Quite a lot of rubbish for something that can be scripted in bash and executed automatically.
Amen to that.

Thank you for your extensive answer.
Of course thunar-volman is installed and the options are set. Next I will check the installation of the other packages.
And I will heed your advice.

Hello machinbacon,
thank you for the extensive answer.
I will check the installed packages. Perhaps there is something missing. But not before weekend.
I will also heed your advice.
Best regards

I do not care about automounting usb sticks, but if I did, I'd use usbmount.

So, I checked installed packeges. And what a mistake: I confounded libpolkit with policykit-1.
I installed policykit-1, and now mounting as unprivileged users and shutdown from lightdm work. YEAHH!
Only one thing is left: shutdown and reboot as user without password. But I think I can solve it soon.
Thank you all for your help.

You edited some files manually, maybe there's the foul egg somewhere. I guarantee that these things worked on a fresh install noX -> XFCE4 with the instructions posted. Else I wouldn't have posted it.

I'm a pmount guy myself. Any time I need a file manager (which is never since I found the grill) I was using mc, but I've been playing around with vimfm and trying to figure that out.
Pointing and clicking to manage my files is something I don't see myself ever doing again.

I used pmount for a little while. Then I gave sudo users no-password access to mount and umount and removed pmount.
/etc/sudoers (use visudo) :
Code: Select all
%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/mount, /bin/umount
I have aliases for "sudo mount" and "sudo umount" so I don't have to type the full commands, and they don't require a password.
