[SOLVED]Thunar stops showing removable devices

Hi all,
Today, I noticed that thunar has stopped showing me my removable devices. I don't know when this issue really happened really but all I know is that, last weekend when I inserted my mp3 device, Thunar showed it and I had an icon on my desktop. I hadn't modify any configuration files, just made all upgrades.
Here are related packages installed here :
extra/gvfs 1.10.1-1
core/dbus-core 1.4.16-1
extra/dbus 1.4.16-1
extra/dbus-glib 0.98-1
extra/thunar 1.2.3-2
extra/thunar-volman 0.6.0-2
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
Tovo R.

if he is having this issue in Gnome-Shell specifically, then it's not the same issue. *Gnome-Shell uses it's own internal version of polkit's agent* ~ as discussed in that thread.. If he is using gnome-fallback (with openbox?), then that is where the polkit-authentification-agent-1 issue applies.

Thunar doesn't automatically mount removable devices

This is a newbie question, but I cannot find how Thunar automatically mounts removable devices. I've read the wiki and it says that I don't have to do anything else besides installing Thunar. Once I plug in my removable device, it can be seen in lsblk, but I need to manually mount it using the terminal. Thunar doesn't do anything to make it appear in the file system. Did I miss something?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Th … me_Manager says
While Thunar can support automatic mounting and unmounting of removable media, the Thunar Volume Manager allows extended functionality, such as automatically running commands or automatically opening a Thunar window for mounted media.
so thunar-volman shouldn't be required.
Exactly. However, I tried to install the volume manager, but it didn't help. It should work without it.

I didn't (judging from the fact that writing gvfs in the terminal didn't find anything). I installed it, but nothing changed. How to configure it?

DFM stops showing alerts - LMS 4.2

Hej all
Our DFM is very unstable, I mean that with no apparent reason stops showing what devices are in alert state. I can see that I have 5 alerts right now but the Fault Monitor is just loading.
Checked DFM processes and DFMServer, DFMserver1 and DfmBroker are running normally. All the other DFM* processes are showing "
Program started - No mgt msgs received".
We are using a Linux appliance.
Could anybody help me here please?
Best regards
Isaac Alves

Hello Ngoldwat
Sorry for the delay on answering back but I got some days off.
I see the alerts on the right end corner right next to TAC Service requests.
No changes have been made on the server cause right now I am the only one administrating it.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Best regards
Isaac

[SOLVED] Openbox+Thunar, how to show usb devices in thunar?

Hi. I've been running a pretty standard Xfce environment for a while. When I plug in a usb drive, I get a new item pop up in the "DEVICES" section of the left panel in thunar (note, it doesn't automount the device, it just shows that it's there and only mounts it when I click on it...I like this behaviour).
Now, I'm setting up an even lighter-weight environment, just openbox and tint2 with thunar as the file manager. But when I'm logged into the openbox environment, I don't get the item in the "DEVICES" section in thunar (but it still works fine in xfce).
If it run thunar from the command line and plug in a usb drive I get this message in the terminal
(thunar:21205): thunar-WARNING **: Failed to launch the volume manager (Failed to execute child process "thunar-volman" (No such file or directory)), make sure you have the "thunar-volman" package installed.
I don't see why I would need thunar-volman if it works fine in xfce. If I install thunar-volman and do the same, I get this message
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unknown block device type.
So I'm wondering if maybe there is a daemon that is autostarted during an xfce session that makes thunar probe for devices to be plugged in or something like that. Why does it work in an xfce session, but not in an openbox session?

Thanks for your replies.
henk: I tried installing polkit-gnome and creating the rule as per the wiki, but it didn't work. Volume detection seems to work fine in xfce without this package.
jv2112: I added udiskie to .config/openbox/autostart and it seems to work. I've had problems with udiskie in the past; it seemed to have some trouble unmounting the drives properly after a write as I would find that the newly written files were corrupt. But it seems to be working fine.
I'll mark this as solved, but I'm still curious as to how xfce-thunar is mounting the usb devices.
One clue is that with udiskie, devices get mounted to /media, whereas in xfce they get mounted to /var/run/media/username/ (or something like that).

