How do I banish the "You have just inserted an Audio CD." dialog forever?
Sometimes when I insert an audio CD I get a dialog that says "You have just inserted an Audio CD. Choose what application to launch." It doesn't show up for every CD... probably something like once for every 5 CD insertions.
Every single time I select "Do Nothing" and ensure that the "Always perform this action" checkbox is checked. I assume the point of the checkbox is to let me make the decision once and for all, but this dialog continues to reappear periodically.
Solution 1:
Prompting for action to perform upon inserting media is a behaviour of nautilus (the file browser program in GNOME Environment). To change this behaviour I would recommend the following steps:
- Close all open
File Browser
windows - Open
Places -> Home Folder
. This will open the home folder in a newFile Browser
window. - Click
Edit -> Preferences
- Select the
Media
tab - For those media types where you don't want any prompt, select
Do Nothing
in the drop-down list. - Click
Close
From next time, you should not get the messages while inserting media.
Solution 2:
In 12.04 this functionality is no longer in Nautilus and has been moved to the System Settings application.
Unity Dash -> System Settings -> System -> Details -> Removable Media
There is a checkbox there that says "Never prompt or start programs on media insertion"
I haven't tested if it actually works though ;-)
