Ubuntu opens an unwanted application when you insert a camera card

Review removable-media actions to choose whether an app opens, a folder appears or nothing starts automatically.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Review removable-media actions to choose whether an app opens, a folder appears or nothing starts automatically.

Understand the issue

Different media types can have different actions. Change only the relevant type if you still want other devices to open normally. Test with trusted media and avoid running programs offered by an unknown removable drive.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Open the removable-media or default-app settings for your desktop version.
  2. Inspect the action assigned to the device type.
  3. Choose the intended behavior and reconnect trusted test media.

Frequently asked questions

Does disabling automatic opening stop me browsing the card manually?

No. You can still open the device through Files when it is available.

Record the full model, exact error or symptom, recent changes and what you already tried. Explain whether important files have a separate backup.
