[gentoo-user] Gnome complaining about automount of audio CD

[Mark Knecht]

I wonder if someone here knows where I turn off Gnome trying to
automount audio CDs and complaining that that it can't be mounted.

This is a recent development with updates in the last month or two. I
don't play a lot of audio CDs on my Gentoo machine but periodically
copy a CD. It used to be that I would start k3b, insert a CD and k3b
would go look up it's name. This still works, but recent versions of
Gnome seem to be trying to automount the audio CD which is something
makes no sense to me, and it fails. I'd like to fix that if possible
as I don't think I ever want Gnome to automount and play audio CDs.

I suspect this may be a hal-ish thing but that's totally a guess on my
part and backed up by nothing.

Thanks,
Mark

There is a use flag in gnome-base/gvfs called cdda which when you have
 it in there, asks you what you want to do with your audio cd, if
 that is not there I was getting a message about not being able to
 mount the cd.

Hope that helps.

Thanks John. I enabled the flag. First time through it asked what to
do. Asked it to do nothing form now on and it seems to be respecting
that choice.

Cheers,
