USB devices do not automount on boot

[K900]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When I plug in a USB device before starting my computer and then boot Ubuntu I don't see the device on desktop or in Places menu. I can see it in computer://, but it's not mounted as it was in Karmic and early alphas

It works fine here on current lucid beta-2.

When you have this situation (booted with USB device, not automounted), can you please do

  apport-collect -p udisks 541063

and

  gvfs-mount -li > /tmp/gvfs.txt

and attach /tmp/gvfs.txt here?

I've got the same issue. I've done "apport-collect -p udisks 541063" and "gvfs-mount -li > /tmp/gvfs.txt" (you will find gvfs.txt attached here). The disk not mounted is the one called "NICO" in gvfs.txt.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Claudio,

is your USB stick called "VBTM Store 'n' Go"? It seems you only did "gvfs-mount -l", not "li". Can you please redo this with "-li"?

[Claudio Nicolotti (claudio-nicolotti)]

Thank you Martin,

I've done again "gvfs-mount -li > /tmp/gvfs.txt" and you will find the results in the attached tar.gz file.

The problem seems to be related to a "virtual" floppy drive. My PC does not have any kind of floppy drive but it was enabled in the BIOS. I've disabled it and now everything is working perfectly. The autologin session is a lot faster too.
In the attached file you will find 2 files: "gvfs_floppy_enabled.txt" is related to the test made with the floppy enabled in the BIOS, the "gvfs_floppy_disabled.txt" is the one related to the test made with the floppy disabled.

I hope this helps!
