Public bug reported:
When connecting a USB drive to a computer running xubuntu 26.04 live
environment, the USB drive is not mounted automatically.
Expected behavior: the USB drive is mounted and accessible in thunar.
Actual behavior: the USB drive is not mounted automatically (even though
the drive is visible in linux (in lsblk) and can be mounted manually
with the mount command).
Not sure which package or combination of packages is causing this.
This issue is not present when xubuntu is installed on the disk, it's
only present in the live environment. (We use the live environment for
on some of our computers for a specific purpose.)
We tested this with multiple computers.
The issue is on this release:
```
Description: Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS
Release: 26.04
```
In our testing, we found that this issue is also present on xubuntu 24.04 LTS.
And we found the issue is NOT present on xubuntu 22.04 LTS.
We think an indication of the issue might be that udisksctl dump from
the USB flash device has the `HintIgnore: true` property when xubuntu is
ran from the live ISO but it's false when it's installed.
