I have problem with plugged in usb devices not showing up nor mounting on my Siduz KDE system. I can mount disks via the cmd line using pmount but nothing shows up automatically in KDE.
The twist to the story is that this issue seems to be only on my account. The other user accounts seem to show the plugged in usb disks on the desktop but still can't access it cause don't have the read/write privileges.
Is there a solution/fix to this problem?
I'm not sure, but could it be that automount or autofs are responsible for this... See if they are running.

Perhaps this may help
sudo mv /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvend or/10-storage-policy.fdi /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvend or/10-storage-policy.fdi.backup

The resolution was that I moved the /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvend or/10-storage-policy.fdi file. After i did that everything worked as it should.
If you want to try it open a terminal and type
sudo mv /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvend or/10-storage-policy.fdi /home/your own home folder name
Is your account a member of the plugdev group?

I actually installed autofs after readng your reply (using apt-get) so I guess it wasn't installed before!! but it now is and I'm assuming it'd be running now (is there a way to check it??) howeve, there is no fix as I still have to manually "pmount" the ext usb drives.

The thread you linked seemed very interesting but didn't really worked either. For starters, I had no "10-storage-policy.fdi" file.... all the files under my
"/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osven dor/" were:
10-cpufreq.fdi
10-power-mgmt-policy.fdi
20-ntfs-config-write-policy.fdi
10-dell-laptop-brightness.fdi
10-rfkill-switch.fdi
20-storage-methods.fdi
10-keyboard-policy.fdi
10-usbcsr-mice.fdi debian-storage-policy-ignore-fixed -crypto-drives.fdi
10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi
15-storage-luks.fdi
so maybe there lies the problem????
