Description of problem: In gconf I have, clearly visible in a output of gconftool-2, for /desktop/gnome/volume_manager autoopen = false autobrowse = false autorun = false Despite of that, after recent updates, inserting a CD into a drive gets me a dialog "This media contains software intended to be automatically started. Would you like to run it?". Definitely not and under NO circumstances. The question is misplaced. If, with another CD, this dialog does not show up then an unwanted browser window automatically pops-out. Moreover options which allowed to change that EXTREMELY UNDESIRABLE behaviour, and where defaults should be really the other way around, vanished from "Removable Drives and Media" preference menus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-volume-manager-2.22.0-2.fc9 How reproducible: all the time
Automounting + Autorunning programs is now handled by Nautilus. There's both UI and gconf keys to customize / disable this.
> Automounting + Autorunning programs is now handled by Nautilus. There's > both UI and gconf keys to customize / disable this. I spent some time today looking for this mythical UI and so far I drew blank. There is definitely nothing under "Preferences->Hardware->Removable Drives and Media" where anything of a kind "drives" is not even mentioned. I tried other possibilities too and so far I am out of luck. Scanning through and ouput of 'gconftool-2 -R /' was also of not much help. I cannot exclude that on this long list indeed there is something but nothing which would for me be even remotely "obvious". Therefore I would highly appreciate some more specific information than "oh, there is something somewhere" from comment #1. If this is indeed the case, and I cannot find it after a prolonged search, then I see that as a serious BUG. Another bug is an obvious regression. I had a system configured to behave in a certain way, something got updated, and my configuration was not carried over; even if some other component took over those duties. That should not happen. Last but not least I was told on numerous occassions that if I am not sure what is responsible for a broken behaviour I should file a bug anyway and developers later will sort out correct components and assignees later. Closing bugs because I have a component wrong directly contradicts this information. I would rather not play "whack-a-mole" with that. Thank you!
Sorry, but this is Fedora; there is no expectation of settings being preserved from one version to another. The UI is in the Nautilus preference UI, it's at System->Preferences->Personal->File Management. Then it's the tab called "Media". The gconf settings are in apps->nautilus->preferences under media_*. Btw, there was no need to reopen this bug just because you feel that someone is obligated to answer questions that could be answered by you doing some simple research.
> Sorry, but this is Fedora; So you are saying that if one day we will see instead of a desktop an interface to your washing machine then this will be ok. Right? > System->Preferences->Personal->File Management Yeah, totally clear to everybody that removable media will be under "File Management". I wonder why not under "Look and Feel->Screensaver"? Also a good and "obvious" place. Still if you would tell that right away everybody would waste much less time. > There's both UI and gconf keys to customize / disable this. And for everybody should be crystal clear that an addition of 'x-content/software' to 'media_autorun_x_content_ignore' list is what is required to fix a broken default behaviour and that even when 'x-content/software' key is not showing up in any other context. Sorry but I am not imaginative enough for that.
