Action at DVD insertion

Hi,
When I insert a dvd in the tray, the dvd is correctly mounted and gnome asks me (as expected) what action should be performed, but when I click the "cancel" button it asks me again. Is someone else experiencing this minor issue ? I am using gnome-volume-manager.

Re: Action at DVD insertion

How many instances of gnome-power-manager are running?

ps aux | grep gnome-power-manager

It sounds as if your have two processes spawned

Re: Action at DVD insertion

I just realize that I said gnome-power-manger tongue
Sorry about that!

From the output you have provided it doesn't seem as if you have a duplicate process running.

Have you tried using another account (user) and seeing if the same behavior happens?

Re: Action at DVD insertion

Thank you for the suggestion. I have just tried with a brand new user account, the same behaviour happens : the windows asking for the action to perform pops up twice.

Re: Action at DVD insertion

The same phenomenon happens when I insert a memory card in the card reader.

Re: Action at DVD insertion

I think this might be a dbus problem. I have something similar when I try to open a torrent from opera into my torrent client - it pops up a window asking to add the torrent, and another window appears saying the specific file is already in use by some other program, yet I can still add the torrent just fine from the first dialog screen...

Re: Action at DVD insertion

Finally I removed the gnome-volume-manager package,.... but the problem is still there !
In /var/log /messages I have :

Nov 18 21:28:16 bureau UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount
Nov 18 21:28:16 bureau UDF-fs INFO UDF: Mounting volume 'MYSTERY_TRAIN', timestamp 2005/04/05 11:51 (103c)
Nov 18 21:28:16 bureau hald: mounted /dev/sr1 on behalf of uid 1000

when I insert the DVD.
So it looks like hal is mounting the media and that gnome-volume-manager was probably useless.
But it doesn't explain why the windows pops up twice.

Re: Action at DVD insertion

Hey

Did you find a solution? I have the same problem and it's really annoying! I have configured a custom command (in Gnome File Management) to start xine whenever I insert a DVD, and it runs that command twice as well.
Would really like to get rid of this irritating little thing!

Unfortunately, I didn't find a solution so far, the problem is still present for me.

Re: Action at DVD insertion

Try the following: Go to the Nautilus File Browser, select Edit/Preferences, and click on the last Tab (Media). Unselect the option in the end, that reads: Browse media when inserted.

See if it helps.

Re: Action at DVD insertion

No, problem still happens when option is unselected.
But, interestingly, it doesn't occur with blank cd or dvd, whether the Browse media option is selected or not.
