Have you tried to install autofs and gnome-disk-utility ?

It could be something with permissions, udev, polkit or dbus.

I use thunar and to get automount and trash etc to work I have to run dbus-launch thunar. This is probably not the best solution but it does work!

HI,

Sorry to necrobump, but I encountered the same problem using Sway. I used what's suggested in the Gentoo wiki (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sway) , copying `sway.desktop` to `sway-custom.desktop`, while changing the Exec line in the latter to `Exec=dbus-run-session sway`. Now, launching thunar in sway spawned from SDDM is working as intended.

OpenRC does not automatically run DBus, the same tricks may be needed for other DM/DE and init system mix.

All our default DE installations auto-start dbus; most DEs autodetect it and use it, while others - usually very lightweight or tiling WMs geared towards more advanced users - leave that choice (correctly) to them.
