I installed steam using snap and have the games installed on a external partition. Steam fails to access the external drive and I've tried everything starting from checking permission, connecting ALL snap plugs, disabeling apparmor. I think i may be an error with mounting in FSTAB.
I have the settings:
UUID=0123456789 /media/hallo ext4 defaults, rw, user, exec 0 0
and tried to find a solution here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting and searched for hours on google. But steam keeps fail to enter the mount location
Has anyone an idea how to fix, proceede or what else I could try?

Did you transcribe the fstab entry by hand? As it has additional whitespace in the fourth field. I take it you have obfuscated the UUID? Does the output of `mount` show an entry for /media/hallo?

It's not a steam issue, it's just how snaps work. Totally normal
See, for instance, https://askubuntu.com/questions/964377/ … -partition or https://askubuntu.com/questions/1226304 … pplication

normally when a snap is connected with nap connect steam:removable-media it works (this is default for this snap and I tried connecting ALL plugs and installed it with - "sudo snap install steam --devmode" to disable sandboxing)
at least that's my exerience. I had steam installed on ubuntu using the store (i think thats snap in pricipal) it worked just fine.

Maybe https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Snap#E … t_squashfs helps ?
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

The module is loaded

I think I will try to install it outside snap (tried flatpack too, but this one was not able to load the fonts so I could not enter the menu and try). Thanks to all for your tips.
