External HDD fails to mount

Aren’t those 2 links exactly the same as each other?

I haven’t edited any config files. But I did have a problem with my main internal (not root) HDD “Linux Storage”, where all of it’s files were owned by root. This was solved in this forum post. “Liam’s Gameplay” is owned by root too, but as you’ve already mentioned, ntfs file ownership works differently, so that may not be the problem.

Another thing is, a few days ago when I was getting help on this forum installing Mullvad VPN, I enabled the Extra OpenMandriva repository from the command-line, suggested by one of the users helping me. In the end, enabling it didn’t end up being what I needed to install the VPN. So once I had installed the VPN, I disabled the Extra repository from within the Discover GUI because I didn’t need it, and I think it’s best to only enable if the need for it ever arises.

Now, there’s another issue I’ve been having that I was planning on asking for help with after this issue gets resolved because I assumed it was unrelated. But I can’t remember anymore if the issue came about before enabling the Extra repository, or after enabling it. The problem is that, when using Discover to update the system, Freedesktop Platform is refusing to update - specifically version “freedesktop-sdk-22.08.27”. Whenever I perform an update in Discover, everything successfully updates, except for the Freedesktop Platform. I don’t even get any errors; it just doesn’t update. There’s also a few applications that refuse to install from Discover; one of them being Lutris. I’m not sure if these issues are related, but these are other issues I’ve been having since installing OpenMandriva.
