I want gnome to do NOT mount my camera

Cosmin · 2009-02-01 13:17:25

I use F-spot and I connect my digital camera to import with f-spot, but gnome automatic mounts my camera and I have to unmount it first every time. Any ideeas?

Yes try looking in the configuration editor.

go to apps> nautilus > preferences and uncheck media_automount

Wont that stop all media from auto mounting, even cd's and dvd's? I think there is something in volume manager that would be better.

unfortunately, yes. but i believe the media will still show up in the nautilus sidepane and can be mounted with a simple right-click> mount

thanks, so all (including usb flash, usb hard disks) or nothing ... nothing just for digital cameras

As I understand Arch, its all about choices. You have one here, and the choice is yours. You can disable them all or look in the section I mentioned in post 4. Either way will work.

In Arch, all is about choices... but unfortunately the same does not apply for Gnome.
Surely enough there should be way to do this just for cameras and not all removable devices by touching gconf-editor, but since I don't use Gnome I don't have any good advice to share...

Isn't there a section of the GNOME automount preferences that allows you to disable mounting of certain types of media? I'm not at my linux box right now, but I remember something about cameras being shown on that window.

by volume manager you mean Rmovable drives and media preferences? becouse there I do not find any usefull options. Maby I need to install something.

Might be able to make a hal rule... look at the HAL page in the wiki

sorry to bring this thread up again, but i have a similar problem, i have a digital camera/webcam (a mustek gsmart mini 2) which works fine with cheese and the gspca driver, but when i'm on gnome i plug my camera and gnome automatically tries to mount it, and after that cheese can't detect it

this is what dmesg tells me:

usb 2-4: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
usb 2-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Linux video capture interface: v2.00
gspca: main v2.3.0 registered
gspca: probing 055f:c420
gspca: probe ok
gspca: probing 055f:c420
usbcore: registered new interface driver sunplus
sunplus: registered
gspca: disconnect complete

any ideas?
