    How do I disable spatial Nautilus?

    + +

    As of GNOME &gnomever;, Nautilus operates in what is known as + a "spatial" mode. This means that each item is opened in + a new window. This may not be desirable to all users. If + you wish to revert back to the old Nautilus file system + browser, launch Applications > System Tools > + Configuration Editor, and go to the + /apps/nautilus/preferences key. Check the + always_use_browser checkbox, then restart + GNOME.

    How do I disable desktop icons for "Computer," + "Home," and "Trash?"

    + +

    If you do not want your desktop cluttered with the + default icons for "Computer," "Home," and "Trash," you can + disable any or all of them. To + do this, launch Applications > System Tools > + Configuration Editor, and go to the + /apps/nautilus/desktop key. From here, you can + enable or disable the icons, and even rename "Home" and + "Trash."

    How do I mount my removable media in + Nautilus?

    + +

    In order for removable volumes (e.g. CD-ROMs, floppy + drives, etc.) to be visible in Nautilus, you must first + set the vfs.usermount sysctl to 1. To + do that, add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf + then reboot:

    + +
    +vfs.usermount=1
    +	    
    + +

    Next, each user mountpoint must be added to + /etc/fstab. For example, if user marcus + wants to be able to mount a CD under + /home/marcus/cdrom, the following must be in + /etc/fstab:

    + +
    +/dev/acd0   /home/marcus/cdrom	cd9660	ro,noauto 0 0
    +	    
    + +

    Each additional user would require a similar entry. + Note: the user must own the mountpoint. In the + example above, /home/marcus/cdrom must be owned + by the user marcus. Once all of that is setup, a + CD-ROM icon will appear under the Computer location in + Nautilus. Double-clicking on that icon will mount the CD, + and place an icon on the desktop.
