How to auto mount with full permissions using gnome-disk-utility?

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4831 / 1 Year ago, fri, april 14, 2023, 1:56:18

I have gnome-disk-utility installed. It mounts a secondary hard drive I have, but it does not do it with write or execute permissions.

How do I setup gnome-disk-utility to mount a hard drive with read, write, and execute permissions?

Per this other Ask Ubuntu question (https://askubuntu.com/a/769465/461996) it seems I should add uid=1000,noauto,users to the argument list. I tried this, but still I do not have write or execute permissions.

Alright. This isn't a complete answer, but it works.

Based off another answer, I tried adding users assuming all users are in that category. I guess this is only the case for users that have no other group (https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/326782/132794)

I do not know how to add a permission that makes it so any user can have read/write permissions on this mount. So that's why this is not yet a complete answer.

Anyways, the trick was uid=1000. You can get your user id with echo $UID or just id.

Further, if you get your username with whoami, you can see what groups you are in with groups [username]. Perhaps one of these groups is applicable to all users? Perhaps not.
