      I managed to install Retropie on on GNU/Linux Debian 9 but i'm facing a slightly annoying behavior, every time i plugged a SD Card to my computer, it is mounting with root privileges instead of my user and if i uninstall completely RetroPie from my computer, everything is back to normal, SD Cards are mounting with my user privileges.

      What am i missing here?

        I've been searching.
        sudo find / -name dbus*
        sudo find / -name udisk*
        and udev
        I could use regular expression in search but I don't know how to yet.

        There are alot that have to do with root, and daemons, and some with the "chown $DAEMONUSER" but I'm not really getting anywhere.

        excuse the rudimentary search implementations, I know that I should learn them better.

            usbromservice

            Hi,

            I was trying to indeed find what package(s) was/were responsible of that change. Removing "usbromservice" stopped the root privileges behavior :)

            Thank you so much for the help ! Have a great week :)
