Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
I don't know if this is really a udev bug, or what, but:
If I insert a Sony USB memory stick (I have a 16GB model), then it is
identified incorrectly as a media player: a window pops up with the
message "You have inserted a digital audio player ... " with the usual
question about whether I want to open it with Rhythmbox etc.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10, and I believe this did not happen previously
with 9.04. The version of the udev package currently from karmic-updates
is 147~-6.1.
Further info:
The USB memory stick shows up in the output of "lsusb" as:
Bus 002 Device 025: ID 054c:0243 Sony Corp. MicroVault Flash Drive
