wheezy. The machine is an eracks desktop with an amd phenom II cpu, 8 Gb ram. I have previously run roughly the same configuration of xfce before, but there were large element of gnome also on the machine. Being of feeble mind and forgetting all the other times I had disturbed sleeping dogs, I did the fresh install thing. Everything is fine, I noticed that gdm had been replaced by xdm.
My problem: usb thumb drive does not mount automatically. I can su and mount it from the command line. I checked and I am a member of the plugdev group. The last line of mtab reads: /dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 vfat rw,noexec,nodev,sync,noatime,nodiratime 0 0 After mounting the drive by hand, I noticed that the /media directory has had usb0 usb1 etc. added to it and it is possible to mount the drive with a mouse, but as a user it is read only (not what mtab says?) Before I go off rooting about as root and causing untold damage, I'm asking for some help. (I did send in an installation report with the installation logs, etc. - perhaps I will get some help there.)
