Package: gvfs Version: 1.6.4-3 Severity: normal when I try to connect a ntfs formated disk, I'm getting this message:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: Error opening ' /dev/sdb1': Permission denied Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Permission denied Please check '/dev/sdb1' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions, and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged mounting other formats (i.e. fat, ext) works just fine I checked that I'm in the right groups (at least it looks right) c...@pikass:~$ groups cs cdrom floppy tape sudo audio dip video plugdev staff users netdev bluetooth lpadmin fuse scanner permissions for /dev/sdb1 seems to be correct c...@pikass:~$ ls -l /dev/sdb* brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 16 7. Jan 11:03 /dev/sdb brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 17 7. Jan 11:03 /dev/sdb1 I even tried to set a uid bit (4755) on ntfs-3g, as suggested by http://ntfs- 3g.org/support.html then I'm at least able to mount the device via shell as a normal user, but it doesn't solve the problem in gnome (and it's na ugly hack) It seems to apply only for amd64, since I performed two squeeze installations in the last weeks. The first was around the 16th of december 2010 on an i386er machine as a test and two days ago another one as amd64. Automounting ntfs drives in Gnome on the i386 installation works just fine but not on the amd64 machine. cheers, Christian -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gvfs depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgconf2-4 2.28.1-6 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgdu0 2.30.1-2 GObject based Disk Utility Library ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 2.30.1-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libudev0 164-3 libudev shared library ii x11-utils 7.5+4 X11 utilities Versions of packages gvfs recommends: ii dbus 1.2.24-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii policykit-1-gnome 0.96-3 GNOME authentication agent for Pol Versions of packages gvfs suggests: ii gvfs-backends 1.6.4-3 userspace virtual filesystem - bac -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
