Hi,
We've recently moved from 4:14.0.4 on Debian jessie to 4:14.0.6 on Debian stretch and all of our users (remote displays via tdm/XDMCP) are getting device popups when a usb device is connected (daily change of SSD for backup for example).
How do I globally disable this?
I've tried putting a kdedrc in my global profile directory containing:
[Module-mediamanager][$i] autoload=false
[Module-medianotifier][$i] autoload=false
but that doesn't seem to do it.
Any ideas?

I'm on .4 atm, but on .5 there is a form with a bizillion little checkboxes for this. I believe I got to that by a 'config' button on the pop-up itself.
On .4 there is something similar found at:
Trinity Control Center >> Peripherals >> Storage Media
Hopefully on .6 there is a similar TCC screen?
Best, Michael

I'm guessing (haven't tried it) disable auto app start and enable auto mount. Setting do nothing toggle for select media types would be another possibility. see .pngs
Chaps,

Thanks for the replies but I'm trying to disable the device popups globally.
Relying on each user to go into their settings and click things just isn't going to happen in my world :-(
Looks like a trip into TDE Source land to see what I can find. Wish me luck!

<facepalm>
I is a idjit :-(
I already had:
[Media][$i] enabled=false exclude=media/builtin-webbrowser,media/hdd_mounted,media/builtin-mycomputer,media/builtin-mynetworkplaces,media/floppy5_unmounted,media/cdrom_mounted,media/cdrom_unmounted,media/floppy_unmounted,media/hdd_unmounted
in my global kdesktoprc.
In the melee I'd forgotten that we'd changed to encrypted media for the backups as part of the great update project; so appending "media/hdd_unmounted_encrypted" to the end of that line solved my problem.
</facepalm>

I think we're all bozos on this bus.
