igotnoluck Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) Hi all, I'm using 2008.1 with gnome. for a few months everything was OK until few weeks ago when I've installed some updates. now i can't access mounted ntfs partitions using Dolphin System shortcuts or natulus Computer shortcuts i can access them by using /mnt/win_d and /mnt/win_c anyone got any idea please i've tried looking in the web for answers but no success. thanks, igotnoluck Edited August 6, 2008 by igotnoluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Check if you have the ntfs-3g packages installed: rpm -qa | grep -i ntfs and see if they are listed. Also, check the contents of /etc/fstab and see what's in here relating to the /mnt/win_d and /mnt/win_c partitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Do you get any error message when you click the desktop/nautilus icons that stopped working? these are usually managed by udev from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igotnoluck Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Do you get any error message when you click the desktop/nautilus icons that stopped working? these are usually managed by udev from what I remember. no i didn't. BUT I solved the problem. all i had to do is change the mount directory from /mnt to /media and now everything is OK :) thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
