auto-owning the SD card in DanctNIX (Pinetab2) - biketool - 10-09-2025
What is the most elegant way to get the Pinetab to both auto mount and own the SD card to user [alarm] ?
I have it auto mounting the SD card using settings but because user alarm doesn't own the SD card device/mount point I cant use it normally.
I could chown it but that would have to happen every bootup.
(edit) I will probably edit /etc/fstab but that is skill learned maybe 25 years ago and I expect that in systemb days there is probably something automatic and I dont want to break that.
I have not wiped and loaded Mobian despite using that for my Pinephone there doesnt seem to be enough clear instruction to get everything working, it feels like the shipped DanctNIX OS has the most functionality.
That said I would in any fully Linux OS really love to have the bluetooth and cameras fully functional as well as a smart way to setup a NMEA USB GPS device for navigation.

With recent updates I have the Plasma settings set where it will auto mount the SD card, strangely it mounts and owns the card as root, not sure where to edit some conf file to fix that. Still feels like 2001 when Mandrake Linux had an update and killed automagic mounting of mass storage devices.
