User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0 (Ubuntu-edgy) Build Identifier: XFce shows mountable devices such as /dev/sda1 in Thunar and on the desktop. I have a card reader in my Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop which mounts inserted cards at the node /dev/mmcblk0p1. When I insert a card, it is not shown on the desktop or automatically mounted. I can mount that node using 'mount' on the command line, so the device definitely is working. Adding the device node to /etc/fstab does not make a difference. I am using Xubuntu 6.10 (Edgy). The details of the card reader (from lspci) are as follows: 03:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd Unknown device 0832 03:01.1 Class 0805: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 19) 03:01.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Unknown device 0843 (rev 01) 03:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 0a) 03:01.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 05) I suspect this is because the device node is not /dev/[hs]d? or /dev/scd?. My DVD drive (which is /dev/scd0) works as expected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Place a card in the card reader. 2. Wait for Thunar and XFdesktop to update with an icon to mount it. Actual Results: Nothing. Expected Results: An icon should show on the desktop and in the left pane of Thunar, giving an option to mount the device.
When a card is inserted, Nautilus displays the device as an "SD/MMC Drive" in the file browser and on the desktop. Thunar does not do this. The following output is from 'lshal -m', running as a card is inserted, mounted and then unmounted and removed: pci_1180_822_mmc_host_mmc_card_rca40956 added pci_1180_822_mmc_host_mmc_card_rca40956_storage added volume_uuid_3539_6237 added volume_uuid_3539_6237 property volume.mount_point = '/media/card' volume_uuid_3539_6237 property volume.is_mounted = true volume_uuid_3539_6237 property volume.mount_point = '' volume_uuid_3539_6237 property volume.is_mounted = false volume_uuid_3539_6237 removed pci_1180_822_mmc_host_mmc_card_rca40956 removed pci_1180_822_mmc_host_mmc_card_rca40956_storage removed
Please post the output of hal-device for your device.
Created attachment 917 hal-device output for card reader
This one contains neither a block device nor a volume, nothing that could be mounted.
Just in case I missed something, I'll attach my complete (unedited) output from hal-device and lspci -v. My card reader is a Ricoh R5C592.

Your card reader doesn't seem to show up. Make sure you insert a card prior to running hal-device.
Created attachment 922 hal-device output after a card has been inserted and mounted
Created attachment 926 Possible fix Yes, that helped! Please try the attached patch, requires latest Thunar and libexo from SVN.
