(Solved) SLiM issues and mounting drives with the new images
Is anyone to mount a usb or another partition with the new images?
I have several partitions that I do not mount in fstab
In the past I have always just clicked on them and would be presented an option to enter my password and they mounted. That does not work anymore, it just tells me that I am not authorized .. this is in both Thunar and PcmanFM
So I loaded lightdm and tried the same thing in both Thunar and PcmanFM and was presented with the password option and the mounts worked
According to this post on aptosid, it is a known issue with SLiM
Can anyone confirm also that SLiM is no longer a maintained app?

Re: (Solved) SLiM issues and mounting drives with the new images
Morning Vast1,
moooorning Ivo 
I have no idea if the new statlers have gvfs installed, probably yes.
Are you people using a .xinitrc file with the epic exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session ?
If this doen't work, maybe some udev rules will do: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev
Edit: Of course I mean those who use Slim, not LightDM or LXDM

^ Gvfs is installed at least here on Wheezy but you have the point, I think I do not use this .xinitrc stuff.

Re: (Solved) SLiM issues and mounting drives with the new images
There are more and more people complaining about not to be able to mount various drives.
I looked at Wikipedia and the last version of Slim is from summer 2010. Not sure if that indicates inactivity.

Morning MB..
I agree... and lightdm can be configured to whatever you want it to look like and is incredibly light

Yes yes, I am aware of this, that's why I mention the other one Some things on the new images I don't understand. For one gdm is kicked, but evince is kept (see gtk dependencies) although epdfview would be a nice alternative, xfce4-screenshooter is still there which probably has some xfce dependencies; and those who will upgrade to Thunar 1.2.3 will need to uninstall gvfs, else thunar will open twice after half a minute

Re: (Solved) SLiM issues and mounting drives with the new images
^ Yeah VastOne, this is what I mean - I have purged gvfs and the delay was gone.
Thunar 1.2.3-2, gvfs 1.10.1-2

Re: (Solved) SLiM issues and mounting drives with the new images
I have gvfs and thunar 1.2.3, no delays here. Ok my gvfs version on Wheezy is still on 1.8.2. But I never experienced this delay.
Is that gvfs of any need at all on Xfce 4.8?

Re: (Solved) SLiM issues and mounting drives with the new images
I think this enables Thunar to browse samba, and I guess it is also there because of gigolo. I would say it is not needed if you don't connect to remote locations.
Edit: are network places shown in your Thunar, ivo?

Re: (Solved) SLiM issues and mounting drives with the new images
That's interesting. So it means that if Thunar >=1.2 and gvfs<1.10 there's no delay.

Re: (Solved) SLiM issues and mounting drives with the new images
In my experience, the delay and the double thunar was caused by gvfs-backends, not by gvfs.
Yes, and seemingly not for every user. I thought it is gvfs-smb, does that belong to the backends?
Edit: It does. So removing the gvfs-backends solves the delay.

Re: (Solved) SLiM issues and mounting drives with the new images
Yes, over half a year already. The reason I switched back to PCManFM. Since having removed all gvfs-related stuff the delay has disappeared, and I don't use FTP/Remote/Samba anyway, so ... However, a purge shouldn't be the solution.
As long as it works for the Stable folks, out of the box, everything is ok

Re: (Solved) SLiM issues and mounting drives with the new images
Does anyone know how to fix this because all my files are on my external HDD, so my PC is virtually useless if it can't access it. After the hell I've been through trying to install a working operating system (my disc drive is faulty and 90% of the time the install will fail -it's literally a game of luck), I really can't stress enough how I don't want to try and install another one
Even if it's just a temporary fix like a command line to mount the HDD instead. Help is much appreciated.

Re: (Solved) SLiM issues and mounting drives with the new images
We can add the drive to /etc/fstab
Open a terminal and enter sudo blkid then post the output here
