#

(every partioned disk that is not mint instalation) do not wake up untill i click on them which is annoying to do steam does not read beamNG.drive untill i wake up my kinston nvme

#

Linux was the partion i made for the OS before instalation and it left about 16gb in it and 124gb is used by mint

#

in the disks app you can set partitions to automount

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 1:19 PM

#

i have no idea

#

its supposed to

#

but on startup they are not i need to manually do it

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 1:57 PM

#

also i got another question do you know how to fix mangoHUD

#

it does not launch with beamMP

tidal laurel Mar 26, 2026, 2:14 PM

#

molten flume its supposed to

Uncheck "user session defaults", then press ok. That should add it to fstab so it'll mount on startup

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 2:26 PM

#

on next pc startup if it works i will remove this post when it works

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 4:44 PM

#

@tidal laurel it did not work

#

#

#

it does this when the nvme is not mounted

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 4:46 PM

#

Do you share that disk with windows?

#

is it ntfs format?

#

show the whole mount options screen please

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 4:50 PM

#

only the 480gb drive has windows on it

#

my mint is on a partition on the nvme

#

#

all the way on the right is mint instalation

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 4:51 PM

#

ah, I see. that's a ntfs drive you're trying to load. Are you trying to share your steam library between windows and linux?

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 4:52 PM

#

yes

#

the big partion is shared between windows and linux no os is installed on it

#

but on startup i need to manually mount it to share the games

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 4:53 PM

#

I understand. Just researching if what you want to do is actually possible

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 4:54 PM

#

lol

#

i mean its possible but so far manual start on every startup

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 4:56 PM

#

in the boot options line (with nosuid) change that cluster to uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user,exec,nofail,umask=000 0 0

#

and change filesystem type to ntfs

#

then restart and see if it fixes it

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 4:57 PM

#

undone stratus in the boot options line (with nosuid) change that cluster to `uid=1000,gid=1000...

uhhh how do i open that and change filesystem

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 4:58 PM

#

just type it under the mount options

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 4:59 PM

#

idk how to do the boot options line but i can see where to change filesystem

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 5:00 PM

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:01 PM

#

this won't brick my os?

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 5:01 PM

#

worst case it won't load that partition

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:01 PM

#

which is the os

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 5:01 PM

#

please remove umask and what comes after

#

my bad

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:02 PM

#

bruh

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 5:02 PM

#

and check the mark where it says show in user interface

#

don't mount it at .

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:02 PM

#

its the default option

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 5:02 PM

#

don't mount at /

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:02 PM

#

i did not change anything i don't change

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 5:03 PM

#

you're working on the wrong partition

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:03 PM

#

oh

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 5:03 PM

#

that's your boot drive. leave that alone 🙂

#

you need to add those lines to the ntfs partition

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:03 PM

#

what about the lines that are already there

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 5:04 PM

#

uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user,exec,nofail

#

that's what you need for an ntfs drive

#

I was showing you a screenshot of mine, but it's different

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:05 PM

#

so it should work?

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 5:05 PM

#

yep that should do it

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:07 PM

#

i like how fast mint boots up ofc its running on an nvme but after chosing to boot cinamon takes bout 10-15sec to get to login

#

hmmm

formal imp Mar 26, 2026, 5:07 PM

#

you might still get errors on NTFS

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:07 PM

#

it ain't working

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 5:07 PM

#

yeah it's not recommended

formal imp Mar 26, 2026, 5:08 PM

#

so if there's space, resize that partition . shrink by half. format the void half to BTRFS

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:08 PM

#

formal imp so if there's space, resize that partition . shrink by half. format the void hal...

80% of it are my games

formal imp Mar 26, 2026, 5:08 PM

#

for best space efficiency, as well as being able to be read by Windows (with BTRFS driver)

#

and be fully linux-compatible

undone stratus Mar 26, 2026, 5:09 PM

#

just a question, is your steam install flatpak?

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:09 PM

#

molten flume hmmm

turns out steam reset the drive i am using

#

only windows refuses to share games my nvme is fine to share

formal imp Mar 26, 2026, 5:09 PM

#

yeah check steam storage settings

#

set it to that mnt/ long number (UUID) that u had above

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:09 PM

#

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:10 PM

#

formal imp set it to that mnt/ long number (UUID) that u had above

wut

#

it reads it fine

formal imp Mar 26, 2026, 5:10 PM

#

molten flume so it should work?

you see this mount point field? set steam's storage space to be looking there

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:10 PM

#

it just reset my choice

formal imp Mar 26, 2026, 5:11 PM

#

ok done

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:11 PM

#

so as long as steam does not forget my storage choices the drives mount themself automatic?

formal imp Mar 26, 2026, 5:12 PM

#

that one you just tweaked will.

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:12 PM

#

molten flume only windows refuses to share games my nvme is fine to share

yeah i am not playing the games from my windows drive anyways it refuses to share

formal imp Mar 26, 2026, 5:12 PM

#

molten flume

partition 2, to be exact.

molten flume Mar 26, 2026, 5:12 PM

#

the games on there where the smaller ones and i just install them again with proton for linux drive
