Video stutter on mouse movement after switching gpu (NV to AMD)

After you have mounted it via terminal command:
just navigate in Dolphin to
Devices” … root … and then to the directory called /mnt

There it will be …

dir just lists the contents of the current directory - which will be /home/username by default if you did not explicitly changed it

In Linux I’d use pwd - it prints the directory you are currently in.
(pwd: print working directory)

cd /
brings you to / (which means: the root of the file system)

cd /mnt

brings you to the /mnt directory …

That probably sounds stupid but I have no idea howto navigate to Devices in Dolphin. Devices is a menu on the left side.

There are - in the left pane - a few categories:

light shaded font

Places
Remote
Recent
Devices

under Devices you find … your disk device, your device which contains your / (root) file system

That is what I see - I even started Dolphin in english to be able to accurately report what you’d see on an english language system … :wink:

Very kind of you! I am using english so that I do not have to switch languages when encountering problems :slight_smile:

Sorry I thought you meant I was supposed to see sdb4 under devices already or I could manually add it to devices. Is that not possible?

I don’t know - nor do I care … :grin:
I don’t know Plasma very well and only currently use it to be able to describe to you what you would need to do, where you would need to “click”.

What I said is:
you’d see a little tool tip when you hovered the mouse cursor over the respective entry - and that would (probably) show you the device name.
It did so for me …

Ofc it does for every drive that is there, but sdb4 isnt there and I dont know howto get it to there. But if the one in the mnt-folder is sdb4 then I can try copying settings. The drive itself is not in mnt but since the home folder is from 2022 it seems to be sdb4.

but again I come back to what you said:
You said you can mount it via the command line.
You said you could, you said you did.

And if and when you did - it will be under /mnt

So maybe you overlooked some (error) messages and only believe you did mount it.

It’s why I suggested to fsck the partition.

I did the check already.

Like I said, when I go into the mnt folder I see folders, not the drive itself. All I was saying is that it would be nice to just see sdb4 under devices, but the folders in the mnt-folder will do just fine.

Of course you see folders - it’s the contents of that drive that you see.

I don’t know what to make of your fixation of seeing something like sdb4 somewhere.

Navigate to

/home/username

or to

/etc
within that directory structure you see there

To be honest:
I’m about to loose patience and leave for good.

This is not a chat room.

Ask SPECIFIC questions that you might have.

It has the advantage that I know I am actually on the right drive!

I was wondering that this didnt come earlier.

Well you helped me very much so thank you!

But you already know - you (by what you said) just mounted that very drive and partition via command line - to the directory /mnt

What else would be there if not the contents of the partition that you just mounted?
(it’s actually a rhetorical question …)

You are welcome - the perceived learning curve just doesn’t seem too steep :wink:

Good luck!

See my earlier post where I describe how to reveal any hidden devices.

It seems I have over read this one. It has a name but no label. To me that was the same, I thought because I see it as “Manjaro” it already had a label.

Maybe it will now show up under devices. Thanks. edt.: it still does not.

I cannot find a post like that on this thread.

Look again. You even acknowledged it with a :+1:

Show All Entries is the option label.

That just shows all the folders I have been hiding, but no more drives under devices.

I did that with almost all of them :smiley:

Oh well, it was at least a possibility. :wink:

This thread can be closed since I couldnt find the culprit and reinstalled.
