** Description changed:

  I use Xubuntu 10.04 with the latest (up to 18:00 25.03.2010 Moscow time)
  updates installed.
  
  If automatic login is turned on, usb devices do not get automounted when
  plugged in.
  
  Steps to produce this issue:
  -use latest xubuntu LL beta
  -turn on automatic login (I enabled it in the installation dialog)
  -boot the system
  -plug in any usb flash stick or external HDD
  
  If you are autologin-ed, you can log off, then log in as the same user and 
everything goes normal then.
  If you are autologin-ed and plug a usb stick in, you may execute "gksu thunar 
&" and discover that root can see it, mount it, etc. But thunar without root 
privileges can not see the stick.
  
  I tested this issue with 2 usb sticks and one external HDD.

+ WORKAROUND:
+ Edit /etc/rc.local to add hald as follows:
+ 
+ sudo nano /etc/rc.local
+ 
+ add this above the exit 0, like so:
+ 
+ ~~~~~~~~~~
+ /usr/bin/hald
+ 
+ exit 0
+ ~~~~~~~~~~
+ 
+ Save
+ 
+ Ensure the execution bit is set:
+ 
+ sudo chmod u+x /etc/rc.local
+ 
+ reboot.
