I have a new install of ubuntu 24.04 server. It fails to mount my usb drive when it is plugged in. I have tried a couple different ones but one is formatted on macos as fat32. /dev/sdb1 is created but it isn't mounted in /media/.

I can mount it manually using:

$:> sudo udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb1
Mounted /dev/sdb1 at /media/root/5F6B-535A

Obviously I could just put this one in fstabs but what I want is more like what I understood was the "standard" behavior for ubuntu. Maybe this is only behavior of the desktop flavor but I use sticks all the time from cameras and drones. I have usb drives for certain projects and swap them in and out all the time. I'd like to have anything plugged in to be mounted immediately, not after editting fstabs.

How do I get usb drives to mount automatically when inserted? This is the behavior I'm used to with ubuntu, is this (NOT mounting drives) something peculiar to the server version?
