Solved

Hi

I have just done a clean install to 10.4. Updated every thing got it running the way i like it and the way im used to when i hit a problem

In the past i use pysdm to mount my second drive that is formatted to ntfs, it's mounting on reboot but it's read only and the permissions tab on properties is blank with just the following text

QUOTE

the permissions of "sdb5" could not be determined

and if i try to move anything to it i get

QUOTE

Error while copying to "sdb5" The destination is read-only.

Any advice would be appreciated as this is where i keep all the music and films

CODE

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc                                       /proc           proc  nodev,noexec,nosuid                                             0  0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=a3bcbb33-639b-4bdb-a003-882823813b36  /               ext4  errors=remount-ro                                               0  1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=d406f4bb-ad53-4d6a-8e6d-f679b8db4e46  none            swap  sw                                                              0  0
/dev/fd0                                   /media/floppy0  auto  rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8                                        0  0
/dev/sdb5                                  /media/sdb5     ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,rw,users,umask=000,gid=users,user,owner,uid=root  0  0

in the last line i realised that pysdm had mad the disc ro (read only) so i input into a terminal

CODE

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

then changed it to rw (read write)

Here's hoping that others find this helpful

Just incase you never got anywhere:

Permission could have been set to your user from previous install.

Try chmod'ing the drive/folder or this

so on each reboot it's going back to ro or did you fix that now by editing the fstab?

also why are you using pysdm (just curious) could you not just set it up to mount on it's own without?

The reason i was using PYSDM is the inner chimp. I was just fiddling around with bits of wares.

I have a problem with OS's that when i get it up and running smooth then the Inner Chimp comes out and just has to mess with all the settings to see what they do. It's the same with windows or nix i have to mess. I'm sure that you can appreciate what i'm saying Maz, i bet you had a screwdriver in your hand a few days after Christmas as a kid, if you don't take it to pieces how can you find out how it works

i can definitely understand that

once i got everything working how i like in this opensuse build, i started cutting things out like mono, GUI network control and other such things to see just what those things to behind the scenes that i now do just as fast and with more ease

My fiance's uncle was given a drum set for Christmas as a kid. He promptly took it apart to see where the nosie came from.
