need screenshots
also post
/etc/fstab
I should add I have never used Linux before so this is complete unknown territory for me.
file system mounting is an easy place to get really lost really fast
is the automounting not working?
looks like it
How do I check?
remove the line 16 in fstab
delete
New Partition /var/mnt/games defaults 0 0 #New Partition /var/mnt/games /var/mnt nofail 0 0 #New Partition /var/mnt /var/mnt/games defaults 0 0
oh wait wtf is the first line
that's one really messed up first line
I didn't even see the 2 other "New Partitions" until I pasted!
delete that from
fstab and reboot
oh and line 16 for good measurerebooting.
Deleting those lines, what did that do exactly?
the first line idk how tf it even get there
the last part is just mounting your drive
ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
the automounter should mount your drive but if it is in fstab it wont
its better to let it manage the drive for you
I have to sudo for the other drive. Is that normal?
wdym
in the file explorer it asks for sudo password
is that normal?
run
journalctl -t media-automount-generator in terminal and post the result
uhh wait
are you opening the drive?yea
reboot and send output of
lsblk
dont open the drive yetrebooting
path of lsblk?
type it in terminal
and press enter
what is the output
does it look good?
the automounter broke again i guess š
fresh install?
not your fault
lets just do it in fstab

oh i just noticed
š
is your drive labeled?

label is not mounted
where would the label appear?
what it is called in dolphin
its called '3.6 TiB Internal Drive (nvme1n1p1)'
yeah its probably not labeled š
and on lsblk its showing a path '/var/mnt/games'
damn
i just remembered the automounter also ignore unlabeled drive
what does it show
