I did some checking -- It's been a while since I installed Beowulf and udisks2 -- and I discovered that you need to use a "front end" for udisks2 for it to truly automount. I used udiskie (https://pypi.org/project/udiskie/) which must be started manually. Installing it doesn't automatically set it up to start. I just added a stanza to Openbox's autostart script. Since I use lxpanel in addition to Openbox, I added the "--smart-tray" option, so udiskie will appear in the panel when it's in use. > W: > http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libb/libblockdev/libblockdev-crypto2_2.20-7+deb10u1_amd64.deb: > > Automatically disabled Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth due to incorrect > response from server/proxy.

To see if udisks2 is running and working, inset a usb thumb drive, and in a terminal enter "udisksctl status". The thumb drive should show in the list of other mounted devices. > root@aragog:/home/fred# /usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd & > [1] 523 > root@aragog:/home/fred# udisks-Message: 07:27:15.642: udisks daemon > version 2.8.1 starting > > ** (udisksd:523): WARNING **: 07:27:15.773: failed to load module > mdraid: libbd_mdraid.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such > file or directory > sh: 1: dmidecode: not found > > (udisksd:523): udisks-WARNING **: 07:27:15.776: Failed to load the > 'mdraid' libblockdev plugin > udisks-Message: 07:27:16.017: Acquired the name > org.freedesktop.UDisks2 on the system message bus > > If that library file was needed it should have been loaded by the > installer. I don't know what to do from here. Do you have a RAID set up? If not, disregard the warnings. > I use openbox and xterms if that info. is needed. Me, too, with a single lxpanel with menus. I do not have any desktop environments, in whole or part, installed. Neither a display manager. I boot to and login in a terminal and, then, run startx.
