When I try so via command line I get this timeout error $ gnome-disks (gnome-disks:4229): GNOME-Disks-ERROR **: Error getting udisks client: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.UDisks2: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Activation of org.freedesktop.UDisks2 timed out [1] 4229 trace trap (core dumped) gnome-disks Something is wrong on my Ubuntu 15.04 machine. Even when I slot in an USB stick it won't always recognize it. Sometimes it does after a reboot. Any ideas what this could be?
