[Bug 1093901] [NEW] Does not automount hotplugged storage device - no USB, no CD/DVD

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have fresh install of Ubuntu Precise on new disk and automount doesn't
work on any USB storage device nor on CD/DVD.

The only possibility that "mounts" disk "automatically" is opening and
closing usb-creator-gtk. Then disk is available (and mounted) in
Nautilus. USB disk disappears from Nautilus after unmounting it using
click to "open" button next to disk name in Nautilus. Using trick with
usb-creator-gtk dosn't help everytime - e.g. Garmin Oregon 550 normally
connects as 2 USB disks - main device + inserted sd card. However, usb-
creator-gtk mounts only sd card.

I am able to mount disks manually.

I had the same behaviour on the same computer with my old installation
(originally Ubuntu 5.10 or 6.06 with regular upgrades to Precise) -
originally everything was working properly, problem with automounting
has appeared probably sometimes between July and September (I don't
remember exactly since I have attributed this to me messing up somehow
my installation).

If you need any additional info, I can provide it from my current and
also from old installation.
