It'd help to know what software you're running. In many wm's, wizards watch devices and pop up running what they decide is the most appropriate application. Depending on whether you'd like to list the contents of a media or play that media, it may or may not do what you want at the time. You can ignore/disable them and do it manually for more control (and possibly less confusion). > Anyway, all suggestions are appreciated. > > PS, I tried dmesg, and I don't understand what it's saying.
