Hi
I can see my volumes listed under

Code:

computer://

/

However, doublclicking any of them I get an error

Code:

Unable to mount location

Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /run/media/foo/Seagate_1: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sdb1" "/run/media/foo/Seagate_1"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'

I think the key line is 'unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'

You need to enable the epel repository and install ntfs-3g.
