Is this no change in being able to mount the stick as a user or being
able to auto-mount?
1. and 2. are alternatives. Without either of them, trying to mount the
drive from a right click on its desktop icon gives 'Permission Denied'.
Some people report 1. does not work for them. A third alternative is to
remove xdm and install GDM3 or LightDM.
Auto-mounting needs thunar-volman installed and Volume Management enabled
in Thunar.
