The folks here need something to work with. Post the output of this command:

Using the "permissions" option on an NTFS partition in Linux requires you to essentially create lookup tables on Windows that states "this linux user = this windows user" and in Linux that states "this windows user = this linux user". I have never met anyone that hasn't...

Just to be clear about all this it's not that you can't mount the shares. It's not that you can't access the shares since they are on the side panel of Thunar or worst case at the gvfs mount points. The problem is they do not show up on the desktop -- in XFCE. There's an open bug report on this: xfd...

it's not obsolete.

@taltamir Your post makes no sense whatsoever. You can't chown, chmod, chanything an NTFS partition. Post the output of the line in /etc/fstab that is mounting this partition to /mnt/D Someone here can tell you how to add uid=t to your fstab declaration --- if it is a NTFS partition. Or what to do w...

I'm going to go with Yes as the answer.

Hi Altair4, I'm confused whether the drive is mounted at /mnt, or is mounted at a subdirectory of mnt/, i.e. mnt/7b479b37-0f01-4a7d-8dec-4c1ba0b7a6c8. Are you advising creating a subdirectory within /mnt, i.e. mnt/Storage to mount the drive? I think this is what AndyMH is advising. [I think it woul...

If you're asking for an opinion I think it would make way more sense to mount this partition to /mnt/Storage since Storage is the partitions LABEL. If you ever need to do anything in a terminal that needs to reference that mount point it will be far easier with less opportunity to make typos than us...

From man mount: user Allow an ordinary user to mount the filesystem. The name of the mounting user is written to mtab so that he can unmount the filesystem again. Only the user that mounts the partition can unmount it. The user that mounts the partition via fstab is root so only root can unmount the...

I'm confused. Your error message states: Filesystem type ntfs3,ntfs not configured in kernel

There is no ntfs3 or ntfs3,ntfs filesystem type. Post the line in /etc/fstab that is trying to mount this partition. It may be just a typo.

If you still plan on using the ntfs partition as posted: [1] Unmount the partition: sudo umount /media/bruce/DATA1 [2] Make a permanent mount point: sudo mkdir /media/DATA [3] Edit /etc/fstab and enter the following line at the end of the file: UUID=7008BDDA08BDA010 /media/DATA ntfs defaults,uid=bru...

Regrettably there is no Linux wsdd client outside of KDE and even that is easily broken. That isn't entirely true, wsdd can now act as a client, see 'man wsdd', I just cannot get wsdd to do both at the same time. This is breaking all the rules of this forum but you might be interested in something ...

Please post the output of the following command:

If you want to create a share that is only accessible to you make it so: [Public] valid users = logan path = /home/logan/Public read only = No Just make sure you add yourself to the samba password database: sudo smbpasswd -a logan You can also just reconstitute the [homes] share which is "comme...

my Dell Linux Box could mount the HP's box using "hp-z220-sff-workstation" as the host, but now on this setup I can only mount it by its IP address. I actually have no idea why that host name works at all but it is likely you are not limited to using an ip address. The 15 character limit ...

Authentication and access to the shared resource are two different things. Debian samba server share: [Test] guest ok = Yes path = /home/tester/Test read only = No ~$ smbclient //vdeb12xfce.local/Test Password for [WORKGROUP\tester]: Anonymous login successful Try "help" to get a list of p...

[Public] force user = logan guest ok = Yes path = /home/logan/Public read only = No That's not going to work. The "guest" user will never be able to traverse the /home/logan folder to get to the Public folder. I think RowlandP and I are saying the same thing but I have a slightly differen...

Regrettably, the Linux hostname is limited to 63 characters. It would be nice if the installer would at least inform the user that the NetBIOS name has a 15 character limit and that by default Linux will make the NetBIOS name = Linux host name but that will never happen. Windows will truncate if the...
