#166591 — Annoying pop-up window

SubjectAnnoying pop-up window
Message-ID<rmqSm-7Z9-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
Whenever I plug in a USB drive, camera or Kindle I get a pop-up window advising me that "Removable medium is inserted, select action...

Given that I will open the medium from Pcmanfm, which is always open on one desktop, this is an annoyance/waste of time and clicks.

Is there a way to prevent the window from popping up ?
 
Cheers,
 
Ron.

Look at "Device Notifier settings" or whatever your chosen DE calls it.

Running XFCE, I find nothing about the pop-up window in either Notifications, or in Removable Drives and Media  ;-3(

I don't use XFCE, but a quick 'net search threw up the following:

http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/using-removable-media

Particularly the section "Managing Removable Drives and Media"

I'm on XFCE and don't see this popup behavior.  Under Settings, Session and
Startup, Advanced, are you starting any GNOME or KDE services? I'm not, so
possibly that's the reason.

Nothing, but then I renounced a long time ago both Gnome and Kde, their pomps, their works and their bloat...

I'm running XFCE as well. If the popup to alert me to media being 
inserted were to happen correctly, I'd be bragging about it. :) Ric

pcmanfm has settings for Volume Management (see 'Preferences' on the
'Edit' menu). One of the options for removable media is for it to ask
what to do when removable media is inserted, perhaps you have that
option set?

It might also help people to help you if you said which desktop
environment you are using. Other people who've replied seem to be
talking about XFCE but I don't see that you said that is what you are
using.
