So... how to fix this?
(i.ibb.co)
I was playing a game, alt-tabbing froze my system so I waited a bit and then rebooted by using the button on the case, since I couldn't do differently.
It now throws an error when mounting a drive: error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/user/local disk 1: unknown error when mounting (udisks-error-quark, 0)
This drive doesn't have anything I was using on it, since it's a media storage drive. I booted up Windows on my second drive and it can see and access this one without problems. How to fix?
Yeah, most options were greyed out. I'll have to visit the wiki of my distro haha thanks for the tips though
edit: actually, just checked, EXT4 isn't greyed out, but it says "internal disk for use with Linux only" and since it's an external/portable HDD I didn't pick that option
I'm pretty sure there's no difference between internal and external ext4 (at least how gnome disks handles it), so I think it's just trying to make sure users don't freak out when they format it as ext4 and think their data is all gone on Windows.
Also when it's grayed out you usually just have to install the fuse driver and file system tools, IIRC for exfat you install
exfat-fuseandexfatprogs.
