It can be disable as noted in this thread. The file and line that is changed after the GUI tweak is /.gconf/apps/nautilus/preferences/%gconf.xml:<entry name="media_autorun_never" mtime="1297104269" type="bool" value="true"/> However I'm told Via Juhaz in ##gnome the best way to generate that is with.. gconftool-2 -t bool -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_autorun_never and "for default, add something like --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults you can set it mandatory too if the users shouldn't be able to change it back. the exact path you should use may depend on distro, /etc/gconf/2/path probably has a commented list of the config sources" I'll have to look into it more tomorrow. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
