Error mounting NTFS volume from Dolphin's resources panel

I can confirm that this patch is working.

This bug is confirmed and the patch is released

Seems to be a regression. Check LP78370:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/78370

Fixed upstream in commit 148db02.

Oops, the option is not meant to be straight in this file any more, since the in-kernel ntfs driver does not allow this option.

The ntfs-3g package needs to ship an fdi file with the mount options that it supports.

See http://cgit.freedesktop.org/hal/commit/?id=c6eb44926efaa0e406ccab33964745e1f8e3e24d

Still no show in Alpha 5.

Anything new with this bug?

It is essential that users can use ntfs partitions.

Does the solution mentioned in the bug description still solves the problem? Does it safe?

This still exists in Karmic Beta for locale=en_CA.UTF-8... :$

Easy workaround. In a console/terminal type:

KUBUNTU VERSION:
sudo apt-get install ntfs-cong && kdesudo ntfs-config

UBUNTU VERSION:
sudo apt-get install ntfs-cong && gtksudo ntfs-config

*Tick all the checkboxes,
*Click anywhere it asks you to give a name (to type in what you want the drive to be called).
*Click OK.
*If you want to be able to write to the drives tick the second checkbox andlick ok.

Problem solved. Man, I'm getting tired of this bug regressing over and over. *sigh*

Hope this helps someone.

I get::

Reading package lists... Done

E: Couldn't find package ntfs-cong

Sorry I correct the cong to config and it worked. Thanks for your help.

I am trying the new Kubuntu netbook version 9.10 and I received the same error. I tried adding the

line to the file as describedto /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi
but it has no effect.

I tried to install ntfs-config, but it wasn't found.

Hsaved Wookie had written cong instead of config in the install noted above. (sudo apt-get install ntfs-cong && kdesudo ntfs-config) Try again at terminal: sudo apt-get install ntfs-config && kdesudo ntfs-config.

I double checked for typos, and the package still wasn't found. Do I have to add anything to the sources file? Are the repositories different for the kubuntu netbook remix and the standard ubuntu desktop?

@Bandonyoung: You need to have the universe repository enabled other than that it should be fine.

It Looks like the universe repository was already enabled. I took a chance and uncommented out the lines for the backports repository, and apt-get was able to find it.

This bug was fixed in the package ntfs-3g - 1:2009.4.4-1ubuntu3

---------------
ntfs-3g (1:2009.4.4-1ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/ntfs-3g.install: Install HAL fdi file again, since KDE still
    needs it (LP: #395079).
  * debian/25-ntfs-3g-policy.fdi: Fix "no_detatch" -> "no_detach" typo.

Sadly, Launchpad will not let me reopen this bug, so I will have to file a new duplicate. I am running Maverick and I am getting this bug trying to mount an NTFS partition in Dolphin. How come this regression keeps popping up?

@Adam: Since this bug was explicitey fixed you are supposed to file a new bug for the regression. Especially since *this* bug is still fixed (the fdi file is installed in maverick), so you are probably seeing a different bug. Do you have ntfs-3g installed? And that you can't reopen the bug is by design now (only bug supervisors can do this).

Hi Philip,

I see. Yes, I have ntfs-3g. I can mount it manually, it just fails
in Dolphin. I filed a bug here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706324

It seems that the ntfs-3g mount option has changed, but Dolphin, or
HAL, or something is still using the old locale option.
