How do you set the autoplay option in Kubuntu 8.10 (4.2)? I would like to make VLC launch and play a dvd.

In Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04) these settings can be found in the Nautilus file browser under Edit->Preferences->Media.

Well … the menu doesn’t exist in Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04) anymore – anyway, anyone can use menus – give us some background information! Which gconf-entries or files do we need to edit/creat/delete to make the system work to our specifications!?!
I found this and am going to try it now … : http://www.linuxquestions.org/.....ne-638155/
It suggests changing the following entry (e.g. via gconf-editor) :
/desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoplay_dvd_command
But – with just logging out and in again in my Gnome – this didn’t do the trick for me :-/
Happy hunting everyone!

Great. Ubuntu is really going “The Windows Way” … I’ve been looking all over for information on this Q .. mostly my search results include installation guides and other (in this case) useless stuff – this is the first page that addresses what I’m on about … but the shown dialog doesn’t exist anymore in hardy heron …
What I mean by “The Windows Way” is – we get help how to use menus?!? What’s that all about – they’re there because people are often afraid of the console .. I’m not .. I’d actually prefer the info on where to edit which file to get the job done … I can find menus myself

/me does “man woman”
