USB media no longer shows up in file manager for root or normal users
I'm running the latest x86 Debian Sid.
The norm was that when USB media was plugged in would show up
in /media where I could mount it by clicking on the appropriate
icon in Thunar file manager. This was for my regular user account.
Suddenly, USB media no longer shows up in Thunar. I have to mount them as
root.

I don't recall ever having to mess with udev or its rules. Plugging in media
just worked for a normal user. I am a member of plugdev, I should mention.
my fstab:

How do I go back to the way things were?
