Title:
  USB automount not working but fdisk -l shows device

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello All,
  Automount of USB devices seems not to work on my fresh installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Thinkpad T43.
  The same devices are working on my older Thinkpad T23 which I just upgraded from 9.04 --> 9.10 --> 10.04.
  Allthough it is not mounted $ ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/ shows the attached USB device.

  Also the devices (USB sticks and MP3 player / Ipod) are showing up
  under 'lsusb' and 'blkid', 'fdisk -l' (see details below). They are
  just not auto-mounted and thus don't appear on the desktop as I would
  expect. Also this is how it works on my other PC and laptop with
  Ubuntu 9.04 and 10.04 without any intervention.

  I greatly appreciate any help or hints !

  Thanks in advance !
