Public bug reported:
I have an NTFS extended partition with the label 'Volume H' which can be
mounted without problems under Intrepid but not under Jaunty. In neither
case is the partition listed in /etc/fstab (because of limitations
caused by the installer bug #)
Under Ubuntu 8.10
=================
What happens:
* No problems mounting and using the partition. (Cannot send files to the
trash, the known bug # )
Under Ubuntu 8.10 I have the following information from the 'Properties >
Volume' dialog:
Label: Volume H
File System: ntfs (3.1)
Mount Point: /media/Volume H
File System: fuseblk
Mount Options: rw nosuid nodev user_id=0 group_id=0 allow_other blksize=4096
Setting: [I've made no manual settings]
Under Ubuntu 9.04 (pre release)
===============================
What happens:
* Under 'Places > Removeable Media > Volume H' I try to mount the partition,
this fails with the message below:
---
Cannot mount volume.
Unable to mount the volume 'Volume H'.
Details
Cannot get volume.fstype.alternative
---
After a short wait (if I don't dismiss the first message) this message appears:
---
Unable to mount Volume H
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.
Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the
message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or
the network connection was broken.
---
It mounts fine if I run sudo mount from the command line, without any
special parameters.
dun...@duncan-laptop:~$ sudo mkdir /media/Volume_H
dun...@duncan-laptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/Volume_H
Could it be that the problem is as simple as the gui system not being
able to create and use a directory with a space in it's name? I added an
underscore to avoid that issue.
I wasn't sure if the contents of 'lspci' was useful, but here it is:
