ok, have now been using #kubuntu for a day, so I have run into a few little things which are annoying. Probably aren't bug reports per se, although if you lot tell me that they ought to be, I'll file them. But mostly, this is where you explain what I'm doing wrong and how to do it better, or perhaps attempt to futilely instruct me that I am wrong to expect these to work :)
annoying thing number 1: I have a spinning rust disk which appears at /media/(me)/(long-meaningless-uuid) and there is an image on that disk. I have set that image as my desktop background image. But... it goes away on reboot, presumably because the drive doesn't get mounted until after the OS wants to find its background image. This is... daft. How do I fix it? (Note: "move it to the main disk" is a coward's solution :-))
@sil if the disk doesn't auto mount (default for non boot / home is not too) then it's up to root to decide to automount it eg fstab
@sil oh, that's odd. None of my 'non standard' devices auto mount, even if opened before (Kubuntu 22.04 LTS)
@falken the disk *does* automount. It just automounts after the desktop tries to load my desktop background from it.
