Bug#740246: nautilus: Stopped automounting media in /media/<username>

[Manuel Bilderbeek]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.8.2-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I don't know, possibly the upgrading of some package (I upgrade my
testing distro daily).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I plug in a USB stick or a USB external harddisk.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Nothing happens (in Nautilus).

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I used to get a pop-up about the plugged in USB drive and it would be
shown in the Places menu and in the Computer menu and in all menus where
'file locations' are shown. But that doesn't happen anymore.

Some other observations:
- I do see the device getting plugged in when I look at dmesg, for
  example:
[ 3366.852017] usb 1-6: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci
[ 3366.984837] usb 1-6: New USB device found, idVendor=0781, idProduct=5406

[ 3368.696247] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdf] Assuming drive cache: write through
[ 3368.697879]  sdf: sdf1
- also udevadm monitor sees the device coming by
- the automount options in dconf-editor are all enabled as they should
  be (by default)

So why are my USB drives not mounted (and shown) anymore by Nautilus?
