I have install Artix Cinnamon runit version and install DWM on it by compiling from source code. I found out that when I am using DWM, Thunar not showing any unmounted drives but then I am using cinnamon it showing all drives properly. So Please help me to solve this problem.

Thank you very much! Instead of

Code: [Select]

exec dwm

I use

Code: [Select]

dbus-run-session dwm

in my ~/.xinitrc and it got solved. Please suggest if you have any better way of doing it.

the wiki says to use

Code: [Select]

dbus-launch some_wm

I use that and it works for me, here I would say > as long as it works...
