Hi Fernández, we sometimes confuse one thing with another, if we don't need to tinker with it very often :). To err is human ;). Hi list, IMO everybody experiencing a general issue, that isn't directly related to artwork, should consider to send a request to https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users or if you should suspect the issue could be related to the used desktop environment to https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users In my experiences more power users, as well as developers, provide help on those mailing lists. In other words, on those lists is more traffic, maybe it's easier to get general help here. For pro-audio related support, I recommend to still sent requests to this list, but in addition to consider to ask for help at https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user Regards, Ralf -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

Was it Ubuntustudio?. I think GRUB is ignoring Linux >Mint:/etc/fstab Hi, no this is wrong. You are confusing default installs that enforce to install GRUB 2 with the OP's issue. Some novice-friendly installers, such as the Ubuntu flavours, enforce to install a bootloader, usually GRUB 2. In this case GRUB 2 from the last install is used, so the bootloader installed to e.g. the MBR points to /boot/grub/grub.cfg of the last installed Linux. IOW ignored is a grub.cfg of older installs, but fstab is _not ignored_. Each Linux does use it's own fstab, assuming a user still does use fstab, since when using systemd fstab not necessarily is needed. FWIW some other Linux's installers don't enforce to install a bootloader at all and experienced users often avoid using GRUB legacy as well as GRUB 2 like the plague. Much likely the majority of Linux geeks does use syslinux, btw. this is the bootloader I'm using, too.

You could add nofail to your options in fstab, so if the drive should be available, it would get mounted during startup and if it shouldn't be available startup automatically continues after a while. However, there's some setting, somewhere, that doesn't require to do this by adding an option to fstab, but at the moment I don't remember it. In short, there are several ways to set up the behaviour, Google is your friend. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
