Just for the record: Those dependencies are not missing in the case of Openbox. Openbox is very much nothing but a window manager. It is not a desktop environment. So there is no need for it to depend on anything required to handle removable media as a non-privileged user.
If they are missing very much depends on view point but i agree. I'd be quite annoyed to put it lightly if IceWM (or any window manager for that matter) started pulling in dependencies like polkit or even yike gnome stuff.
Excellent point!

]]>When I installed Devuan Ascii, I didn't select to install any of the desktops as I wanted to install Openbox afterwards using his link:
https://devuan.org/os/documentation/dev … nbox-guide
I've just done a fresh install, this time selecting the desktop, and it works! Clearly the desktop option installs some dependencies that are missing from the Openbox installation.
I'd like to thank all of you for taking the time to help me!
Cheers,

Maybe create it.
#groupadd wheel
#gpasswd -a (user) wheel
I think this is correct commands, working on my terminal.
# denotes being root user.

pkexec was not working properly from the menu . There is a fix coming up in the RC2. In the meantime gksu works just fine.

]]>just an example = udevil mount /dev/sdx /media (or /mnt)
find your drives with cmd in terminal lsblk --fs
then udevil mount /dev/sdx x denotes drive letter.
Give it a try and post back your outcome.

gvfs is already at the newest version, as is udevil
I've tried thunar and configured it to automount - no joy
I didn't install a desktop at all: I didn't use the graphical install, and I deselected the desktop options on tasksel. But I kept the system tools. I installed openbox from the command line after the install had finished. I also installed lightdm so that I go straight into openbox. I suppose that all this might have something to do with it.
]]>Nice minimal way to access your drives would be to install the spacefm file mananger and udevil.
https://ignorantguru.github.io/spacefm/
https://ignorantguru.github.io/udevil/
Otherwise thunar file manager and gvfs.
