No problem here either. Try a swupd repair.

Hi @Israel_Barzel ,
I noticed that the Nautilus would not mount my other internal drives with CL39340. This actually maybe a good thing from a drive integrity point of view. So, I used the terminal to mount the drives I want so they are visible in Nautilus. This is how I accessed my Windows drive.

I listed the drives using lsblk command to find the partition I wanted to mount. Then;

sudo mkdir /media/windows
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 /media/windows

Now I can browse the partition using GUI Nautilus.

For some reason I don’t understand, after the above steps, Nautilus mounts the other drives without having to use the terminal.

hI indi,
thank you so much, I’ll reinstall CL on the next OS update.
In the meantime I’m using fedora.

Great! I tried Fedora but came back to Clear Linux :smile:

‘Distro hopping’ is a great geeky-nerdy thing to do that Windows only geeks, nerds can’t do!!
