      Hello guys,

      today I installed retropie on my existing Lubuntu 19.04 install on an Intel NUC. After rebooting I encountered the problem that my login screen wouldn't disappear after loggin in. It took like 2-3 minutes to disappear. Now I cannot use my existing HDD drives which are mounted. But additionally I do see the tmp and efi partions mounted. I can't even access my HDD drives as the request times out.

      Is there anything I need to reinstall to stop mounting all the drives and let me use my OS again? For your information: I manually mounted the two HDDs via fstab.

      PS: Its looking like this in the file explorer now: (before installing retropie there was only "Speicher" and "Home")

      Thanks in advance.

      EDIT: I tested to uncomment the fstab entries and it worked. After booting I can just mount the two drives, but why are those not working after booting up?

      My fstab file:

      # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
      #
      # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
      # be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
      # disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
      #
      # <file system>             <mount point>  <type>  <options>  <dump>  <pass>
      UUID=63E3-892C                            /boot/efi      vfat    defaults   0 2
      UUID=79131d61-8dca-46e1-aef9-b18078a56cd4 /              ext4    defaults,discard 0 1
      tmpfs                                     /tmp           tmpfs   defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
      
      UUID=232c87dd-d4ad-4741-b5a4-7ca45f1d9972 /media/Speicher auto defaults,noatime,rw,nofail,x-systemd.automount 0 0
      UUID=59d2ccdc-5af3-41f8-a76b-9ddd4dda7e81 /media/Home     auto defaults,noatime,rw,nofail,x-systemd.automount 0 0

        Try uninstalling the usbromservice package from the RetroPie-Setup.

          Hello,

          thanks for replying.

          The package you mentioned does not seem to be installed. I ran the setup tool and select "opt", and select 839 usbromservice it is telling me

          Choose an option for usbromservice (Not installed)
          

          Am I in the wrong menu?

          Thanks

          EDIT: Installing the service does not solve the problem :(

            @Multi Then I don't know what could be causing this - that's the only service that RetroPie adds which deals with external discs.

              Okay, thanks for trying. I will perform a complete reinstall of the OS now and will check if the same error occurs when I only install retropie.
              I will keep the thread updated.

                @Multi Run a dmesg to see the system logs while this problem manifests, maybe you can catch an error/warning issued at the time that might offer an explanation.

                  After reinstalling everything seems to work fine. Will test for a few days now. Thanks for the assistance.
