Hi all,
I'm working on packaging XFCE for Porteus, which is a Slackware-based Linux-Live distribution that runs from a live CD or USB flash drive. I'm trying to keep it to a fairly minimal installation without dropping lots of features (I know that may be a bit of a bumpy road).
I'm presently stuck on something and am wondering if anyone knows a way around. I've cut gnome-keyring and gnome-disk-utility from my build (and hence from gvfs). I still have gvfs installed, and my trash bin is working properly. However, I'm having some trouble getting devices to automount (for example, flash drives and CD's). I can get my flash drives to automount using udev rules or devmon, which is a bash script that acts as an automounting daemon. However, the devices do not show up in the left pane of Thunar like they do when I have GDU/gnome-keyring included.
As far as I can tell, the critical component seems to be the creation of some kind of virtual volume. For example, when I run thunar from a console and plug in my drive, I get the error: "thunar-volman: Could not detect the volume corresponding to the device."
If I run gvfs-mount -oi and plug in the drive, I do get some output when the drive is automounted (e.g. via a udev rule), but it is much shorter than the comparable output when GDU/gnome-keyring are present.
for example:
gvfs-mount -oi
(plug in drive)

As you can see, there are messages about: "Volume added".
Without GDU/libgnome-keyring, I'm also unable to mount devices using gvfs-mount, for the same reason (no volume found).
I recompiled thunar-volman to include full debug output, and here's what I got...but I think it more or less confirms what I've written above:

thunar-volman: Could not detect the volume corresponding to the device.
So, I guess my question is this: Is there anyway outside of Gnome-Disk-Utility to create these virtual volumes, and have Thunar see them? Or, are we doomed to a life full of a dozen gnome deps that seem to serve no other purpose than to allow automounting?
Thanks for any advice or help!

Hi Ahau. I'm not a developer nor even a programmer, just an 'end-user'.
I don't mean to hack the thread and hope you have some alternative for your issue.
But I was just wondering: these dependencies needed for auto-mount are small aren't they? What would be the issue to have them?

Thanks, secipolla.
I suppose "small" is a relative term. In my case, the entire operating system (Porteus) is 250-300MB with kde3 or kde4, and I'd like to make it even smaller with XFCE, so I am watching every megabyte. I also want it to work quickly and smoothly on older systems with less RAM. It's not just gnome disk utility and gnome-keyring, it is also what they bring along with them. GDU requires avahi which requires libdaemon if you want it to run as a daemon (if I bother to have it installed, I'd probably want to run it as a daemon). Gnome-keyring has a number of dependencies in its chain as well.
The good news is, I've figured out that gnome-disk-utility can be compiled without gnome-keyring (did a big facepalm for that one after I typed out my first post), which will help out. I think I'll have to stick with GDU, but dropping keyring and a number of other deps that are turning out to be optional ought to help me out.
If folks are interested in a more complete list of what I wind up with, just let me know.
Cheers!

Well done.
thunar-volman doesn't work for me in Fedora (I've even un-installed it), IIRC it didn't work in Debian, it didn't work either with the Phinx live-CD but works fine in Porteus (live-CD).

Thanks, secipolla!
Looking back at this thread, I was able to drop gnome-keyring, libgnomekeyring, GConf and ORBit and still had automounting working, but then we switched all editions of Porteus over to network-manager, which requires them...so they got wrapped back in after all

I let go of even starting to look at gvfs/udisks/udisks2 issues as to find out why auto-mount with thunar-volman doesn't work here.
So I built pcmanfm from git and its auto-mount feature works.
