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:

Code:

(Thunar:7622): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: New owner :1.453 for volume monitor org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor connected to the bus; seeding drives/volumes/mounts

(Thunar:7622): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking List() failed for type GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

(Thunar:7622): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: New owner :1.455 for volume monitor org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor connected to the bus; seeding drives/volumes/mounts

(Thunar:7622): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking List() failed for type GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

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.

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.

htitan · 09-04-2012, 10:07 PM

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/.

htitan · 09-04-2012, 11:44 PM

Yes, user is a member of:

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

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

Code:

root@skamandros/home/andrew# find /etc -iname 20-plugdev-group-mount-override.pkla
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/20-plugdev-group-mount-override.pkla

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

Code:

# Start the window manager:
if [ -z "$DESKTOP_SESSION" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then
  exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/startfluxbox
else
  exec /usr/bin/startfluxbox
fi

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