My experience with Fedora (currently still F29) has been that any
medium I put into a disk drive or USB slot gets mounted, and an icon of
it put onto the desktop -- until now. Suddenly (i.e., over the last
couple weeks), when I put a medium into the drawer and close that,
nothing visible happens. When I go flailing through sundry menus looking
for an app to mount that medium, it usually just claims blank medium or
none at all; but, once or twice, it tells me I have to be root.
My guess is that what I have loused up this time must be
somewhere in the configuration files. I've tried as many of those as I
could find, but especially Caja, since I run Mate. Clue, please!
