Recognizing Connected Media

["Paulo J. Matos" <pocm soton ac uk>]

Hello all,

Gnome 2.20.3 here. I had hotplugging working up until last January or
something but as it happens for some reason it stopped working.
I can't however, figure out why. I connect my external drivers, flash,
camera, etc and nothing happens. Nothing gets mounted.

I have set up the preferences in gnome to mount when something is
connected but this is not happening. I've been asking around but
nobody seems to be able to help. Here's another try.
I don't want an explanation to why this might happen. I would be happy
with a procedure to check where the problem is and then to debug it.
Like, is the problem from hal, dbus, nautilus (or whoever is involved
in this process)? How can I check this? How can I debug them
afterwards?

Cheers,
