[kwlug-disc] Problem with Linux Mint 20 Automounting Drives

[John Driezen]

I am having a problem with Linux Mint 20. It is booting fine, and works 
fine but will not automount usb thumb drives.  The desktop shows 4 
drives: efi, root filesystem, and my two hard drives by uuid name as 
shown in the first picture.

When I first installed Linux Mint 20, the desktop booted and showed just 
the two hard drives, a 1 TB volume and a 2 TB volume shown in the second 
picture.  Automounting thumb drives and audio cds worked just fine.  
Occasionally I can boot to this state. I would like to always boot to 
this state.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on?  I'm at a loss to explain or 
resolve this issue.  The issue has persisted across multiple kernel 
updates.  I have subsequently upgraded to Linux Mint 20.1 as well.  More 
detailed system information can be given.  This issue is a minor 
annoyance, but nothing game breaking.
