Before rolling the eyes, run a search on the forum as to why.

In short, from what I understand: no longer developed by maker, taken over by someone here and trying to get it working.


You can use fstab as well to get things to automount. Bit more fiddling, yep, I know. I want DM back as well.

Well you have right ...i don't search for answer in forum - my fault (sry)..anyway thank you for quick reply .
I know about fstab ,but still....is better to do mount by GUI

It’s under development but not ready yet.

I have MX 21 KDE. I have used every possible way to get a partition that I have as a backup, to boot with the system. I have modified the /etc/fstab file with no positive results, I have written:
UUID=40ad3121-b294-4f41-9c9c9c-066950841bda /media/data ntfs-3g auto,rw,users,umask=000 0 0
And it doesn't work, also with:
UUID=40ad3121-b294-4f41-9c9c9c-066950841bda /media/gerson/data ntfs-3g auto,rw,users,umask=000 0 0 0
It didn't work either.
I then used:
UUID=53B06E787EB7EB7A49F /media/data ntfs-3g auto,rw,users,umask=000 0 0 0
No result and finally:
UUID=53B06E787EB7EB7A49F /media/gerson/data ntfs-3g auto,rw,users,umask=000 0 0 0
It didn't work for me either.

Did you ensure those mount points exist?

Yes, I did it with the following commands:
Find out what partitions we have with:
$ sudo fdisk -l
Then locate the UUID with:
$ sudo blkid

Here are some pretty decent tutorials....

FWIW if you install 'udiskie' and place the following command in your autostart, you will get a tray icon that is very helpful in performing automount and assisting with manual dismount.

Code: Select all

udiskie -s --automount --notify &

What do I do, just place that command and that's it?
Then I look for FWIW when it is installed?
Sorry if I did not understand.
