Comment 15 for bug 1946525

I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu 21.10. It's NOT a VirtualBox virtual machine, but an Ubuntu desktop installation on a physical volume.

When I insert any usb device, it doesn't get mounted, despite org.gnome.desktop.media-handling configuration:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount
true
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open
true

Here is dmesg log after connecting my smartphone via usb:
