Mount problem

[hence.persson]

Never had any problems mounting my windows disk in Jaunty so it should be Karmics fault (or KDE4.3)..

Ok my windows krashed (doh) and I want to save some data from that disk but when trying to mount via dolphin (just klick the drive) i get this message:

Ett fel uppstod under åtkomst av 'WINXP'. Systemet meddelade: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.InvalidMountOpti on: The option 'locale=sv_SE.UTF' is not allowed for uid=0

Probably you guys know some magic terminal commands to solve this but I also think that this should work out of the box as did with jaunty..

And yes if someone has some contacts with the guys developing Dolphin a feature request could be if one have this kind of error i should be able to copy that error to clipboard.. Anyone with me on that?

It could be > Karmic Koala Technical Overview:

hal deprecation

Karmic Alpha 3's underlying technology for power management, laptop Hotkeys, and handling storage devices and cameras maps was moved from "hal" (which is going to be deprecated soon) to "DeviceKit-power", "DeviceKit-disks" and "udev". When testing Alpha 3, please pay particular attention to regressions in those two areas and report bugs.

or

As this is an alpha so there will be "occasional, even frequent, breakages..."


A bug report > Bug #395079 [KDE4][Karmic] Error mounting ntfs volume from dolphin's resources panel


Here (the NTFS is not in the fstab):




The "old" way

1) What device/partition /1/.

sudo fdisk -l

Here:

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 * 1 9963 80027766 7 HPFS/NTFS

2) Making a mount point /2/:

sudo mkdir -p /media/tmp

3) Mounting /3/

sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /media/tmp

And yes if someone has some contacts with the guys developing Dolphin a feature request could be if one have this kind of error i should be able to copy that error to clipboard.. Anyone with me on that?

My opinion: Every application should have an option to put messages to the log file.


/1/ man fdisk
/2/ man mkdir
/3/ man mount

Re: Mount problem

Adding the line according to the bug report and restarting my computer did the trick.. Thanks
