Bug Description
I'm using Linux Mint 14 Mate 64bit.
We have several user accounts on this machine. This bug occurs when two user are logged in. It does not occur when only one user is logged in.
When connecting a flash drive to the front usb port, the drive does not automount as expected. Instead a dialog window appears, saying "Einhängen von Datenträger 2,1 GB nicht möglich". In English that means: "Mounting the volume 2,1 GB is not possible". When I switch to my wifes account at that moment, I can see that Mint 14 tried to mount the flash drive on her account, though it was my account that was active when I inserted the flash drive. On my wife's account Mint 14 says: "authentication is required to mount". When I click "Cancel" and go back to my account, I then get the same dialog box saying "authentication is required to mount". Then I can type my password and afterwards mount the flash drive.
I checked dconf-editor, but found no option to set automount in the nemo preferences. I recognized, that usb flash drives are mounted at "media/username" in Linux Mint 14. In older versions, like Linux Mint 11, flash drives were mounted at "media" directly. I am not sure if this has something to do with the automount problem.
The bug does not always show. In rare cases automount works fine, even when two users a logged in.
Any help for getting back the automount feature is very much appreciated.
