Mounting problem in Ubuntu after install

Multi

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>

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.
