I'm setting the status to Triaged since it now just needs to be fixed.
The issue is very simple, either removing a patch or adding a small one.
Should this be reported upstream as well, or was disabling it a delta?
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: nautilus
+ Historically nautilus-autorun-software.desktop was disabled because it
+ couldn't distinguish between autorun applications for Windows or Linux.
+ Since most autorun CDs are for Windows they won't work on Ubuntu, thus
+ too many false positives would be generated.
- I have an USB stick with an autorun.sh on it. When I insert the stick
- this autorun.sh starts a script which syncs the stick with the local
- system. This worked until I upgraded to karmic. When I insert the stick
- now I get a prompt that I inserted a medium with software on it (as
- before) but I can't choose to run the script. Instead "No applications
- found" is displayed and greyed out. See attached screenshot.

+ However, nowadays shared-mime-info knows the difference between win32
+ and Linux, making the work-around redundant. Therefore the line
+ "Hidden=true" can be removed from /usr/share/applications/nautilus-
+ autorun-software.desktop, so autorun that does work on Linux works
+ again.
