Ubuntu thunar-like disk mounting from the command line

I always forget how to do this, so why not create a quick page to remind myself.
Logged in through the GUI it is easy to use thunar, but from the command line I use these steps:

# create the luks volume
sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 Verbatim1TB
# mount the disk like thunar
udisksctl mount -b /dev/mapper/Verbatim1TB

Voila!

Fedora - VNC through systemd/xinetd

Configuring Fedora 17 for Xvnc through systemd/xinetd I found a number of links around but nothing exactly covered my setup.  I wanted to be able to run an X11 session from home as securely and efficiently as possible.  After configuring my home server like this: sudo yum install xinetd tigervnc-server-minimal sudoedit /etc/gdm/custom.conf [security] RelaxPermissions=0 [xdmcp] Enable=1 HonorIndirect=1 [greeter] Quiver=1 sudo useradd -d /var/empty/vncuser -m -s /bin/false vncuser sudoedit /etc/services vnc-1280 5910/tcp # VNC Listener sudoedit /etc/xinetd.d/vnc # BEGIN service vnc-1280 { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = vncuser server = /usr/bin/Xvnc server_args = -inetd -query localhost -desktop 1024x768x24 -once -geometry 1024x768 -NeverShared securitytypes=none } # END sudo systemctl start xinetd.service And you will need to restart GDM.  I couldn't get the systemctl restart prefdm stuff quite right, so I reboote...
