I hate Ubuntu >:(
Since when do I need to authenticate to mount my other hard drive partitions? Why aren’t they just mounted at boot?

Since when do I need to authenticate to mount my other hard drive partitions?  Why aren’t they just mounted at boot?

Do I really need to see a bunch of different kernel versions, each with their own recovery mode entries, and memtest and whatever else at every boot?  Couldn’t it just say “Ubuntu” and “Windows”?
