Disabling Nautilus automount for external hd on Mint 6
Hello friends,
I have been using Linux Mint 6 for a few months now, but this is my first post to the forums. Loving Linux so far, by the way. Anyway, my n00b question. Awhile back, when I plugged in an external USB hard drive with Mint running, it would throw up a dialog box asking for my password for authorization to mount the drive. I recall checking a box saying something like "always automount"... When I plug in my external hard drive, I want Nautilus to display the drive in the left-hand "Places" column, but NOT automatically mount the drive. How would I go about setting that up? Thank you so much! |
using gnome, you want
Code:
$ gnome-volume-preferences |

Not at all, thats my fault sorry-
Code:
$ gnome-volume-properties |
The gnome-volume-properties gave me options for cameras and peripherals, but not anything that worked with automounting removable storage. Anyway, I got it sort of working the way I want, by going to Control Center>Authorizations and forcing Admin Authentication under Active Console for org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable
Thanks for all your help though! |
Ah no worries- though it should be the first tab in that programme. Good luck in the rest of linux, hopefully the rest is as intuitive for you ;)
