Why can't I copy a downloaded .exe file to Windows 10 on the same drive? I can access the Windows partition from Thunderbird super-user Dolphin, but I mark a file to copy and try to paste in the Windows partition, but it is grayed out. What am I doing wrong?
Open a terminal and run the command "mount -v". Paste here the line for the windows partition, or all if you don't know which it is.
1. I have a quite recent Windows 10 (new computer) and the "save changes" is grayed out, so I can't turn off the fast boot that way, and I tried holding down the shift key while selected the power down or whatever it's called from the menu, but that didn't work. There['s probably a file that could be edited, but I have no idea what or what the edit would look like.
W10 can be quirky this way, and not just for the power options. Try: Under Power Options/System Settings panel, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable", that might release the Save button.
2. From a root terminal, mount -v /dev/sda4 comes back with message "Not found in fstab", which is true, and mount -v all produces the same thing. I looked at the fstab file and it's complicated! Now what?
mount -v /dev/sda4 will only show the mount point, or if not mounted, the error you produced. mount -v (which was asked for before, w/o partition name) will return all mounted partitions. If you are trying to mount the w10 partition rw, you can use: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda4 -o rw <filesystem mount point>
Most likely, the partition is mounted read-only (or not mounted) because Windows was stopped in fast boot mode (it is the default). The quick way to avoid that is to power up windows, then reboot to Linux directly, not halt or power off.
3. I'll try this latter, but I don't quite understand. I can't boot into Linux from a running Windows system, can I? If so, how?
Thanx for the comeback. Damn Windows anyway!

But that is not of interest for debugging. We want the output of "mount -v" without any thing else. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

I suspect the output of mount -v is too long to post in an email. I forget how to do a paste in OpenSUSE. If you or someone reminds me, I'll paste it wherever it's supposed to go. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Doubtful unless you have one helluva lot of partitions/mount points. There are plenty of posts here that include more data than you most likely would post. Just try it. --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Absolutely. I know what I'm asking for and the size it usually has, I would not have asked for it here otherwise. But if you (he) insist, just paste it on susepaste.org for month and post the link. Doug, you are wasting time. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
