To this point, whenever I've plugged a storage device (flash drive, mp3 player) into a USB plug, it's magically mounted and I get an icon on my desktop.
I've just got a card reader and it doesn't automount. I can mount it manually with "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/temp" and that works fine.
I would prefer to have it automount and give me the desktop icon. Unfortunately, I don't yet know enough about the automounting mechanism to know what I need to change to make this happen.
Here is the relevant portion of /var/log/messages when I plug in the card reader:

Again, it works fine if I use a mount command to mount it myself. How can I get it to automount and give me the desktop icon?
