Linux Mint Petra won't Auto-Mount USB Devices

Question

I recently updated my OS to Mint Petra and am no longer able to plug-and-play my USB devices. Olivia would automatically mount my jump drives or external hard drives, and I don't see why Petra shouldn't. I've tried sudo fdisk -l and see that the system recognizes the device. I can mount them up with the mount command, but I would really rather not have to do that every time I plug in a device. I've also run update and upgrade, but that didn't seem to fix anything.

Thoughts?

Update

I updated my OS to Mint Quiana and still can't automount drives (Or CD's). I'd really appreciate some help.

Solution

I found the solution here. I used the Synaptic Package Manager to uninstall the udisks utility and install the udisks2 utility. I rebooted the computer, and my problem was solved! It seems like maybe my in-place upgrade between Linux Mint versions didn't upgrade the udisk utility; maybe the newer versions are not compatible with udisks.

Following the first option of the link helped me. Removing /etc/mtab.fuselock and then rebooting did the thing.
