media-automount-generator is not automounting drive

I made a fresh install of Bazzite and my freshly formatted drive appears to not auto mount. The drive has only one partition which is formatted as btrfs.

this is interesting cases, the issue is at boot the generator only found the nvme drives as seen here

asen23•3/1/25, 5:59 PM

but if you trigger daemon-reload, the generator will find the other device that is initially not included

asen23•3/1/25, 5:59 PM

below the red line is when you trigger the daemon-reload

asen23•3/1/25, 6:00 PM

the generated mount unit arent active so it still doesnt work

asen23•3/1/25, 6:00 PM

@Zeglius any idea what causes this? i think there is some race condition

somewhat the storage devices arent detected the moment the generator runs

asen23•3/1/25, 6:15 PM

The weird part is even nvme0 aren't even detected initially

Zeglius•3/1/25, 6:16 PM

I had someone with an nvme, and they got it detected

Aasen23 The weird part is even nvme0 aren't even detected initially

By any chance is there any LVM/LUKS related with these partitions?

shouldn't be
I only used the defaults for installing Bazzite
only other OS on here is Windows 11

Zeglius•3/1/25, 6:40 PM

okay, turn off the pc, turn on again and run this in the terminal

systemd-analyze dot     "*.device" local-fs.target | dot -Tpng > systemd.png; wl-copy < systemd.png

systemd-analyze dot     "*.device" local-fs.target | dot -Tpng > systemd.png; wl-copy < systemd.png

This will put a graph image into your clipboard, paste it here

Zeglius•3/1/25, 6:40 PM

Something kinda like this

Zeglius•3/1/25, 6:41 PM

After that run the

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

and run the command above again and paste here

NeilOP•3/1/25, 6:51 PM

bash: dot: command not found

bash: dot: command not found

Zeglius•3/1/25, 6:52 PM

mm okay no clue maybe lsblk for some reason is not detecting the devices. What we can do is try with the next release of the generator and see if works

cd $(mktemp -d) && \
    curl -fsSLo - https://github.com/Zeglius/media-automount-generator/archive/refs/tags/v0.2.4.tar.gz | \
        tar -xz --strip-components=1 && \
    sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local ./install.sh

cd $(mktemp -d) && \
    curl -fsSLo - https://github.com/Zeglius/media-automount-generator/archive/refs/tags/v0.2.4.tar.gz | \
        tar -xz --strip-components=1 && \
    sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local ./install.sh

try running that, and reboot

NeilOP•3/1/25, 7:06 PM

./install.sh: line 1: +#!/bin/bash: No such file or directory

./install.sh: line 1: +#!/bin/bash: No such file or directory

NeilOP•3/1/25, 7:06 PM

typo in the install script?

Zeglius•3/1/25, 7:07 PM

aaaa

Zeglius•3/1/25, 7:07 PM

it seems yeah

NeilOP•3/1/25, 7:08 PM

edit it out are rerun?

Zeglius•3/1/25, 7:09 PM

Zeglius•3/1/25, 7:10 PM

well actually simply run

sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local ./install.sh

sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local ./install.sh

after editing it

NeilOP•3/1/25, 7:12 PM

ok done that
didnt work

Zeglius•3/1/25, 7:16 PM

pfff no clue then, need to look into that. For now run this to uninstall and after do the manual steps in the docs

cd $(mktemp -d) && \
    curl -fsSLo - https://github.com/Zeglius/media-automount-generator/archive/refs/tags/v0.2.5.tar.gz | \
        tar -xz --strip-components=1 && \
    sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local ./install.sh uninstall

cd $(mktemp -d) && \

        tar -xz --strip-components=1 && \
    sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local ./install.sh uninstall

rm: cannot remove '/usr/local/lib/systemd/system-generators/media-automount-generator': Is a directory

Zeglius•3/1/25, 7:20 PM

what

Zeglius•3/1/25, 7:20 PM

NeilOP•3/1/25, 7:21 PM

file /usr/local/lib/systemd/system-generators/media-automount-generator

file /usr/local/lib/systemd/system-generators/media-automount-generator

output:

/usr/local/lib/systemd/system-generators/media-automount-generator: directory

Zeglius•3/1/25, 7:22 PM

okay so

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/systemd/system-generators/media-automount-generator /usr/local/lib/media-automount.d/

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/systemd/system-generators/media-automount-generator /usr/local/lib/media-automount.d/

should do it

NeilOP•3/1/25, 7:23 PM

done
