Public bug reported:

Hello All,
Automount of USB devices seems not to work on my fresh installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Thinkpad T43.
The same devices are working on my older Thinkpad T23 which I just upgraded from 9.04 --> 9.10 --> 10.04.
Allthough it is not mounted $ ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/ shows the attached USB device.

Also the devices (USB sticks and MP3 player / Ipod) are showing up under
'lsusb' and 'blkid', 'fdisk -l' (see details below). They are just not
auto-mounted and thus don't appear on the desktop as I would expect.
Also this is how it works on my other PC and laptop with Ubuntu 9.04 and
10.04 without any intervention.

I greatly appreciate any help or hints !

Thanks in advance !
