Hide desktop icons for certain mounted volumes

  • 772

I have fixed and removable disks/volumes and they all show an icon on the desktop. I only want the removable mounts shown.

There is a dconf setting to show/hide icons, but it shows/hides all of them. I want to be selective.

An example of a fixed mount from /etc/fstab:

/dev/disk/by-uuid/some-uuid /mnt/Stuff auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0

How should I change it?

gnome icons fstab mount 18.10

  1. Remove the x-gvfs-show mount option:

    /dev/disk/by-uuid/some-uuid /mnt/Stuff auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0

    so it becomes:

    /dev/disk/by-uuid/some-uuid /mnt/Stuff auto nosuid,nodev,nofail 0 0
