Totem starts after boot/reboot with DVD in drive, BUG?

Well, when Gnome has finished loading, it eventually finds the disc and
mounts it, isn't that great ?

Sounds perfectly normal to me :o)

Well, if you don't wnat to play a movie, just don't let the disc in the
drive ! It makes sense that if you put a disc in a drive, you want to
read it, and Gnome is very friendly, so it mounts it, lovely Gnome :o)
Imagine, if you put a live CD in your drive and rebooted, Ubuntu would
never boot on it, thinking "When Matt puts disc in the drive, he doesn't
actually want to read it, so I will just boot from the hard drive as
normal then..." ;o)

Honnestly, I can't see any good reason to leave a CD in the drive if you
don't intend to use it. Either you want to use a disc and put it in the
drive, and remove it when you have finished using it, or you let the
disc in its protective case. The drive is not meant to be used as a
case...

Sorry, just MHO, probably not what you wanted to hear ?! ;o)


Vince, left a DVD in the drive for hours once, was so hot when I took it
out the drive, that it was near the melting point and would not read
anymore until cooled down for hours -> never again :-/ either use it or
remove it...
