Automounting data DVDs and CDs causes multiple Konquerors to open.
Anyone care to take a guess at what I've managed to break on my system here. Loading a data DVD into the drive results in an unlimited number of Konqueror file managers to open up. How do I: a). Get the automounter system to work sensibly or b). Turn off the automount so that I can mount it manually and then point just the one file browser at it. Thanks in advance. -- Colin@SpudULike.me.uk As seasons go I especially like pepper.

You might want to see if you have SuSEPlugger configured to invoke "autorun.sh" files when present. Right click on the "SUSE Hardware Tool" icon in the system tray (it looks like a green PCI board ... vaguely) and select "Configure." The autorun.sh option is near the bottom. It's just a wild guess, but that could be part of the phenomenon you're seeing.

Indeed it is set as you guessed. Which 'autorun.sh' file does this option refer to, a file on the DVD or on my local system? -- Colin@SpudULike.me.uk A man for all seasons, especially pepper.

I'm really only guessing, but it's the only hypothesis that makes sense: If there's a file by that name ("autorun.sh") on the newly mounted removable media, it is executed when this option is enabled. Needless to say, enabling this is an act of some trust in the creator of the removable media you're mounting... I never leave that option enabled. This is a direct analogy to a similar feature in Windows (where a ".BAT" file is used, of course). It's very commonly used to launch installers or media players, depending on the type of CD or DVD in question.
