I also have this problem and if it is the same bug I have narrowed it
down to "lightdm".
I am using Mint 17 (based on Ubuntu 14.04). Mint's default login
manager is "mdm" (fork of gdm). With it, usb devices are auto-mounted
just fine when plugged in.
When I install lightdm and choose it as the login manager, after reboot
then devices *do not auto-mount anymore*. Just as the previous poster,
the dmesg output shows that the device is correctly found and attached,
but not mounted. When I click on the device in Nautilus or Nemo, it
will then mount just fine, but it needs this manual interaction.
If I then uninstall lightdm, choosing mdm again as the display manager,
upon reboot the auto-mounting of usb devices works just fine again.
So.... it must be something in lightdm for me. A udev rule not
finishing somehow triggered by lightdm? An upstart trigger involving
lightdm that hangs things up? Any advice on where to look from here
appreciated.
