Comment 0 for bug 1241811

Since the upgrade to 13.10, my laptop stopped mounting the USB devices (and SD cards too) automatically.

Inserting the USB I have in the log:

But after that nothing happens. I checked the dconf variables as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB but it's all correctly set. I can mount the disk by hand:

% sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
% mount | grep mnt
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt type vfat (rw)

...and it works ok.
