Comment 3 for bug 529379

I've just come across this same problem booting from the Lubuntu Lucid Alpha 3 LiveCD on my Intel MacBook Pro.

One of the features I most appreciate about pcmanfm is the way all connected volumes are detected and listed in the side pane of the pcmanfm window, where a simple click allows the relevant volume to be mounted and browsed.

What first caught my attention was the lack of an entry for the MacBook's own internal HDD in the pcmanfm side pane. I then tried plugging in a variety of USB sticks, again without any of them showing up there (or anywhere else in the gui). So, yes - we're back to the command line if we want to actually mount anything.

I think this might have something to do with the move from pcmanfm 0.5.2 to pcmanfm 0.9.0 (see <http://blog.lxde.org/?p=616>) and the deprecation of HAL in favour of gvfs (<http://blog.lxde.org/?p=538>).

That said, the LXDE blog <http://blog.lxde.org/?p=616> cited above does list "8. Basic auto-mount (provided by gvfs)" as of the "Major improvements" offered under pcmanfm 0.9.0...

Hope this is helpful.
