While configuring my Kinesis Adv 360 on Arch, I really missed one feature that most desktop environments have. It is the auto-mounting of USB storage devices.
On Arch and Hyprland, this does not happen out-of-the-box.
My environment
- Arch Linux (updated this morning)
- Hyprland 0.48.1
Packages

Configuration
Configure thunar-volman to auto-mount USB devices.

Make sure to check the following boxes:
Then we need to start thunar as daemon on startup. There are multiple ways to do it, but I chose to write it in my Hyprland config file.

Testing
Plug in a USB stick, and it should auto-mount. In my case I could see it right away in thunar’s sidebar.
If you don’t see it, try running thunar --daemon in a terminal, and then re-plug the USB stick.
Sometimes when Hyprland reloads config, it does not automatically run the exec-once command, causing the daemon to not start.
Restarting Hyprland should fix this.
