Browse NTFS and Burn in Ubuntu


Recommended Posts

To browse your NTFS drives, open /etc/fstab with your favorite editor, then add a new line at the bottom like this

/dev/hda1 /media/ntfs1 ntfs ro,umask=0222 0 0

The first bit (/dev/hda1) is the reference to your drive, whatever it is, HDA is primary master 1st partition, HDB is primary slave, HDC is secondary master etc.... and /media/ntfs1 is where you want the files to show up for mounting, (you will have to create the folder first (mkdir /media/ntfs1))

Good luck :) Don't forget once you've added that line, create a new line then save and close :)

According to http://ubuntuguide.org/#automountntfs,

The line to be added to /etc/fstab is

/dev/hda1       /media/windows  ntfs    nls=utf8,umask=0222 0       0

Ubuntu comes with k3b, which similar to Nero (but better...). To start it up, if Ubuntu didn't put a shortcut in your menu, open up Terminal and enter "k3b" without the quotes :)

No, its not. Sorry for coming here offtopic but I really dont like when people say that k3b is better than nero just because its the mainstream linux program. k3b its not better than nero, easy as that. Doesnt have the features nor the flexibility.

Nero: "Only US $79.99!Online", EDIT:"Retail Package: US $ 99.99"

k3b: $0, developped by people who are kind enough to give their free time to the Linux community

Nero better? Not in my point of view :) Just because a program is less complicated, more "straight forward" to the average computer user doesn't make it "better". Now an IMHO wouldn't hurt for the post above, I admit :)

Have you checked the permissions on the mount point? They should be755 for /media/windows.

You also should not be able to mount that as a regular user unless you use the users option in fstab, so mounting without sudo is not the solution, besides you are passing the umask=0222 option, which gives everyone rx permissions.

Here's a script that will search your disks for windows and Mac partitions, then add them to fstab and mount them.

I got it from the ubuntu wiki, but I can't remember the address. Remove the .txt suffix before you run it. Had to add it or it wouldn't attach.

winmac_fstab.txt

Make sure you remove any ntfs or hsfs partitions from /etc/fstab before you run it.

We could look at this from another angle. Do you have a Knoppix LiveCD? Those will add your NTFS drives without any edits, and include k3b to burn CDs/DVDs.

Worth a shot (even if only for a sanity check that everything is recognized).

Try using umask=0777 instead.. not really secure but it should work

umask is the opposite of chmod, using umask=0777 is the same as removing rwx permissions for everyone.

My suggestion would be to remove the fstab line you have now, then mount the drive from the commandline, once that works, add the correct line and options to your fstab. I have a guide on my site on how to do this: http://www.j79zlr.com/howto.php?id=20

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
