Problem mounting partitions from Thunar in Artix openRC xfce4
by fredmyra from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FY86)
I am most interested in multibooting and have been experimenting with Artix (among other distros) .
I have used Artix Mate Live and have installed it in 2 machines. I find it very comfortable to use, but I am not as "fluent" at it as I am with other, for me "already established for my own use" distros like Mint, Sabayon, Manjaro and, to lesser extent, Fedora.
I have just made 2 installations of Artix on my Fuji Esprimo desktop, couple years Core2 duo, 8 GB RAM. Mate/openRC works problemfree so far - I have not used it on a daily base yet.
My open-RC base-install is still getting in shape. I have installed XFCE4 and quite a few of my most used applications.
My problem is Thunar is not showing my other partitions beside Filesystem.
I have searched very exhaustively, but most of the stuff I found seem too old to risk without counsel, or systemd related in the case of the more recent ones, and there seems that no 2 sources ever confirm each other.
Searches on "thunar mount partition(s)" in forums or search machines haven't helped me. I have seen references to things like poolkit, in particular, and authentication questions in general - among others - but I am not sure it is a good idea going one of those ways without reliable guidance.
I don' t want the partitions auto mounted via fstab. I have read they can be placed in fstab with noauto option, but it was not a recent post, and it was associated to a skeptical comment. I don' t feel comfortable with this as I have never needed to do that.
I suspect this may well be a simpler issue than what it appears to be. The Mate openRC install is loading the partitions the way I am used to, by clicking on them on the file manager.
I would appreciate some guidance on how to mount my partitions without having to use command line which, by the way functions as usual.
