Hello!

I'm using pcmanfm with LXDE.
I have udisks installed and globally enabled as USE flag.

Basically, I would just want to have my USB drives to automount and show up in pcmanfm window.

Let's grab an example with a USB drive, here's the fstab part:
Code:
/dev/kingston16G1                       /mnt/usbdrive/kingston1         vfat    rw,user         0 0


There, adding the "auto" option before "rw,user" doesn't change a thing
And this is my .xinitrc if that helps:

Code:
exec startlxde
xset -dpms
xset s off


I still have to precise that in pcmanfm settings, all the relevant auto-mounting options are properly ticked.

Do we have pcmanfm users who could give me a clue about this, browsing arch and more documentation on the internet didn't help much.

Many thanks in advance for your help! :)

pcmanfm doesn't mount according to fstab.
Hence an example:
Inserting USB key triggers a popup menu to validate the mounting.
Once accepted, pcmanfm mounts volume(s) as;
Code:
/run/media/user/UEFI_NTFS
/run/media/user/CCCOMA_X64FRE_FR-FR_DV9
Plz note how volumes paths are relative to logged user.

Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

U have problematic .xinitrc.
Any line beyond exec will not be executed.

Here
Code:
exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startlxde
may be required for working USB automount.
