Donald Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 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?

chris:b Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Donald, try this: [chris@localhost chris]$ su Password: [root@localhost chris]# gnome-cd-properties Nice, huh? I just found out. Thanks for your question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Posted June 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 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? Donald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 (edited) magicdev replaced supermount and is sys-wide not desktop environment/window manager dependent. What you're looking for is in kcontrol. I use gnome. Edited June 5, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 Name: magicdev Version:1.1.5-6mdk Größe: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 (edited) you can click on the extended tab>rt-click 'startup_notify>change the value to 'false' KDE also has a Service Manager. Edited June 5, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Posted June 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Thanks bvc, that's useful. Problem solved. I'd not used menudrake before. Many thanks, Donald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
