 +==== Automount of USB Disks not working ====
 +this only happened on one pc where i moved from ubuntu to xubuntu and kept using gdm: when plugged-in a usb stick it did not mount and when i clicked it to mount it in the gui it showed an error saying i was "Not Authorized"
 +
 +Unfortunately i did too many things at once to explicitly tell you what fixed it in the end but here are the two things i did: 
 +  - installed ''usbmount''
 +  - edited ''/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy'' and changed all ''<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>'' to ''<allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>''
