[Solved] Thunar and automounting media

Hello!

I have got a problem with usb and cd media in Thunar since switching from 4.6 to 4.8 on Debian testing.

I installed pmount and usbmount for automounting my media, this works fine and my devices are automagicaly mounted in /media.

Sadly they aren’t accessible through the Thunar side-panel shortcut, making the file manager crashing/closing if I click on it! Also, if I try to eject the device, an error message appears : “Error at ejection : one or more partitions are busy on /dev/sdc”.

Here is the result of the fdisk command :

#fdisk -l

I made some research and found those discussions :

But my problem still remains…

Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: [Solved] Thunar and automounting media

Is the package "gvfs" installed?

Hi! Thanks for your quick answer.

Yes the gvfs and gvfs-bin packages are installed, as well as the thunar-volman package…

Re: [Solved] Thunar and automounting media

Finally solved the problem! The solution was to remove pmount and usbmount packages.

Still can’t figure out why those package were causing the bug…

Thanks anyway!
