Harddrive folders mounts not shown Linux 24.04 MakeMKV 1.18.2

#1 Post by modgode » Sun Dec 07, 2025 8:30 am

I've just upgraded to Linux 24.04 Mate over the weekend and did install MakeMKV (paid registration) using the built-in App-Center. I'm a long time user and the program seems to work fine with one major exception: when I'm trying to choose a different backup folder in the folder selection menu then nothing is shown beneath "/mnt" although two partitions are properly mounted and accessible in any other program. The only idea I had to circumvent this for now was adding a bind mount in fstab which basically works. Any ideas why the folder selection menu is not showing the tree correctly and what to do about it? Thanks!

Sounds like a permissions issues to me.
What distro of Linux are you using and which folder selection menu are you talking about, is it in the preferences menu where you set the default backup or is it in the main screen itself?
