** Description changed: I use Xubuntu 10.04 with the latest (up to 18:00 25.03.2010 Moscow time) updates installed. If automatic login is turned on, usb devices do not get automounted when plugged in. Steps to produce this issue: -use latest xubuntu LL beta -turn on automatic login (I enabled it in the installation dialog) -boot the system -plug in any usb flash stick or external HDD If you are autologin-ed, you can log off, then log in as the same user and everything goes normal then. If you are autologin-ed and plug a usb stick in, you may execute "gksu thunar &" and discover that root can see it, mount it, etc. But thunar without root privileges can not see the stick. I tested this issue with 2 usb sticks and one external HDD. WORKAROUND: Edit /etc/rc.local to add hald as follows: sudo nano /etc/rc.local add this above the exit 0, like so: ~~~~~~~~~~ - /usr/bin/hald + /usr/sbin/hald exit 0 ~~~~~~~~~~ Save Ensure the execution bit is set: sudo chmod u+x /etc/rc.local reboot.
