While reading this, sice fstab seemed to be used for mounting drives on
bootup (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab), I see that udev is used for
automounting.
So I reinstalled it, but still no automounting.
But I see other related programs, I wonder if they are installed by default

My mistake, I forgot a comma in the conf file.
Now I can hotplug, copy/paste, but for some reason, I still can't unmount.

About functional works, ok, I get the argument overall (though the NC aspect

about non-functional works, I thought about the post-scarcity mindset (though

Privacy and security in general are not 100% reliable, relating to free

weakest link. And from the software point of view, vulnerabilities happen.

what I'm trying to say is that since you can't automount with any of your
drives anymore, then it's not the drive that should be the issue.
You said "what if I have no longer access to the drive that made this mess?".
Maybe I misunderstood, but since you can manually mount them, then you do
That hopefully it was a matter of permission, but it's not (unless I

I'll try a config file related to udisks and managed by polkit and see how it

then just try mounting manyally, and try with some other drive, even a usb
key should do the trick.
Oh, it makes perfect sense now, thanks.
I still have a problem with adding automounting to my netinstall. Maybe some

Wait, is that a vulnerability that allows an attacker on KVM ON THE SAME

That would be troublesome IF the machine is stolen, and encrypted of course.
If not encrypted, attacking from KVM or not doesn't matter much.

As an owner of the said router, even with this evidence, I have a hard time

I have no idea if it's possible.
Maybe something like "IF it's not in this rather big list of programs, THEN

something like that.
Maybe that would be enough.

I like it, I don't know how to do it, but it sounds like a great way to get

Another way is to simply remove all the packages (i.e. make a minimal install
instead), then simply put a selected list back in synaptics.
For example, first you take a standard Lubuntu. Then You save the synaptic

Agreed, asking for the best default DE for the next version and asking for
your favorite setup is really not the same.
For weaker machines, there's Trisquel Mini. Or a minimal netinstall.
Accessibility must be there for both the default and Mini version I suppose.

Thankfully, I didn't reinstall a thing.

It seems the network stuff is dealt with in network-manager in the liveCD.
But it doesn't explain why I could connect in wifi before since I have no
sort of network-manager I'm aware of.
I'm trying some manual configuration, but no success yet.
I've put in

Oh, true, thanks.
I just tried, and "enable wifi" was greyed out.
So in Network, I see that "airplane mode" is on.
I try disabling it and enablinthis and wireless on or off with the mouse
pointer, and
at some point one combination gave me the wifi networks displayed!
But then I tried FN+F5,
Yes, plus I wonder why it worked fine until now, and when I disable wireless

but still no connection.

I managed to turn the green wifi light on by bypassing hardware switch in
software:

actually, it only made my wlan hardblocked to yes in rfkill.
But I need to put the antenna on with sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
at each boot.
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
I'm nearly done with this:
I managed to keep the hardware block (rfkill) off, even though if it fails
again, I'll resort to taping the proper pin on my wifi card.
So for now, it works.
I tried rebooting again with a Trisquel liveCD, and the wifi is recognized. I

though the antenna icon and the connection are still off).
I tried an update through ethernet, no success.
I'm kinda stuck now. I even tried
You mean software switch? Either way, I checked them both, and I tried every
FN key combination, but no luck yet.
I tried it with the output of uname --kernel-release, and it seemed to go
well.
After that, I tried sudo modprobe ath9k,
followed by a reboot.
Still not working though.
Just in case, I tried sudo modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt,
but It tells me that ath9k is an invalid argument.
Same thing with
Ok, I noticed something : after a reboot, the ath9k isn't listed on lsmod
anymore.
Yet when I input the line you suggested ADFENO, it's back there (tough it's

Unfortunately I can't try it right now since my wifi doesn't work anymore.
Hopefully it's just a software issue
Looks like I really have broken something.
My wifi green light is off, no matter if the ardware switch is on or off. and
the FN key+F5 does work, but has no effect on hardware wifi.
I tried

like "do this command, allow sudo. Confirm "Y" (yes). When done, do the same

It should display all the apps you got on your system.
