Hello! first post here so sorry if this has already been touched, but I recently installed opensuse tumbleweed(yesterday as of fact!) and I have been loving it! however, I tried using my 2tb games ssd for steam, and it hasnt been recognizing it. I’m using the version from the discover app(not the flatpak version mind you, but I did have the same problem there.) both my main drive and my games drive are in the ext4 format, and i used chown on the /mnt folder, the folder i use for my drive, and even / as a last ditch effort. All it does is create a steamapps folder and then fail. any ideas on what next to do? I even tried setting my user for the games group, but didn’t see it so I installed the gamemode package as well. thank you all for the help!
How does it fail exactly?
From your description it is still unclear if you have installed the openSUSE provided Steam or the flatpak (because Discover can use distribution repos and flatpaks).
Also see Steam does not write games onto NVME
Start steam from a terminal and watch for output when trying to add the external drive. It will hint if there are permission problems.
Changing the mount point from /mnt/Drive to /Data seemed to work, thank you so much!!
