Can't mount devices using gvfs

Hi, I can't mount usb using gvfs, I'm using Pcmanfm and Thunar and it 
doesn't work with any of them. I tried adding gvfs in my xinitrc and typing 
gvfsd on the terminal. I also tried these steps: ( 
https://github.com/voidlinux/documentation/wiki/Mounting-filesystem-as-a-user 
). 
Any ideas?

Try adding your user to the "disk" group? There may be another group with gvfs. But try this first:

Void uses runit as the init process. You will want to star any daemons or services by creating a symbolic link for the daemon:

ln -s /etc/sv/gvfsd /var/service/

Of course sv may not have an entry for it and you will need to look at a prexisting sv service for the basic up/down scripts.

If it's already there, try:

sv u gvfs
Or
sv --start gvfsd

or similar.

Also make sure FUSE is installed,gvfs may be trying to use this. 

Personally I am using udev, and nemo is mounting things just fine in cinnamon ( nemo being a fork of thunar I think ).

As soon as I installed gnome I started getting network key related errors at login ....

I haven't fully moved into Void yet so I'll look at gnome and see if I'm having a similar issue.

There's no need to start gvfsd manually, it will be started automagically 
via dbus.

Most likely their issue is that he did not enable the dbus service.

Also note that unless polkit has rules to allow authorization for the user 
running the desktop it won't even work.
Use ConsoleKit2 or create the polkit rules manually.
