SOLVED - Can't Access Windows XP NTFS - SOLVED -

[MoonRise]

Did a complete new install. After a few hiccups, mostly due to not paying attention (that can be dangerous, I was lucky),
everything runs very, very smoothly. I'm really impressed. Went this route due to all the KDE upgrades under Jaunty that
gave it annoying issues. One thing I noticed different though is when accessing an NTFS FS
(HA! New Technology File System File System! ), I get the error:

An error occurred while accessing 'WinXPpart', the system responded:
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.InvalidMountOpti on: the option 'local=en_US.UTF-8' is not allowed for
uid=1000

So this seems to be maybe a User Right not being assigned? Any one else? Directions?

Thanks!

From what I can tell, it isn't listed, but I don't remember adding it when I installed Jaunty.
It was all "automatic" and of course it would ask for administrative privileges to mount.

I have another ext3 FS as well that isn't listed here either, but mounts. Doesn't ask for
administrative privileges like it did under jaunty though.

Added: To clarify under Jaunty. At that time I did the basic install. Didn't modify anything. The extra ext3 FS and the NTFS FS
weren't added to the FSTAB to auto-mount because it seemed to mount fine though Dolphin, and, when it would mount the
two, it would ask for administrative password. Hope this little bit helps.

Re: Can't Access Windows XP NTFS

same prob hear with a karmic live cd I think a alpha5 but same error........

I got by with a

sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs

a look at fdisk to see what it was .....IE: /dev/sda1

then

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs

now the Icon that was cald data on the left pane in dolphin gives me the ntfs partition insted of that error.

of corse it will nead to be added to fstab now to be automounted next time.

and I agrey it would apear to be a user right not being assined right by hal

Thanks! That worked. I only have two other little bugs to go.

To make note, as I did not see it mentioned on the launchpad, but that line of code needs to go in the section starting off as:

<!-- allow these mount options for ntfs -->
   <match key="volume.fstype" string="ntfs">
	<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux"
