You have several dbus session bus processes running, so something is wrong anyways. Besides that, this is probably an issue with polkit and/or pam_systemd. If you're not authorized to use removable devices, they will not automount either.

@Jan

The only way I am starting dbus is in my .xinitrc:

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi

Interestingly I just tried a small (8GB) removable USB pen drive. It gets mounted automatically. Yet the SD card and 1TB external USB disk is not automounted. Error message from inserting the SD card:

Once the SD card is mounted, I get this:

A conflict with libbluray?

Hi there!

I will allow myself to join this bug report since I was "attacked" by this bug as well.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=176294

Kind regards.

Andrzej

Can you attach output of dmesg when attaching a USB device or inserting an SD card?

I don't think libbluray is related at all: it scans the mounted device to see if there's a bluray index file, but it's quite chatty when doing so.

Also note that I updated udisks2 to a git snapshot a few days ago, so please post which udisks2 version you're using.

Hi Jan.

I think You may be right - yes. I had the exact same error messages as You can see in my forum thread and yet KDE4 + device notifier successfully mounted the devices. Its weird. However there is something dodgy happening when devices are being plugged in - I have compiled my own (thanks to korn36) gvfs and the error messages are gone. I don't know what to tell You exactly but I am betting information provided in my forum posts could be of interest.

Cheers.

Andrzej

The bluray "errors" are unrelated to this bug, they're harmless anyways, as it's just libbluray trying to scan for index files after mounting. Using google on that error shows the message on each and every media player which utilizes libbluray.

I understand that kind sir. However the rest of the errors (unrelated to libbluray) only appears if the index.bdvm bluray message shows up in the journal / dmesg and when its gone the issue is gone too. I understand that libbluray is doing what its suppose to be doing and something else (gvfs) is pushing it towards "misbehaving". I suppose its the way gvfs utilizes libbluray as its helper may cause issues on certain machines... but I am far from being expert in any way so...

Thanks again for looking into it.

Kind regards.

Andrzej

I think You were right and I was wrong...

http://pastebin.com/GcXNAcnY < journal and dmesg

libbluray messages are gone but there is something not entirely right with the mounting / unmounting... The drive is automounting alright but its not clean. I will try to reboot and see if this is something that happens right away after reboot.

Kind regards and thanks again for Your help.

Andrzej

So the segfault happens randomly but...

pacman -Q | grep udisks2:

udisks2 2.1.2-1

What else can I provide you?

Just to add on this. If I additionally install udiskie and run it with `udiskie -2` (-2 for udisks2 support), then my external 1TB drive gets automounted correctly:

Feb 28 08:38:37 thinkpad udisksd[13120]: Mounted /dev/sdc1 at /run/media/orschiro/2aac80d3-3f44-41dc-9f99-18f251d518dd on behalf of uid 1000

Well, that makes sense... gvfs is not responsible for automounting. It's a daemon/subsystem that allows applications to mount things, but it has no automount policy itself. On GNOME desktops, gvfs receives the information about devices and passes it to nautilus or gnome-shell, which in turn automounts the device when asked to do so.

You can use udiskie, nautilus, pcmanfm, or even setup udev rules to do the automounting for you.

Thanks Jan. In that case it is definitely a problem with Thunar because I used to use thunar-volman for automounting which apparently refuses to automount large USB drives > 1TB and SD cards.

thunar-volman comes with configuration where you can specify what to mount, so probably automounting of external drives and sd-cards is not enabled there.

Nope. I enabled all checkboxes but did not the trick.

These people face similar issues and used an additional polkit rule. However, I am not sure whether it also allows automounting for them.

At least for me, adding the polkit rule does not bring automounting functionality.
