When I insert a USB mass storage device or SD card, Lubuntu 18.10 (using LXQt) would show really odd behavior.

1. For USB mass storage devices but not for SD cards, a popup by the PCManFM-Qt file manager would appear, asking what to do.




2. For all devices, additionally a small black popover window in the bottom right would appear, showing the filesystem label and a mount icon.



3. 
   

   When clicking in the small black popover, really strange stuff happened:

   
   
   
   
   

   • the music player Audacious would start, scan the medium and create a playlist; this behavior started after I used the Gnome file manager Nautilus once under the Lubuntu desktop environment

   
   

   • after getting rid of Audacious, the disk usage analyzer Baobab would be started for every newly inserted medium

   
   

   • after getting rid of Baobab, the Gnome file manager Nautilus would be started for every newly inserted medium even though this is the LXQt desktop environment

   
   
   
   

How can I configure what is executed for a newly inserted medium? I would like the pcmanfm-qt file manager of LXQt to start for every newly inserted medium. And I'd like to understand what causes this odd behavior and how to configure things in a systematic way.

The fact that you have Nautilus installed indicates that you probably installed Ubuntu and then lubuntu-desktop. That's fine, but also the reason why people who installed from a Lubuntu medium are probably unaffected.

Here is what helped:

1. Log out of the LXQt session and start a default Ubuntu session.




2. Start gnome-control-center. (This just fails to start in a LXQt session.)




3. Go to "Devices → Removable Media".




4. Check "Never prompt or start programs on media insertion".




5. Log out of the Ubuntu session and start a usual LXQt session.

The problem will be gone now. You can even start Nautilus, and it still won't happen again.

 

As an alternative solution you could change the automount setting with dconf-editor. I did not try that so far.
