[Bug 1093901] Re: Does not automount hotplugged storage device - no USB, no CD/DVD

[Jan Cejka]

After more searching I have found solution in Bug #571038 -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/571038

Package that causes troubles - udisks

Symptoms:
# gvfs-mount -l
(gvfs-mount:7200): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking IsSupported() failed for remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.GduVolumeMonitor: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled: Process /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor received signal 6

#gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor
libgdu:ERROR:gdu-pool.c:2369:device_recurse: assertion failed: (depth < 100)

Problem:
Problem is explained in linked bug by Mikhail Titov, comment #28 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/571038/comments/28
Cause of the problem is somehow "broken" partition table that udisks cannot parse properly. Udisks reads partition type 5 instead of real partition type and this leads to recursion.

Solution:
What solves the problem is patch from Mikhail, all steps explained in comment #46 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/571038/comments/46

Bug report was submitted to udisks, not solved since current version is
2.0.* and Ubuntu is using version 1.0.4

Would you, Ubuntu guys, make patched version of udisks (using Mikhail's
patch) available through your repositories? Many "automount not working"
bugs as well as some other bugs like palimpsest might be influenced by
this bug.

** Package changed: gvfs (Ubuntu) => udisks (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: udisks (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
  Does not automount hotplugged storage device - no USB, no CD/DVD

Status in “udisks” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have fresh install of Ubuntu Precise on new disk and automount
  doesn't work on any USB storage device nor on CD/DVD.

  The only possibility that "mounts" disk "automatically" is opening and
  closing usb-creator-gtk. Then disk is available (and mounted) in
  Nautilus. USB disk disappears from Nautilus after unmounting it using
  click to "open" button next to disk name in Nautilus. Using trick with
  usb-creator-gtk dosn't help everytime - e.g. Garmin Oregon 550
  normally connects as 2 USB disks - main device + inserted sd card.
  However, usb-creator-gtk mounts only sd card.

  I am able to mount disks manually.

  I had the same behaviour on the same computer with my old installation
  (originally Ubuntu 5.10 or 6.06 with regular upgrades to Precise) -
  originally everything was working properly, problem with automounting
  has appeared probably sometimes between July and September (I don't
  remember exactly since I have attributed this to me messing up somehow
  my installation).

  If you need any additional info, I can provide it from my current and
  also from old installation.
