I can confirm that when it happened to me, I had gdm as login manager and not lightdm.
Since the upgrade to 14.04, it happened just one time in one laptop (solved by login/logout) with Ubuntu Gnome, and never in my other laptop which has Xubuntu. So for me it is happening now very rarely; last time I seen it was more than a month ago --- I can't remember. My guess is that the DBUS connection between udidskd and the desktop get lost, or stuck. Probably related to the DM, yes. Would not be surprising if lightdm and gdm share some bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241811 Title: USB disk not automatically mounted after upgrade to 13.10 Status in GVFS: New Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “nautilus-udisks” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Since the upgrade to 13.10, my laptop stopped mounting the USB devices (and SD cards too) automatically.

I checked the dconf variables as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB but it's all correctly set. I can mount the disk by hand: % sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt % mount | grep mnt /dev/sdc1 on /mnt type vfat (rw) ...and it works ok. Add: using from command line udisks works, too: (0)samsung-romano:~% udisks --mount /dev/sdc1 Mounted /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdc1 at /media/PENDRIVE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/1241811/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
