Unfortunately setting blacklist to "['-']" in com.canonical.Unity.Devices does not work for USB drives, pendrives, partitions, etc. They are not removed from launchbar. I used dconf editor to watch the blacklist: it forgets gathered uuids right after disconnecting external device, so they appear again and again.
I found following workaround: there is com.canonical.Unity.Launcher.favorites parameter, the same Matpen tried to remove value 'unity://devices' from. It is enough to move 'unity://devices' to the end. The auto-USB-device icons - 3,5,10, whatever number is - still appear but at end of launchbar, so they do not disturb other icons. It is possible icons of new applications, not pinned to launchbar, can still be added after USB icons, so ensure 'unity://running-apps' and any other value occurs before 'unity://devices'. Unity remembers order of the values, after system reboot too. If developers find a time to deal with this problem: IMHO the best solution is ONE icon, one icon to rule them all... Depending on user choice it may be pinned to launchbar or appear automatically after mounting first resource at /media/<user>. Hovering cursor or clicking it should expand list of all mounted devices to the right to allow to browse selected one (if more than one). A number of connected media on the icon would be a nice addition. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1103593 Title: Unity always shows all devices in launcher when CD is inserted Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu 12.10 the default behavior when inserting a CD (or a USB memory stick, etc.) is to add a list of mounted devices to the launcher. This takes up a lot of extra space for me as I usually have several Samba mounts. Furthermore, I don't need or want to see my CD in the launcher. I can click right on the mounted devices and select "Unlock from launcher", but the next time I insert a CD they're back. Disabling this "feature" should be an option in 12.10. I believe it was an option in 12.04 via CCSM. Thanks.
