gnome-volume-manager-1.5.15-3 does not automount devices (cds, usb sticks) even if mounting is specified in the "removable drives and media" preferences panel. The process is running and killing the process and starting it with the terminal extracts no error messages.

I have to click on the device icon within "computer" to mount the device.
This task depends upon

Try adding yourself to the "storage" group, it should work then.

killall gnome-volume-manager ; gnome-volume-manager -n

this will start the volume-manager not as a daemon, see if you can get anything usefull

I don't know if this is related or if it is even a problem but I have some duplicate processes (from system monitor):
3 dbus-daemon, one for user"dbus" and two for me (might be related?)
2 gdm-binary, both for user "root"
2 pdflush, both for root
5 smbd, all for root

I have .xinitrc set with "exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session".
I have nautilus-share from AUR running.

Sorry if these are OT btw.

I don't know what happened but it works now.

I had trouble with my network and fiddled with ndiswrapper which led to a crash then a reboot. Afterwards, automounting works ok.

I've relogged-in and rebooted, and it still works.

Thanks JGC and Arjan for all the help!
