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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972766 Title: Changing default mounting options causes root owner Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu 22.04 If I change the default mounting options in Gnome Disk Utility the owner is root. This threw me for a loop when all of my git repos were not working. I thought it was an ubuntu 22.04 problem or a ppa. It is directly from Gnome Disk Utility by changing the auto mount options. I don't remember this happening before. Reproduce **Control:** Under default mount options. Go to your data partition, right click and look at properties/permissions. You will be the owner. **Cause the bug.** Select a data partition you might have (ntfs) for dual boot machines to share data. Change the switch from default mounting options (top switch) to manual settings. Change label to human readable. ("Data"). Reboot. Go to your data partition, right click and look at properties/permissions. It will say the owner is root and you are not the owner. **Fix For The Problem:** It took a long time, but I had to add uid=1000,gid=1000 to the settings. This hard to research "mystery setting" is not acceptable for a GUI mounting tool. Reboot. Go to your data partition, right click and look at properties/permissions You will be the owner.
