[K12OSN] SOLVED -- local usb key won't mount anymore

[Rob Owens]

Here I am, answering my own question...

So the scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession.d do not have to
be executable.  They are sourced by /etc/X11/Xsession.
 I'm not 
exactly sure why that means they don't have to be
executable, but apparently it does.

My problem turned out to be that
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/51lbus-start was owned by my user,
instead of by root.  I'm not 
sure how this happenned.  I did:  chown root.root
51lbus-start and then ran /etc/X11/Xsession and now my
local 
devices work again.  The question is, why did it work
before?  I didn't purposely change ownership of
41lbus-start to 
my owner, so how did it happen?

Rhetorical questions, I guess.  It works now.
