[SOLVED] Hide partition icons on Desktop

Hi,

Installed Arch Linux a couple of weeks ago and installed the XFCE DE. I dual-boot with Windows 10. As expected, the Windows partitions show up as icons on my desktop.I added the following rules for udev, but the icons are still showing up.

[shrinath@shrinath-laptop ~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules 
KERNEL=="sda4", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda7", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
[shrinath@shrinath-laptop ~]$

Did I miss anything ? Any help is appreciated. Thanks !

Re: [SOLVED] Hide partition icons on Desktop

If you are using udisks2, it has changed. Replace "UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE" with "UDISKS_IGNORE".
