Please Help "error autorunning software cannot find autorun program"
hello everyone,
i'm using ubuntu 11.10 oneiric ocelot in my acer 4741 laptop. everytime i insert any removable media like flash disk or memory cards i keep on getting "error autorunning software cannot find autorun program"
it seems that the autorun is not present
and when i insert any CD or DVD, it won't autoplay. i already did the settings in system settings->removable media but i doesn't help.
thanks
Ubuntu 11.10 is outdated. Please install/upgrade to 12.04 or 12.10 beta (it will be released in a few day, it should be quite final by now). I don't advice an upgrade for your issue as your current settings are most likely the cause of the problem. Can you also try to create a new user account and see if the problem is there too?
Auto run is a feature used in windows Operation systems. You sometime seen this CD/DVD working as described.
Case your CD contains some songs can open the default program in auto run programs will not open normally.
that is most likely the Microsoft "autorun.ini/bat "
even Microsoft has DISABLED that very bad idea of theirs .
however your desktop manager should ASK you what to do with this newly mounted usb flash drive or card
or ask what to do with a dvd or cd
mind you a music cd will behave very differently than a data cd
now if "wine" is installed
WINE might be trying to run the Microsoft autorun
Thanks for the reply guys
But my dekstop manager never ask me what to do for any newly mounted CD or DVD. When i click on the DVD-rom icon. I get the messagge says can't mount
