I am using Sarge with a kernel 2.6.7-1-686. I have udev and hotplug and gnome-volume-manager. However, I do not get an icon automatically when I plug in a USB stick. In the other two machines in my home LAN, in which I am running Sid, I can get the icon consistently.
In this machine, running Sarge, I set up udev the same way as in other machines. Sometimes (rarely) when I plug in the USB stick I do get the icon on the desktop and it gets automatically mounted. Also, this hasn't happened for a few days now. Usually, it happens only if I insert the USB stick for the first time after reboot.
But syslog shows that it sees USB insertion and de-pluggin events consistently. I also get the links made in /dev as I have specified in udev rules files for the USB stick I have. The only thing that does not happens is that the icon does not appear on the desk and it does not get mounted automatically (just as if gnome-volumen-manager is not seeing the stick). I have tried it in 2.6.9 kernel as well, but it doesn't work there even. Any idea what I am missing here?
Do you have "pmount" installed and "gnome-volume-manager" running and registered in your Gnome session?

Before I answer your above queries, a little update. I rebooted my machine this morning and the USB stick was being mounted and the icon was being displayed properly on the desktop. Then I did an upgrade and noticed gnome-volume-manager (and probably hal) got upgraded. Since then, I again lost the USB stick automatic mounting and the icon on the desktop :(
pmount is installed: $> dpkg -l pmount | grep ^ii ii pmount 0.4.3-1 mount removable devices as normal user
And gnome-volume-manager is running:
$> ps uax | grep gnome-vol
me 5768 0.0 2.6 17684 6868 ? Ss 23:41 0:00 gnome-volume-manager --sm-client-id default5
I am not sure what "registered in gnome session" means though(?) Maybe this is the culprit.
thanks, ->HS
