USB stick gets mounted as "USB Flash Disk Music Player"

[David Planella]

Using an up-to-date Feisty installation, after inserting my usb memory stick, it gets mounted with an iPod icon and Rhythmbox is automatically started, showing the disk as "USB Flash Disk Music Player".

The usb stick does not even happen to have any music files on it, only text documents, and it mounts fine (as a generic data usb storage device) in Edgy.

Please find attached the output of 'tail -f /var/log/kernel.log' on insertion of the usb stick.

Thanks for your bug report. Could you please also add the output of 'lsusb' when the memory stick is inserted?

[David Planella (dpm)]

Here's the requested output:

$ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 090c:1000 Feiya Technology Corp. Memory Bar
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

And a screenshot of the iPod icon which appears on insering the memory stick.

Added requested info

The hal-info git tree has this device listed as a portable audio player. See here: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal-info.git;a=blob_plain;f=fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

As a workaround you could edit /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi and remove the whole section dealing with the "<!-- Feiya Technology Corp Memory Bar -->" device from "match key" to "/match". This would prevent it from showing up with the iPod icon and prevent rhythmbox from launching.

Just want to add that my Corsair Flash Voyager 1G memory stick has the same USB ID 090c:1000, and therefore also pops up as a mp3 player, instead of opening in a Nautilus window.

Also LG 1G memory stick has same USB ID, giving same problem

Latest backported hal has this problem on my Feiya Technology Corp Memory Bar. This was ok in the previous version of hal.

I have also this problem with myFlash USB stick.

My Feiya stick (branded LG) also does this. Just wondering if there is going to be a patch to Feisty for this? (I know I can edit this manually, but it would be nice to see this fixed for everybody!) :)
