usb's not auto mounting

Noticed this when the policykit-1 package was updated I was unable to shutdown or suspend from XFCE desktop without logging out and logging back in as root. I fixed it with the following workaround: Downgrade libpolkit-agent-1-0, libpolkit-backend-1-0, and libpolkit-gobject-1-0 from 0.105-15~deb8u3 to 0.105-9+devuan1.

- Launch Synaptic Package Manager.

gksudo synaptic-pkexec

- Find each of the 3 packages and press CTRL+E, or from the menu: Package -> Force Version.

- Select 0.105-9+devuan1.

Since then I've reinstalled policykit-1 which allows me to shutdown and suspend from XFCE menu. Also I used a gamepad which worked without any configuration, don't know if that could cause the problem.
Thanks for any help

(I just looked at the settings for desktop removable drives and media where
Mount removable drives when hot-plugged and
Mount removable media when inserted
were unchecked I checked them and restarted my system which didn't work)

The devuanized versions of 0.105-15 are in jessie-security.

apt-get -t jessie-security install policykit-1
