This used to work but now longer does: If I plug a USB stick into the PC, it no longer appears as new folder or drive symbol. I can mount it manually, though.
I checked the Nemo settings. Every under "Removable devices" is enabled. I also checked the settings for Gnome and Cinnamon in dconf-editor.
What packages are required for this to work and what configuration is involved? Any pointer?

How about Settings/Preferences/Desktop--is Mounted volumes on?
Everything in life was difficult before it became easy.
Re: USB flash drive not mounted in Nemo in LM17.3
Yes. dmesg also correctly reports the new USB drive as does lsusb. But nothing else happens. (Tested different drives).

Create a new user account and check there.

Hmmm.... Works for newly created user account.Cosmo. wrote:Create a new user account and check there.
All files in $HOME are properly owned by the user. That was your fix for a different issue last time
Re: USB flash drive not mounted in Nemo in LM17.3
So we know, that the problem lies inside your user account.
You can try this (no guarantee, but a likely verdict):
Move in your home with the file manager into the hidden folder .local/share (hit ctrl-H to make hidden files visible). Rename the subfolder gvfs-metadata. Log off and back into your account. Test.

Unfortunately no success.Directory stays empty except for a entry for home. Interesting to learn about this directory.
Re: USB flash drive not mounted in Nemo in LM17.3
Same method: Rename both folders .config and .local in your home. Log off - back in.
Re: USB flash drive not mounted in Nemo in LM17.3
Thanks. I was able to pin it down to ~/.config/dconf. I'm currently trying identify the cause by try&error of resetting value to their default via dconf-editor.
I suspect a failing cinnamon addon which breaks the loading of the automount module.
