How do I autostart an application in Gnome when a volume is mounted?
According to [Gnome's Desktop Application Autostart Specification][1], I should be able to have a program execute simply by naming it any of ".autorun", "autorun", or "autorun.sh". None of these seem to work: I get a prompt from nautilus-autorun-software asking if I want to let it run, I say "Run",...
According to Gnome's Desktop Application Autostart Specification , I should be able to have a program execute simply by naming it any of ".autorun", "autorun", or "autorun.sh". None of these seem to work: I get a prompt from nautilus-autorun-software asking if I want to let it run, I say "Run", and it results in a dialog that says "Error autorunning software: Cannot find the autorun program". Is it a bug or am I not doing something correctly? The autorun file contains the following: #! /bin/sh gnome-terminal -x sh -c '~/bin/podcatcher/copypodcasts.sh; echo Done!; read pause' It works if I manually run the autorun file. The filesystem is fat, here's the mtab entry: /dev/sdd1 /media/disk vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush 0 0

How do I stop Gthumb from opening when I plug in my camera?
I'm using Linux Mint 13. Whenever I plug my camera into the USB port, Gthumb opens *and* a directory window opens. I can't find config files, autoplay options or an option in the preferences of Gthumb to change this. How can I stop Gthumb opening when I plug in my camera? O_O

Does anyone have an idea why when I insert a CD/DVD/flash nautilus opens as a default file manager under KDE instead of dolphin krusader? In my system settings krusader is set as the default manager, but still nautilus somehow keeps showing up, and I'm wondering how to change that? I keep nautilus because it's a dropbox dependency... Ok, I know there are workarounds so one could use dropbox without nautilus but I didn't bother trying that out... I don't mind keeping nautilus but I just want it to be quiet :D I have KDE 4.5.1 installed on an up-to-date Arch if that helps.