[SOLVED] Thunar doesn't show external volumes anymore

Hello,
Thunar used to show external devices (USB sticks, iPod, ...) in the left panel (when displaying shortcuts instead of tree). For some reason I can't figure, it doesn't do it anymore.
All I have in the left panel is the standard "home, Desktop, filesystem" and the static links to the different folders I placed there.
I tried to uninstall completely thunar and remove the configuration files, then re-install it, but it changed nothing.
Desktop : openbox.

Airplay symbol stopped showing on iOS5 devices

Airplay symbol used to show on iPad2 and iPhone4S for use with Apple TV(2). Now it just stopped showing up.
I tried reset of ATV. All devices are on the same wireless network. All devices are logged into the same iTunes account.
Any suggestions?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

[SOLVED] urxvt has stopped showing accents

Hello,
Quite suddenly (to me) urxvt has stopped showing á, é, í, ñ and the like. They worked yesterday, and they still work in console and xterm -- the latter uses a different font, but the former does not.
The relevant section of .Xresources:
URxvt.font: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
URxvt.boldFont: -*-terminus-bold-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
and the whole /etc/vconsole.conf:
KEYMAP="es"
FONT=ter-114n
#FONT_MAP=8859-1_to_uni
FONT_MAP=8859-1
Is anyone seeing anything strange? The only relevant change I can think of is that I have removed initscripts. I've been using systemd for some weeks and (I thought) the package was just there sitting idly. Maybe it wasn't.

I'm also experiencing this after the switch to systemd.

Maybe this has something to do with locale settings?

Hi all, im from dubai. someone stolen my iphone5. i was trying to erase my data via find my iphone. in the end there was a notification that remove. i have click remove. then it never shows my device in find my iphone. how can i see my device in my pc...?

Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

What does it mean when a lost phone stops showing up on device list on find iPhone app?

What does it mean when a lost iPhone stops showing up in device list on find iPhone app?

That means:
The battery is dead
The phone has been turned off
The phone is no longer connected to the cellular network or a WiFi network
The Find my iPhone service has been turned off
The phone has been wiped.
The bottom line is, it means you're probably never going to be able to locate it unless you can physically find it.

Konsole and Yakuake stopped showing prompt...[SOLVED]

Hi,
Probably a very obvious but I could not find the culprit. After I updated my system (32Bit plain Arch) to KDE 4.11, Konsole and Yakuake stopped showing prompt, just a cursor on top left and most importantly, they do not accept input. Xterm and rxvt-unicode is installed, I reinstalled them, and I also checked konsolerc, but nothing is wrong there. Also, when I use krunner using Alt-F2 to summon a program like gparted with "kdesu gparted" it returns "su cannot be located, check your PATH". I check, and su is in path.
There is something I miss, but what? Help please.
Thank you in advance.
Anil

Instead of trying to overtake an old (solved) thread, it would probably be better if you started your own. You have already established that you likely have an entirely different issue. So I am not entirely sure what you hoped to accomplish by posting here in the first place.

Device stops showing on computer when I connect iPod or phone.

My iPod device no longer shows in iTunes when I connect. And then when I unplugged the USB connection, the iPod is stuck on "Connected" and will not go back to the regular view. My phone has also stopped showing up as a device connection on my hard drive, even though it shows as connected.
I disconnected Firewall in case that was the problem, but it hasn't changed the problem. Can anyone help?

My photos have stopped showing up on my pc from my iPhone. They do still show up on my iPad. I have signed out of iCloud on my pc and then signed in, but that didn't help. Very puzzling. Any help?

My iphone photos have stopped showing up in my photo stream folder on my pc. They do show up on my iPad. I tried signing out and back into to iCloud on my pc, but no help. Any ideas?

The iCloud backup only backs up your camera roll photos, not photo stream photos. Also, photos only remain in photo stream for 30 days. After that they are removed from your photo stream, but will remain on your devices that already have them. If all your photo stream photos are older than 30 days, that would explain why they don't stream to your iPhone 5 even though they are on your iPad.
To get them on your phone, you can use an app like PhotoSync, which will wirelessly transfer photos from any album (including photo stream) between your devices. Alternatively, you can save the photo stream photos to the camera roll on your iPad (by opening the My Photo Stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), put them in a folder, then select the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync them to your phone.
