[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#884530: how I am attempting to mount the removable drives

[Ed Hamilton]

I am using xfce4 desktop. one of the applications I run at startup is a 
script, which I found online, to automatically mount any connected 
removable USB drives.

the script is shown here:

[ed at sid ~]$ cat ~/Dropbox/bin/mountallUSB

#!/bin/sh

udisksctl dump |
   awk -F':\n' -v'RS=\n\n' '/[ \t]*HintAuto:[ \t]*true/&&/\.Filesystem:/{
                              print $1
                            }' |
   while read dev
   do
     udisksctl mount --object-path "${dev##*/UDisks2/}"
   done

---

The expected behavior is to mount all the USB drives on /media/ed/<label>

The actual behavior is

[ed at sid ~]$ mountallUSB
Error connecting to the udisks daemon: Error calling StartServiceByName 
for org.freedesktop.UDisks2: 
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.NoSuchUnit: Unit udisks2.service 
not found.

----

In addition, none of the GUI file managers are showing the USB drives in 
the sidebar. I tried thunar, nemo, and caja.

here is the output of blkid and df as root. Note, I dual boot with 
stretch on /dev/sda1. that is why "stretch" shows up in this output.

I think this all has something to do with polkit (whatever that is), 
because I also can not suspend or shutdown from the user name dropdown 
on the panel. But I don't know how to fix it. I will try suspending and 
shutting down from the command line, but I want to post this first.
