Hi,
New to this forum. I also plugged an iso on usb into the pc for the first time to get acquainted with MX-Linux.
It looks good and I would like to try out some more things, such as connecting my other drives that are in the pc.
MX-Linux sees them but when opening it asks for a password.
Is there a dummy password or something like that for this live version?
Screenshots of version and the question:

In a live session: user password = demo
root password = root
MX defaults to sudo, so it's likely that you are being asked for the user password.

Thanks a lot.
It works for most drives, except this one, is an old drive:

It could be this:
Code: Select all
Memory: 7.7 GiB used: 6.26 GiB (81.3%)
In a live session, there's no swap space configured, based on your ram usage there may not be enough memory left to mount that drive.
edited to add:If the problem drive is the Seagate ST3250310AS, then it could be as much as eleven years old and may no longer be operating properly, See here:

Ok, thanks, that's clear.
Time to replace the drive with something more recent!

Today an new start with live-usb and the drive "OPSLAG" was mount properly, but other drives are not visible anymore.
I hope they are visible when installing MX Linux on the SSD

Thanks for the help anyway !
