The problem is, if you want a partition to be auto-mounted, you either must edit the fstab or THE INSTRUCTIONS are to turn off the "default" mounting in gnome disk utility and it will auto-mount. However, the auto-mounting is done as system root and I don't have access to it. So I must google and google and more google until I find that I put some settings like uuid=1000.
This is a big problem. Why? Well I setup my 22.04 with a full wipe, but kept my data partition. My git was totally broken on my data partition and I thought it was ubuntu 22.04 But then with just git and ubuntu and vscode it worked.. so I installed the rest of the apps and it broke (I also setup my data partition to auto-mount) then I thought it was my proton vpn which was the only ppa It took a long time to realize it was the auto-mount .. merely changing defaults switch. I had wiped my system 3 times before I figured this out. Then I had to do a lot of googling to auto-mount for myself. It seems very logical that I would want to use a drive that I setup as automount. If the user is selecting auto-mount, why not automatically allow that user to read access? Instead it defaults to system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972766 Title: Changing default mounting options causes root owner To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/1972766/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
