[opensuse-factory] automounting USB devices with xfce on 12.3

[Guido Berhoerster]

I usually update my system with the traditional yast method. Now on
12.3, xfce no longer automounts devices in my USB card-reader. I think
it used to work on 12.2, and it definitely work on a 12.3 installation
from scratch.
How can I debug this on my updated 12.3 system? Do others suffer from
the same? If yse, I'd create a bug.

Works fine for me. First, check your settings in "Removable
Drives and Media" in the Settings Manager, then see if there is
any output from thunar-volman in .xsession-errors. Please also
post the output produced by the following commands when you
insert the card:

gvfs-mount --monitor --detail
udisks --monitor-detail
as root: udevadm monitor --udev --property

In addition, please post the output of ck-list-sessions.
Since this doesn't concern Factory we should probably discuss any
further details on opensuse-***@.

I just remembered me that I switch to Nautilus last time. But now at
least for testing, I use thunar.

Looks good, automounting is activated, and no output in
.xsession-errors.

Command does not exist; I used "udisksctl monitor ...".

as root: udevadm monitor --udev --property

All three command without any output.

OK, so it looks like the problem is on the udev/kernel level if
the card insertion is not detected here, unfortunately that's
outside my area of expertise :( You might want to check with the
users or better the kernel list on how to debug this. Maybe dmesg
gives some hints?

Thanks for all your help! Stupid me, yes, it looks like a hardware
issue. The front panel USB plugs seem to be broken. Those on the back
work. But initially it takes some time until they get detected (~
20 seconds).
