How do I keep CD/USB automounting (works fine) BUT without auto-opening in Nautilus?

From inside Nautilus: Edit > Preferences > Media

Here you can change behavior for recognized media types (CD, Music Player, Photos, etc.) and unrecognized ("Browse media when inserted" option).

    That the UI way to change /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount_open, right? Aug 17, 2010 at 12:56
  • @RolandTaylor: I actually fixed the problem with dustyprogrammer's link. Both solutions do the same in the end. Jun 6, 2011 at 0:00

System->Preferences->Removable Drives (only in Ubuntu version 9.04 and below)

There should be setting there to chose what happens when removable media is inserted.

    "Removable Drives and Media" was removed from System > Preferences starting with 9.10.
