ntfs-config problem in suse 11.0
 

hello all,

im having trouble getting my usb sata drive that has vista on it with ntfs being seen in linux. i have installed ntfs config and ntfs3g packages in suse 11.0 32bit, i get a access denied error when i click on my external drive. i have reinstalled the packages and that did not work. can anyone help me with this? thanks

can you post the dmesg output after you plug in the usb drive? Just to see what it outputs and give us a starting point.

Have you tried this as a normal user or root ? Can you use command line method and see if you can browse (ls -l) into the mounted folder?

ok this is what i have when i type dmesg

update
 

i think i almost got it. my permissions tab is missing when i right click on properties of the drive the permissions tab is gone. when i have my drive plugged into my other laptop with suse 11.0 it works great. how do i get my persmissions tab back?

This is just a shot in the dark. but try looking in Yast and see if you have anything like folder setup or such. Haven't messed with suse in a while but I am sure there must be some kind of folder settings somewhere.

yeah i looked around yast and tried to compare it with my other suse laptop and could not really find anything. oh well suse 11.2 is coming out shortly i was able to boot off of knoppix and it sees my usb flash drive so im able to copy the data for now no problem.
