USB device doesn't mount in Linux Mint 20.1 XFCE using usbguard

Post by Baraka05 »

Hi linux Mint forum users.

I installed Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa XFCE, and when i plug a usb devide, thunar doesn't automount it. I checked the automount options in Prefencerence->Advanced->Volume Manager->Enable Volume Management (checked active) and in Removible Medium checked activated the three options: Mount removible units when connected , Mount removible media when connected and Navigate in removible medium when inserted.

My lsblk -f shows:

Code: Select all

My dmesg | grep usb shows:

Code: Select all

And I installed usbguard. Any hints to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

Gee, I wonder why.
I installed usbguard
You need to read the usbguard documentation, configure usbguard and create pertinent rules for all the USB devices you want to allow.

Thanks for the hint!
I tread and tried to configure usbguard, but I don't have success, so I removed it.
But many thanks for the attention!
Have a great day! :)
