Thunar 1.4.0 and Fluxbox on -current: no trash or automount usb devices
 

Just synced the latest -current updates and received xfce 4.10, thanks PV and crew! On my machine, using Fluxbox, Thunar does not have a trash can and cannot automouont usb sticks. When using xfce rather than fluxbox both of these features work as expected. Anybody else finding this or have I done something stupid?

Yep, same thing here.

Have you been able to automount USB-sticks using Thunar under Fluxbox before? I usually mount USB-sticks using the command line under Fluxbox (ie # mount -t vfat -o rw,users /dev/sdb1 /media/memory)

Update:
Same here, no automount.

Certainly could.

I think you haven't installing gvfs as Thunar using it for mounting (via udisks) and accessing virtual FS such as trash:// and network FS.

gvfs is installed.

But when I use xfce as an environment thunar has trash and automounting, on the same system fluxbox + thunar does not. Very curious....

I don't think gvfs is the problem. I checked and I have gvfs installed, but I can't automount USB-sticks using Thunar under Fluxbox or Xfce as a regular user.

OK looks like modifying ~/.xinitrc to:

fixes the issue here, perhaps there is a better way?

Yep, that worked, thank you.

Have you added any groups to your user account? I have:
users lp floppy audio video cdrom plugdev power netdev

try running xwmconfig twice because the xinitrc script has been changed
on newly install system, automount and trash does work

I re-ran xwmconfig and I have trash and network when running Xfce as a normal user but no automount yet I have enabled automount in thunar-volman and it works as root. When automounted in Xfce as root, USB-sticks are mounted on /run/media/root/KINGSTON. How the heck do I solve this?

Update:
Automounting an USB stick in KDE works for both root and user (i.e /media/KINGSTON)

I don't think there is a better way. Have you perhaps tested the other non-XDG window managers to see if they work similarly? That would be nice :-)

so weird... i have automount working on my old laptop using XFCE 4.10
no special tunning, just install fresh
probably it's because a new installation. The bug only occurred when upgrading from previous version?

It's fine in xfce - the trouble is with fluxbox (and probably a few other non-(kde|xfce) environments).

seems that the "dbus-launch --exit-with-session" addition is needed also with blackbox, wmaker, fvwm2 and openbox.
twm, i3 and wmii don't work with thunar even with the addition.

NOOOO! Not twm! :(

Sorry Pat, I got it wrong: I launched thunar from one of the pre-started xterms, and it hadn't got the consolekit session.
Starting it from a newly created xterm from the twm environment, it works :)
I have to add to the twm invocation in xinitrc "ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session"

If I launch Thunar in Fluxbox with "ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session" added to .xinitrc Thunar freezes and spits out the following in a terminal window/console:

What causes that?

Update: I've reinstalled Xfce and dbus, but I've yet to find where the problem lies...

reverified also with wmii and i3 (sorry I don't them that much and I had made a similar error as with twm): it works fine also there adding the "dbus-launch --exit-with-session".

mats, just FYI, I just tried here with fluxbox with the same addition and I don't have those errors (it works).

Looks like the fix is being rolled out for slackware 14 so I shall mark this solved :)

I had that same problem. Try setting your locale to UTF-8.

Setting the locale to UTF-8 solved the problem. Thanks. Reverting to locale en-US also works.

still doesn't work for me
 

I updated to current again today. My xinitrc files all have the added dbus-launch stuff--Thunar works fine in XFCE but not in windowmaker. No errors appear when run from a terminal. What else could it be?

If I run: dbus-launch thunar
then it works fine. I never needed to do that before, but launching it this way works.

Upgraded to RC4 and Thunar automounting of hard drive partitions and usb sticks works fine in Xfce, Windowmaker, and Fluxbox. If you are having issues, you might want to consider removing some things from ~/.cache -- perhaps the Thunar and any Xfce related directories. I would also remove ~/.gvfs and then try again.

I deleted .dbus, .cache, .gvfs and maybe some more. Still only works if I launch with dbus-launch.

Running thunar alone now now produces an error message:
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.

@htitan - is your user a member of the plugdev group? That is required for the 20-plugdev-group-mount-override.pkla file in /etc/polkit/localauthority/50-local.d/.

Yes, user is a member of:

lp, audio, video, cdrom, plugdev and scanner.

Hmmm..... my own file is in a slightly different location:

and I have had to alter ~/.xintirc to:

to achieve auto-mounting. Not sure if this is relevant?
