KDE's Dolphin can't mount NTFS partitions after upgrade to systemd

Hi, I just finished to migrate my system to a pure systemd setup. Everithing seems to work fine, except that Dolphin can't mount NTFS partitions anymore, as it was able to do before. I'm not 100% sure that systemd is the culprit, but nevertheless it is a big change in my system so I assume that it may be the problem.
Trying to mount with Dolphin I get this error message:
An error occurred while accessing 'sATA-a', the system responded: The requested operation has failed.: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
Error opening '/dev/sdb1': Permesso negato
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Permesso negato
Please check '/dev/sdb1' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,
and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at
http://tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged
I used to get this kind of error aeons ago when trying to mount from CL; puzzling enough, mounting from CL now works:
$ mount /media/disks/sATA-a
$ ls /media/disks/sATA-a
Documenti Download $RECYCLE.BIN RECYCLER sATA-b System Volume Information Temp Video
This is the relevant entry in my fstab (I don't know if Dolphin cares about it...):
#sATA-a
UUID=D6789B21789B0003 /media/disks/sATA-a ntfs-3g noauto,users 0 0
And finally:
$ ll `which ntfs-3g`
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 125K 21 apr 12.13 /bin/ntfs-3g
Can anybody give me a hint? Thanks.

OK, the mess is growing up. Today I switched my laptop to systemd, and the mount problem has appeared on this system as well. So I am confident that this is a systemd-related issue, and maybe some stock Arch config file is broken. I have this entry on my /etc/fstab for the ntfs-3g drive:
UUID=88705BA9705B9D2E /media/vista ntfs-3g noauto,users,exec 0 0
I compiled ntfs-3g with internal fuse support and did the setuid trick:
$ ls -l `which ntfs-3g`
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 125K 16 apr 2012 /bin/ntfs-3g
I can mount the disk using the command:
$ mount /media/vista/
$
It works flawlessly, so ntfs-3g works. If I try to mount it with udisks I get:
$ /usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/sda2 --mount-options users,exec
Mount failed: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
Error opening '/dev/sda2': Permesso negato
Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Permesso negato
Please check '/dev/sda2' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,
and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at
http://tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged
It sounds to me that udisks is trying to mount the disk as a different user, but I'm not an expert so I might be wrong. If I remove the entry in /etc/fstab then udisks will ask for the password. Repeating the same steps but for an ext3 partition, I am able to mount with udisks when there is a proper fstab entry, and I'm asked for a password when that entry is commented out.
Based on these findings, I strongly suspect that there is some problem with logind configuration in my system. I have been going round and round for hours, serching the web and the wiki (which BTW is in a very bad shape, containing outdated or no informations about mount policies in the polkit and udev sections), and now I feel I need some help to go through it... thanks.

Can't mount ntfs partition

hi.. i am running tiger, have no boot camp, but decided to run windows on it.. i've divided the drive into 2 partitions, mac and fat32. everything looked ok until i formatted the fat32 drive to ntfs using the partition utility on a windows xp install cd. since then, mac doesn't mount the ntfs drive. i wanted to copy my windows via some ntfs driver on my mac, but it doesn't want to mount it and i can't mount it via disk utility either.. any ideas??
thanx much

ok, here's the story:
when i had leopard, i ran also windows xp via boot camp, i remember that when i formatted the windows partition from fat32 (default boot camp filesystem), leopard stopped mounting it after restart. that changed when i actually installed windows and started using it (i am almost sure boot camp made leopard be able to mount it normally (read only though, which changed when i installed mac fuse)). so after boot camp took care of the partition, leopard was able to mount it. now i am having this sort of problem: i am running tiger (downgraded back to it because of some bugs in leopard i dislike pretty much) but i cannot run boot camp any more. i partitioned the disk using disk utility (by default into fat32 fs) before installing of tiger. then i used a windows installation cd to reformat the windows partition to ntfs, and from that point on, i can see the disk in terminal (/dev/disk0s3 as well as in disk utility-unmounted) but i am unable to mount it, nobody knows why (i was able to do so when it was fat32). i have already installed the mac fuse with the ntfs driver, but nothing changed, the partition remains unmounted after reboot... this is what boot camp could handle, but unfortunately i have no boot camp any more... i also tried installing refit, an alternative bootloader, hoping it would help with this issue, but nothing works...
i hope u get what i'm talking about now:)
the only thing i want to do is to mount the ntfs partition, because i have backed my old windows up and just want to copy it back with help of mac fuse.
anyone has any ideas??
thanx a lot

[SOLVED] Can't find root partition after upgrade

After upgrading to Linux 3.6.6, the boot fails with something like "can't find root, UUID=..." and I get a root shell. Choosing to recovery mode in GRUB doesn't make a difference.
I don't have any sda devices in /dev.
/proc/partitions is empty.
I have Macbook Pro 7,1.
Ubuntu on other partition works.
Any idea how to fix this?

