Hello:
I am running F19 xfce on a 32bit box (fully updated at the time of this
test)
I have "Applications Menu -> Settings -> Removable Drives and Media" open
Under "Removable Storage":
[checked] Mount removable drives when hot-plugged
[checked] Mount removable drives when inserted
[checked] Browse removable media when inserted
[not checked] Auto-run programs on new drives and media
[not checked] Auto-open files on new drives and media
Nothing else is checked on this or all the other tabs.
Whether I hot-plug a memory stick into the computer or plug it in before
powering on, it never mounts the volume until I manually go to the icon
on the desktop and tell it to "please go mount yourself"
Am I not understanding the options under "Settings -> Removable Storage"?
I first encountered this in F16 under xfce but figured I wasn't
understanding something as I had just switched from F14 gnome where I
could hot-plug
I have three Linux boxes and it doesn't auto mount on any of them, so I
am not thinking it is a hardware problem to a particular machine.
This also happens with cd/dvd when inserted ... have to manually "please
go mount yourself" (and, yes, the phraseology is intentional as I am
rather frustrated by this)
Thanks in advance for any advice
Paul

- Volume Management
$ xfconf-query -c thunar -p /misc-volume-management

Poma:
Thanks for reply.
Volume management is checked on as the link you provided shows
Running the command "xfconf-query -c thunar -p /misc-volume-management"
returns the following:
Property "misc-volume-management" does not exist on channel "thunar".
The package thunar-volman is already installed on my machine (0.8.0-4.fc19).
The only other thing I can spot in your link is reference to HAL. When I
hunt around to find out information, I come across the following on the
xfce site for thunar-volman: " HAL is undergoing deprecation at the
moment. All major distributions push for the removal of HAL in favor of
DeviceKit-disks/udisk, DeviceKit-power/upower and udev"
(http://wiki.xfce.org/dev/thunar-volman-udev). Everything I can see on
this implies the transition as 2009 to 2010 range.
:)
The requirement part is outdated, anyway the emphasis was on
http://docs.xfce.org/_media/xfce/thunar/preferences-advanced.png
$ grep Required -A13 /usr/share/doc/thunar-volman-0.8.0/README
The other response from Dale suggested that I take it to the xfce
general discussion site (which I intend to do after seeing if I get any
more info here).
Any suggestions on what I should be looking for to better understand the
problem?
Just play with it.
i.e. Re-enable Volume Managment(checkbox)
or "Create a new property if it does not already exist"[1],
$ xfconf-query -c thunar -p /misc-volume-management -n -t bool -s true
poma
[1] $ xfconf-query -h
Poma:
Thanks for reply and additional info. I'm going to need some time to
look into this as I need to understand why I should be creating the new
property given thunar-volman is installed
