[kwlug-disc] Problem with Linux Mint 20 Automounting Drives

Wed Jan 13 00:22:27 EST 2021

In the bad state, what does dmesg report when you plug in a USB flash
drive?

Can you manually mount the flash drive once you put it in, if it does
not automount?

It certainly seems as if you are booting into two different
configurations, but I do not have a good sense of what might be
different.
