USB Drives and phones aren't mounted automatically

at flag

Recently, my USB drives and phone stopped mounting automatically. I've tried using dconf-editor, but it is already set to automount.

Both are detected by lsusb, as seen in the output:

Bus 001 Device 010: ID 12d1:107e Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. P10 smartphone
Bus 003 Device 009: ID ffff:5678 USB Disk 2.0

I can mount the USB drive using the Gnome Disks application, but I cannot mount the files to be seen by the Android device. (Note that I already selected to have the Android device share files). The output of sudo dmesg is as follows for the phone:

The only way I can access my phone files is via an application called android-file-transfer, and it can see those files, so I'm not sure where the disconnect is between nautilus and it.

This may or may not be realted, but I can't access the files in my Trash anymore, saying Sorry, could not display the contents of "trash:///": Operation not permitted.

If you can not access trash you have a problem you need to fix before worrying about mounting USB. They maybe should be the focus of the question and a change to the title.

I exactly have the same issue, no trash nor usb recognized. It has been a few month with Ubuntu 23.04 and I'm not sure if it's the upgrade or my fault. What's your ubuntu version?
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
