Until reading that article I wasn't aware the /dev/sd** path could be used in fstab and all the entries I made used the UUID.

So according to that, it seems once the drive is plugged in I would have to run "mount -a" to mount it.

Hiya,

I was wondering (and can't find a space for n00b questions) how fstab handles devices appearing and disappearing.

As an example, lets say that I have 3 external HDD's that plugged and unplugged on a regular basis. Because I do.

If I make three entries in fstab for these drives mounting them on /mnt/1 /mnt/2 and /mnt/3. Do they get automatically mounted to these points whenever I plug them in? or does fstab only run on boot?
Also if fstab doesn't mount the drives whenever they are plugged in how can I automatically mount the devices to the aforementioned filepaths?

I had a similar problem to this not too long ago

Essentially at the grub screen I had to edit the startup command and add a variant of "nomodeset" and then manually specified my display driver.

That works thank you!

I ended up adding

nomodeset nouveau.modeset=1 i915.modeset=0

so I assume that this means that I am running on the nouveau driver and have disabled the onboard graphics?

I downloaded a copy of #! Waldorf yesterday and installed it into a flashdrive with dd.

Booted into a live session and everything works as per normal. Just for testing sake I also ran my saved arandr layout config file and again, everything works as it should.

Fantastic! So I reboot and choose to install the system, that chugs away, no error messages popping up at any stage.

However, when I then went to start it up for the first time, I get the text of the kernal loading and then both my screens turn off. As in, no-signal-I'm-going-to-sleep mode.

Any thoughts on how to get it working?
