That's good. My user can mount it with pmount-hal at /media/adam for
one stick, and /media/usbstick for another, and pumount it again. So
that is probably the command that Thunar issues.
It also gives me this message:
libhal-storage.c 1401 : INFO: called LIBHAL_FREE_DBUS_ERROR but
dbusError was not set.
process 23617: Applications must not close shared connections - see
dbus_connection_close() docs. This is a bug in the application.
Perhaps this is an indication that there's something wrong still
which prevents the system from executing pmount-hal automatically.
It seems that you are not the only one having this problem, and it is
not limited to thunar:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=406390
Do you have a completely up-to-date system? (kernel, udev, hal, libhal1,
libhal-storage1, dbus, libdbus-*)
Completely up-to-date etch versions.
That bug is a year old. I couldn't work out how to see its status from
that web page. Anyway, you're right, it does appear to be the same issue
I'm having.
It seems to me, however, that we do not know if this message is really
related to your problem, since you never tried to run pmount-hal
yourself before thunar started acting up (if I understand you
correctly).
Maybe it is still worthwhile to check a few elementary things: What
happens if a newly-created user with clean xfce and thunar profiles runs
the xfce session and a USB stick is plugged in? If things still go
wrong, is there anything interesting logged in ~/.xsession-errors?
So hal is actually meant to mount the usb stick automatically? Not just show an
icon in thunar? How about CDs?
Plugging in a usb stick for a new user in xfce gave some interesting although in
conclusive results. First of all I noticed that the usb stick also appears as an
icon on the desktop. I just hadn't seen it with my normal user in amongst the
clutter.
Secondly, double-clicking the icon produced this message in .xsession-errors:
** (xfdesktop:14095): CRITICAL **: xfdesktop_file_icon_activated: assertion
`info' failed
and choosing the context menu 'mount' cmd pops up a dialog saying "no mount
point found for /dev/sda1"
Strangely this doesn't happen for my normal user (could it be because my normal
user formatted it and gave it its permissions?). With my normal user I am now
back to square one: I have to go into thunar and select the icon which appears
before it mounts.
In fact this is the same for cds.
