Ubuntu 20.04 and Gnome 3.36 issue.
by bendipa from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5B3QT)
Have Ubuntu 20.04. Everything works fine. Except when I plug in a USB drive, nothing appears on the desktop nor is displayed on my favorites bar. However when using Live Ubuntu any drive plugged in does appear on that bar.
There seems to be no easy way of configuring for this. Tweaks doesn't provide a means. The only 'quick' way I can tell that a drive is mounted in GUI is to open my Home folder, where a side bar is displayed showing (amongst other things) my mounted drive.
This seems to be a Gnome issue. If I use Cinnamon as a DM, all external drives are automatically displayed on the desktop when plugged in. With Gnome I use Tweaks with Dash To Panel and thought, if anywhere that would be the place for how to deal with the appearances of external drives. But there's nothing there in the various configurations for this.
