I usually charge my phone through a USB connection. Due to Ubuntu 13.04 detecting and mounting it, Nautlius automatically opens the mounted folder. Can I stop Nautlius from automatically opening the folder of some mounted devices?

    On Xubuntu, I do xfconf-query -c thunar-volman -p /automount-drives-enabled -s false but I heavily suspect it won't work in "plain" Ubuntu, because this command recalls XFCE and Thunar.

  • It's automount-drives/enabled

Click on Applications->System Tools->dconf Editor

In the window which opens, Select org from the side bar, then gnome and then desktop and then media-handling Uncheck the automount-open from the right side bar.

  • Thank you. But can I also change it for one device only?

  • worth noting that you have to do this as the user you're logged in as, not neccessarily root

  • @MeinAccount – someone at least ‘solved’ this by id-speficic unmount scripts...

Install Ubuntu Tweak. Open it up. Go to Tweaks -> File Manager and you'll see the option there.
