USB devices SOLVED

I often use USB sticks and external USB devices. They get mounted alright in bunsenlabs but can only be used after I click on them in the filemanager. That is inconvinient. Does anybody has a tip on a good small utility that automounts on connect? I used udiskie but it's a little slow.

I use usbmount on raspbian, but no idea if mount speed is any better.

Re: USB devices SOLVED

i'm pretty sure thunar's volume manager can be configured to do just that.

Re: USB devices SOLVED

Make sure thunar is running as a daemon in your ~/.config/openbox/autostart file.
Add:

## Start Thunar Daemon, if set as bl-file-manager
if [ "$(readlink -f $(which bl-file-manager))" = "$(which thunar)" ]
then
    thunar --daemon &
fi

Then log out and back in. This will be in the next release of bunsen-configs, but existing users still need to add it manually.

Re: USB devices SOLVED

@Johnraff : this works. Only 'problem' is that thunar also opens a window showing the drive contents. Is there a way to avoid this window opening?

Yes, in a Thunar window: Edit>Preferences>Advanced>(check "enable volume management")>Configure the management....
and choose the behaviour you want.
