Disable auto-opening nautilus window after auto-mount

rated 0 times [ 80] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 64934 / 1 Year ago, fri, may 5, 2023, 4:16:41

Every time I plug a USB stick in, nautilus opens a new window with the contents of the drive. I would like to disable this auto-opening of the nautilus window, but I would like the actual auto-mount to keep working. Is this possible?

Turns out, it is. You will need dconf-editor tool, which can be installed by with sudo apt-get install dconf-tools. Run dconf-editor in your terminal. Browse to org -> gnome -> desktop - media-handling. Uncheck automount-open.
