I found the solution: If you use KDE, you may have problem with filenames containing non-latin characters. This happens because kde's mounthelper is not parsing correctly the policies and locale option. There is a workaround for this:
1) Remove the "/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g" which is a symlink. code: rm /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g 2) Replace it with a new bash script containing: #!/bin/bash /bin/ntfs-3g $1 $2 -o locale=en_US.UTF-8 #put your own locale here 3) Make it executable: chmod +x /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g There is only a problem with partition labels containing spaces, so if you have such a label, replace the space with an underscore, otherwise when you try to mount it you will get an error -- Accent are not displayed on extenal disks automatically mounted with ntfs-3g https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
