You should check whether your dbus is running and you are connected to it (ck-list-sessions, ps -e u | grep dbus, your .xinitrc). You don't need udiskie, pkla files, storage group, gvfs or thunar-volman. Plain udisks from terminal should work if your ck-session is set up correctly. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key ID: 164B5A6D Key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
