Hmm, so the circumstances triggering the bug are more complicated.

When investigating a different bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539515 ) I added some logging to the nautilus code that is responsible for automounting ( http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49434240/UGe-logging.patch )

The log shows that the callback in nautilus to handle possible automounts is not even called when I insert a CDROM.

I have not digged any deeper yet where the indication should come from and why it doesn't come.

If you J. McDonald have a system where automount works it would nice to compare to logs between a working one and a non-working one. I have not seen a single automount work in Lucid.

Currently the logging is only available as a patch. However, if you are willing to investigate more but would prefer a binary package, please let me know. I can't promise look into it every day, but maybe a couple of hours each week. Of course we would need to add more logging / log at different system components to really see what is going wrong. The current logging is just a start.
