Hello,

I'm using mandrake 10 on a laptop - emachines M5116. For playing DVDs, when I insert the DVD in the combo drive, Totem automatically starts and tries ot read the DVD. I prefer to use Xine directly. I know the answer is probably very simple but I can't find it - how do I stop Totem from automatically starting when a DVD is inserted inthe drive?

Donald,

try this:

CODE

[chris@localhost chris]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost chris]# gnome-cd-properties

Nice, huh?

I just found out. Thanks for your question!

Sorry folks - I should have said - I use KDE. Still no joy. Your idea won't work for me Anna (but glad I helped you find something new!). Is there a KDE equivalent of magicdev?

magicdev replaced supermount and is sys-wide not desktop environment/window manager dependent. What you're looking for is in kcontrol. I use gnome.

CODE

Name: magicdev
Version:1.1.5-6mdk
Gr��e: 120 KB

Zusammenfassung: A daemon for automatically mounting/playing CDs.

Beschreibung: Magicdev is a daemon that detects when a CD is removed or inserted. Magicdev handles running autorun programs on the CD, updating the File Manager, and playing audio CDs.

Dateien:
?/etc/gconf/schemas/magicdev.schemas
?/usr/bin/gnome-cd-properties
?/usr/bin/magicdev
?/usr/lib/menu/magicdev
?/usr/share/control-center-2.0/capplets/gnome-cd-properties.desktop

There is even a menu entry for it but I don't know where, I gave up on the Mandrake menu style altogether and use the original KDE menu.
I am using kde exclusively, can't find where to set this in kde control center, bvc.

you can click on the extended tab>rt-click 'startup_notify>change the value to 'false'
KDE also has a Service Manager.

Thanks bvc, that's useful. Problem solved. I'd not used menudrake before.

Many thanks,

Donald
