I'll revive this topic. I have it working on one of my system but on my other (new system as well) auto-mounting in XFCE4 is not working, I have in n XFCE under: - Removable Drivers and Media: --> Mount removable drives when hot-plugged (checked) user is in "wheel, usb" group. When I plug the usb device the XFCE is trying to auto-mount the usb as the message is popping up but it keeps telling me: Authentication is required for mounting external /dev/sda1 Why it worked on one system but not on another? What is missing?
