Can this be a dbus issue?

MO it could, but as written off-list in German, udev might be the
culprit too. And for GNOME-like DE's such as Xfce, it should be the
task of gvfs, while for KDE it might be KIO.

A security issue might be possible too, perhaps the kid family is
broken, policy kit or whatever might have to do with it.

My daughter has similar problem. I investigated it remotely only, but
it seems, that the CD/DVD drive is not recognized at boot time. Then it
is not a DE's related problem. I cannot tell more yet.

Hi Matthias,

I'm not an expert, but from my reading of the manpages for udev and
udisks if you run the following command in the terminal
udisks --monitor
and try and load a cd and later eject it. You should see some messages
at this point.

If this works, your udev rules are fine. You'd then have to look at the
desktop side - gvfs in gnome's case.

In case this doesn't work your issue lies somewhere between the kernel
and udev - driver issue or rules issue.

Sincerely,
Kailash



Hi,
For looking into D-BUS you can run
dbus-monitor
from the terminal and try popping in a CD to see if it shows messages being passed.

For automount it seems that nautilus is the actor in Gnome:

In XFCE, when you install xfce4-goodies it includes a mount plugin (xfce4-mount-plugin)

But as Chris put it, it could simply be the trigger action that's needed.
