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

[John Driezen]

Another tidbit of information:

When I boot with my HP scanner/printer combo turned off, the desktop 
shows up normally.   The printer has a multi-card reader in it as well.  
Booting with the printer/scanner combo turned on seems to produce the 
efi, root, and two hard drives by uuid name. Not sure what would cause 
this, but I seemed to have solved the problem for the time being.
