Calibre Access problem to MTP Devices

Problem

I had the problem that my ereader being automatically mounted by gnome, prevented me to manage it with Calibre

Solution

Taken from How to disable media automount in GNOME Disable GNOME’s automatic mounting of removable media using gsettings:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open false
systemctl restart gdm.service

What These Commands Do

• automount false - Prevents GNOME from automatically mounting removable devices.
• automount-open false - Prevents GNOME from automatically opening the file manager when devices are connected.

Manual Mounting

This still shows the device in the file manager, you just have to click on it… So I don’t really loose anything functionally speaking.
