Just got Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 installed. I like the following behaviour to be applied to my hard drive partitions and mass storage devices – pen drives, USB disks:
- Automount all partitions of internal hard disk – without using fstab:
In /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi
<merge key="storage.automount_enabled_hint" type="bool">false</merge>
false -> true
- No hard drive icons displayed on desktop:
In gconf-editor – Alt+F2 to launch it, go to:
apps -> nautilus -> desktop
uncheck volumes_visible
