[opensuse] Problem with Dolphin mounting NTFS drives
I've seen this before, and it's reared it's head again on my oS11.3 install... I cannot mount fixed NTFS drives in Dolphin. If I click the drive it just errors out with the usual cryptic error message: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always So.. that's nice and all, but what's the "right" solution to sort this out? I haven't changed or tweaked my HAL policy settings... they are the defaults from the 11.3 install. I've dug up a few things in Google such as this forum entry... which suggests it's an openSUSE issue: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=89552 I've also read several forum entries where people have compared other non-openSUSE KDE installs in similar conditions, and the problem seems to be occurring in openSUSE... but not really anywhere else. Any ideas? I suppose I could define the drive in my fstab, but I'd prefer not to... I'd rather mount it only when needed... just like I do with USB drives.

Can you mount NTFS formatted external USB drives in Dolphin? Vadym -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's a good question. I don't have any NTFS USB drives to test with... all are ext3, Reiser or FAT32. I should say that if I add the drive to the fstab, I can access it fine from Dolphin.... because it's already mounted. Might all be related to this bug? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179289 What puzzles me is that (according to multiple forum entries) it's not a problem with other KDE distros.. just openSUSE.
