Ubuntu :: Disable The Automount For /windows?

May 12, 2010

I've recently installed ubuntu 10.04 on a machine with MS Vista. Initially, I decided to use a fat32 partition (mounted at /windows) for storage of files used by both Ubuntu and Vista. Then, I saw that Ubuntu can read/write on NTFS partitions, so I deleted my fat32 disk space.

Now, Ubuntu tries to mount that partition and during the boot of the Gnome environment, it says that /windows cannot be mounted. If I press S (skip), the desktop can be loaded normally but I would like to delete all references to that partition.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Disable The USB Automount

Jan 25, 2011

My goal is to prevent gnome from mounting and opening up a file browser when any device is plugged in (USB, CD/DVD) for a Desktop User account. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook RemixI modified several settings in Nautilus (Edit --> Preferences --> Media (tab). I Selected "Never prompt or start programs on media insertion" and unchecked "Browse media when inserted".I restarted the system, but when I plug in a USB mass storage device the file browser window still appears and the device is mounted.I dug down into gconf and found the following registry keys that I believe are of interest:

/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount (unchecked)
/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount_open (unchecked)
/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_autorun_never (checked)

Has anybody run into this problem and found a solution? Modifying the keys I mentioned above worked for everyone else that has asked the "disable automounting" question (that I've found). Some very old posts mentioned gnome-volume-manager, but it is not installed on my system.

EDIT:This seems to only happen when the Netbook Launcher is started. If Netbook Launcher is removed from the list of startup programs and the system is restarted, I can insert devices without getting a pop-up window and without the device being mounted.

Debian Installation :: Systemd - Automount Windows Partition / USB Devices In Jessie

May 11, 2015

There seems to be no documentation on how to automount partitions and USB devices under systemd in Jessie. (Overall, systemd entirely lacks any useful documentation or GUI configuration tools -- all very cryptic and hidden.)

I created custom files to enable automounting. I put them in /etc/systemd/system -- this may not be the right place, but it works.

Kernel note:
This does not work under the old Wheezy kernel linux-image-3.2.0-4.

To automount my Windows partition so I can access its files, I created:
/etc/systemd/system/media-windows.mount

The name of the file must match the mount point -- in this case, /media/windows

My file notes the device and file type, plus an fmask option so all the Windows files don't seem to be executable:

[Unit]
Description = windows mount to /media/windows
[Mount]
What=/dev/sda1
Where=/media/windows
Type=ntfs-3g
Options=fmask=111
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The file ownership must be root.root. Apparently it doesn't need to be executable.

After creating, enable with:

sudo systemctl enable media-windows.mount

and it will mount on the next boot.

I read elsewhere that the before running the enable command you should run a start command:

sudo systemctl start media-windows.mount

but that didn't work for me.

Ubuntu :: Disable Menu Bars In Windows And Force Global Appmenu?

May 26, 2011

I'm using Filezilla in Natty and it keeps bringing up its own menu bar in its own window.

Obviously I want all my applications to only use the top new Global Appmenu Bar. It currently makes Filezilla look ugly and take up additional unwanted screen space.

Libreoffice fixes are all I can find. Does anyone know how to stop an application from using its own menu bar, and force it to only use the Global App Menu?

Ubuntu Installation :: Don't Want Automount In 10.04?

May 24, 2010

I have a problem that I can not decide for 2 weeks. Here is what happened: On my laptop, installed just Windows XP. In the past, when I installed the second system, Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 (for dual-boot), Ubuntu asked the administrator password for access to just Windows XP partition. I mean, that just Windows XP partitions were visible, but for the entrance (mount) needed a root password.

Now, in Ubuntu 10.04, Windows XP partition mount automatically and Ubuntu does not require the root password. I do not like it very much.

Tell me please, what do the settings at the time of installation of Ubuntu for just Windows XP that the system would be asking root password for just Windows XP partitions? Is this possible? I think - yes. Because in the past the default 9.04 and 9.10 asked for a password.

PS: I must say, as I put Ubuntu and just Windows: 1. Be installed just Windows XP, giving it 20 GB space 100 GB hard drive. </span>The remaining 80 Gigabytes leave out the implications.

Ubuntu :: USB Automount Not Working?

Nov 13, 2010

today when I inserted my usbpen in the laptop, automount did not work. I tried another pen with same result. I checked with mountmanager and both pens were working and actually mounted them manually, but automount which worked perfectly yesterday now is dead.I found a workaround installing usbmount from standard repository and now automount works again but usbpens are mounted in /MEDIA/usbx instead with their names as before and I have to open a root terminal tu unmount.

Unfortunately I use a pen for backup with unison and changing the mount position I have to modify unison profile every time, which is pretty uncomfortable.The problem May arise from the fact thgat yesterday I tried to manually compile and install the canon driver for my printer and trying to solve dependencies I had to compile and install Glib-2.26 pango-1.28.3 and gtk+2.22 from their sources.I did not manage to get a working canon driver but i may have made a mess with usb automount function.program/service is responsible for usb automount in ubuntu 10.10 so that i can reinstall or reconfigure it.
