Same on my trinity computer. Is it somehow possible to active the
automount manually?
BTW there is a quite simple way of mounting an USB stick or other medium
if you its device but don't know its filesystem:
$ udisks --mount /dev/sdb1

That happened to me when I did a configure desktop by right-clicking
on the desktop.
When I got to the desktop configuration through the main menu, system,
configuration manager, I was able to toggle "desktop device icons" off
and then back on again, and that made automount work again.

All the years I have had/used kde 3.5..., I never knew this. So simple.
This is a perfect example of the beauty of keeping kde 3.5. going.

I still have not understood how he did it!
Ditto. I have tried and failed to find it. (I too am having trouble
with desktop icons.)

I will attach a screen-grab
Kmenu, Settings, Control Center (sorry, was writing from memory
earlier, I'm at the machine now).
In Control Center, Desktop, Behavior, Device Icons.
I unchecked "Show Device Icons", saved, then toggled it back on again.

hm I am not sure what you mean by configuration manager.
When I click on the outmost left icon, then select system,there is no
configuration manager.
When I go to system settings (my favorite setting tool, I cannot find it
neither)

Thanks, Curt. Still no go!
I work 99% of the time without icons, so it's no big deal.
Automounting, and making automounting visible, is all I use the icons
for anyway.

oddly, i have the reverse issue -- i tried what was described here over the
last couple of days, and it worked, and now i can't make it stop working:
if i go back and uncheck it, it rechecks itself!
so the inverse question: how do i *keep* this from happening?

here is how I did it:
click the following items
control center
desktop
behavior
under general tab, click on "show icons on desktop". I usually have this
disabled myself, because I dislike icons on the desktop. However, for the
case of removable media like usb drives, it makes sense to enable them
device icons
enable the "show device icons" if it is currently disabled
enable "mounted removable medium" if it is currently disabled.
I imagine you can toggle anything from this point up, and then hit "apply",
then toggle back and hit "apply" and it should work.
I also disabled essentially everything except the "mounted removable medium"

Htanks, I understand now, but this is to display a medium, which is
already *mounted*.
I did what you suggested, indeed the icon for the mounted usb flash
disappears. However the command
mount
still shows me that the device is mounted!
My problem is that under trinity is device is *not* mounted
automatically
The command
Mount
Does not return that it is mounted.
However when I log out log in in KDE 4 and replug the USB in, it will be
mounted automatically.
So it seems to me that some daemon is not starting.
Just in case could somebody provide me what this automount really does.
Because if I mount it manually (VFAT format)
By
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/USB
It is mounted as root and is not writable by the common (non root) user.

You can specify options in /etc/fstab; if you give the option `user'
for a file system, also ordinary users are allowed to mount that
file system. Only the user who mounted it (and root, of course) can
umount the FS.
If you give the option `users', any user can mount the FS, and any
user can umount it.
There's also the `owner' option, which restricts the rights to mount
a file system to the user who is the owner of the underlying device
file. Unless a daemon does its proper work (which seems to not be
the case here), you had to involve some other means to set the owner
as desired... one example is udev (nice introduction can be found at
http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html), but this is indeed
a bit lower level than a desktop environment.
Good luck,
Jagged

Thanks. But I have to repeat: the automount daemon always worked on
Trinity, since I started to use it.
This time (for Kubuntu 13.05) it works for KDE4 (so the USB
drive and the PC are not the problem), but *not* for trinity.
So it must be a trinity bug, but I have no idea how to debug it.
I hoped and still do that the maintainer(s) could provide me with some
advice how to locate this error.

might be caused by kubuntu 13.04 no longer supporting HAL, which is what
trinity 3.5.x still uses.
R14 will be working without HAL, so you probably will have to wait for that.
