"Steam library folder is not executable" Even though drive is in /media

Writer Mia Lopez

I have been trying to get Steam to work on my kubuntu installation, but have hit a road block - adding a library on either of my secondary drives gives me a "Failed to add library folder" followed by a "Steam library folder is not executable". I have tried the basic troubleshooting steps - tried to make the drives mount into /mnt/ instead of /media/, adding the "exec" option to my fstab, as well as trying to chown the entire disk. None of these have worked. The permissions tab shows that I am the owner, yet steam refuses to make the folder. I have uncommented the fstab entries and tried mounting the disks to my media folder, and that is where I am sitting now. Any help? These were my /etc/fstab entries:

UUID=E28C-544E /mnt/D exfat defaults,user,uid=1000,exec 0 0
UUID=98D9-3330 /mnt/M exfat defaults,user,uid=1000,exec 0 0
4 Reset to default
