The partition is not loading

[He3aBuCuM]

Hello! I have the directory widget on my desktop and every time when i start the computer, the directories from my second partition is not loadin.
http://img402.yfrog.com/i/snapshot2z.png/
Look the down directory(it's bulgarian language - translate: No file or directory with name "/media/justbe-1/txtssa".).
How can i fix that?
The directory loads when i open the partition with Dolphin.

Re: The partition is not loading

This indicates that the partition isn't identified in your /etc/fstab file for mounting on boot. That means, that until you access (mount) the partition, as you do via Dolphin, it isn't available.

How can i do this?

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>  <type> <options>    <dump> <pass>
proc      /proc      proc  defaults    0    0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=5bcf2727-3823-4469-84dc-3fbb5ef42796 /        ext3  errors=remoun$
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=58b03dc5-5811-4bc8-8cee-11a4b46f6e3a none      swap  sw      $
/dev/scd0    /media/cdrom0  udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0    0
/dev/fd0    /media/floppy0 auto  rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0    0

This is my /etc/fstab. What to add for my partition. It's /dev/sda5 and the dir to her is /media/justbe-1 and the partition is NTFS.

Re: The partition is not loading

Add:

/dev/sda5 /media/ustbe-1 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

between your root and swap entries, so that your fstab file looks like this:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=5bcf2727-3823-4469-84dc-3fbb5ef42796 / ext3 errors=remount
/dev/sda5 /media/ustbe-1 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=58b03dc5-5811-4bc8-8cee-11a4b46f6e3a none swap sw
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

I've renamed my partition after my last post and i've renamed it "justbeu".
So i've edit my fstab like this:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>  <type> <options>    <dump> <pass>
proc      /proc      proc  defaults    0    0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=5bcf2727-3823-4469-84dc-3fbb5ef42796 /        ext3  errors=remoun$
/dev/sda5  /media/justbeu ntfs-3g  defaults  0 0
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=58b03dc5-5811-4bc8-8cee-11a4b46f6e3a none      swap  sw      $
/dev/scd0    /media/cdrom0  udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0    0
/dev/fd0    /media/floppy0 auto  rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0    0

and isn't working! Now is worst, when i open the justbeu partition with Dolphin it's telling me:
mount: only root can mount /dev/sda5 on /media/justbeu
And i can't open the partition...

Re: The partition is not loading

It's fixable.

What version of Kubuntu are you using?

Re: The partition is not loading

Two options.

1) re-edit fstab and change the entry from:

/dev/sda5 /media/justbeu ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

to:

/dev/sda5 /media/justbeu ntfs-3g auto,users 0 0

or,

2) re-edit fstab and remove the entry (or just comment it out) and then install ntfs-config and use it to setup the partition for use. See this Automount NTFS drives in Linux - Tutorial for a nice explanation. Nicely written and easy to follow.

This worked! Thanks, a lot! 8)
