I don't have a log of it unless I manually copy it down. Anyone else seen this?

I don’t have a log of it unless I manually copy it down.

Anyone else seen this?

Eventually the fixes will be accepted upstream and distros will use recent kernels with newer inotify version. Thanks for your efforts. Now please, we need a similar effort to tackle the problems created by new dbus and hal , I am aware of project gentopia but it is currently lacking a lot of instructions. the bug is also here : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171201

I finally figured it out on why it might/might not work. The --retain-privileges was suggested to me by David Z (Freedesktop/hal) and once I did that it worked. I believe that there's 2 things which I missed or overlooked. fstab-sync and pmount. Pmount, right now works and automatically mounts my USB. Since I deleted all references of /dev/sda[12345] in my fstab that may be the issue why it doesn't automount. I'm not entirely sure since I stopped playing with it now.

fstab-sync and pmount.

Pmount, right now works and automatically mounts my USB.

I’m not entirely sure since I stopped playing with it now.

Gamin seems to work with the patched kernel (hey!), but now only File System is shown under Computer.
