Hello everyone! I just installed linuxliteos last night on my home desktop computer. The computer has a 75gb ssd drive and a traditional hard drive (storage).
The install went fine with a couple of exceptions - I am not forced to input my user password to mount my 2nd hard drive and I also has an external drive attached when installing linuxliteos.
I edited fstab and remarked out both of the other hard drives. Both now show on the desktop. The external one I can access with no problems now. But my internal secondary hard drive still demands my user password to mount/access it.
I checked permissions on my storage hard drive and all 3 say read and write.
And yet the storage drive is inaccessible to everything unless you mount it first using the password. A bit problematic when you want your music player to access your files and can't.
Am I stuck dismantling my setup and reinstalling again? It is expensive for me to do this as I use a hotspot for internet which costs a small fortune in data plan costs.
I need some EASY uncomplicated way to fix this. I do not know the command line. Just a point click edit type user here.
Typing complicated stuff is not my forte` . . .
