Public bug reported: I have fresh install of Ubuntu Precise on new disk and automount doesn't work on any USB storage device nor on CD/DVD.
The only possibility that "mounts" disk "automatically" is opening and closing usb-creator-gtk. Then disk is available (and mounted) in Nautilus. USB disk disappears from Nautilus after unmounting it using click to "open" button next to disk name in Nautilus. Using trick with usb-creator-gtk dosn't help everytime - e.g. Garmin Oregon 550 normally connects as 2 USB disks - main device + inserted sd card. However, usb- creator-gtk mounts only sd card. I am able to mount disks manually. I had the same behaviour on the same computer with my old installation (originally Ubuntu 5.10 or 6.06 with regular upgrades to Precise) - originally everything was working properly, problem with automounting has appeared probably sometimes between July and September (I don't remember exactly since I have attributed this to me messing up somehow my installation). If you need any additional info, I can provide it from my current and also from old installation.
