How to turn off "automatic display of contents" feature when a USB stick is attached

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 461 / 3 Years ago, fri, october 29, 2021, 7:37:32

I know it's something quite minimal but I don't really like it when every time I insert a USB stick, the contents of the drive are immediately displayed in a "splash-like" way. How do I turn this off or at least have it as an option?

You need to have dconf Editor installed (contained in dconf-tools package).

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Then change this setting:

org -> gnome -> desktop -> media-handling -> (uncheck) "automount-open"
