Well what I said is true. When I first started using arch I didn't mind when stuff broke. But now after setting up the OS according to my tastes I want it to stay as it is. So I want it to be stable. But I also don't want to sacrifice the freedom if using arch. And I made this my primary work OS and it really is hurting productivity as I tend to work on a lot of removal drives.

After a recent update, I am unable to mount any drives by clicking their names in nautilus side panel like I used to do before. I use awesome wm and start it via slim which itself is started via the inittab method.

Are you able to reproduce the problem if you use GDM in stead of slim and start it using the rc-script rather than inittab?

I have dbus installed and it starts up automatically at boot. Also in my .xinitrc file I have ck-launch-session and dbus-launch before awesome.

This sounds like it should work, but I don't use your precise setup so cannot confirm it. I seem to remember other people having similar problems and replacing SLIM with something else fixed it (but I don't remember the details so I might be wrong).

Everything used to work fine like this before the update. Now when I try to mount a drive I get the error not authorized. I am also in the group storage.

ConsoleKit, UDisks and PolicyKit should be responsible for this working and you should not need to be in any particular group.

I really like arch Linux but these stuff breaking on updates is what pisses me off. Please help me as this is affecting my productivity on my machine.

I had this happen once quite some time ago now.What I found was that a library file went missing. Try this...ldd /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gdu-volume-monitorSee if it tells you that a file is missing and if so then just install the required package. Outside of that installing devmon from AUR could solve the problem. Clive-- Infinity: A concept for those who cannot comprehend the big picture. () Arch Linux - For movers and shakers. ()