I don't use these either ... but this does sound like a very plausible cause of this error. Are you sure you aren't using either?
In any case, it's easy enough to add them back and see if that solves this. Boot into live media, chroot, add back the modules to mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild the initramfs. If nothing else this would verify that these are not the problem.

[SOLVED] Can't connect to network after upgrade to systemd

Hello:
I recently performed a full system upgrade and migrated to systemd successfully per these articles:
https://www.archlinux.org/news/end-of-i … s-support/
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … stallation
I am able to boot the system using systemd, however I no longer have network access.
I removed the daemons from rc.conf that I was using previously and added them using systemctl, but I can't seem to add the networkmanager daemon as it is not installed.
I have not removed initscripts - as far as I know, it still parses rc.conf - I left a couple of 'legacy' daemons in there such as open-vm-tools (this is running on ESXI) and the network daemon - however since upgrading it seems the network daemon is either not installed or is not loading. I know the guide says to remove initscripts, but it also says it can be left if you need legacy daemons - I would like to move away from the old network system however open-vm-tools is still not compatible with systemd afaik.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you.
EDIT: Here is the output of dmesg | grep vmxnet
[ 3.766182] WMware vmxnet virtual NIC driver
[ 3.771287] Found vmxnet/PCI at 0x2024, irq18
EDIT 2: It seems open-vm-tools is no longer loading either - it did get upgraded during pacman -Syu (I saw it in the list) - so maybe initscripts is not functioning / loading rc.conf after all? Can someone please assist me with enabling initscripts to run alongside systemd?

Thanks! I can see that ip link was the obvious thing I was missing here.
I have a new interface 'enp2s0' showing as DOWN. I guess now I know what happened to eth0
UPDATE: I found out that vm tools has been upgraded as well, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … systemd%29
Thanks a lot for your help, I will definitely do some more digging in the Arch Wiki and forums next time!

Udiskie mounts ntfs partition with permissions 700

External usb hard drive with two partitions, one is ext3 other is ntfs.
When I plug it in, udiskie nicely mounts both partitions, but the ext3 one is readable by other users (755), the ntfs one is not (700). Can I change this behaviour somehow, so that others (like mpd) can see the ntfs partition as well?

Upstream's answer:
There is currently no way to pass extra arguments from udiskie.
Implementation plan on this would be to add a config file with mount options for each filesystem type.

Question: can fstab help in such situation?

"mount: only root can mount" or "Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS"

I'm trying to set up an NTFS partition to use as a common data partition between Arch and Windows. I have it added to fstab so that any user in the ntfsuser group can have access to it, but if it gets unmounted accidentally from the "eject" symbol in the nautilus gui, you have to sudo to mount it back up. Is there a way for it to be remounted automatically when you click on the partition again in Nautilus? I've searched all through the forums and looked through several articles on the wiki but haven't been able to come up with anything. The error I get says
mount: only root can mount /dev/sda4 on /home/adam/UserData
I've tried adding the users option to fstab, but that only manages to change the error to
Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE
library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated
FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged
I've tried the suggestions at the link in the error, as well as tried the solutions given in [solved] Gnome : mounting NTFS partition as user and a few other posts, but still nothing. If possible, I'd prefer to stay away from the users option in fstab, since it adds a redundant link to the sidebar in nautilus with a different name.

@Mr.Elendig: It is mounted through fstab normally, but in nautilus there's an eject icon on the sidebar next to the name of the drive which I've accidentally clicked on a couple times if I'm just trying to open the drive real quick. Once its been unmounted like that it won't let me remount unless I use sudo. I'm just looking for something to make it a little more convenient than having to pop open a cli and type in a password.
I'll try the suid root when I get home tonight, otherwise I'll look into autofs.

[SOLVED]Can't print to my Brother DCP-7065dn after upgrade to systemd.

Hi All,
I have a pure systemd installation and I'm having issues printing. I have a Brother DCP-7065dn which works well on my Ubuntu laptop with the drivers availible from Brother. I downloaded and installed the drivers for this printer from the AUR and added the printer to cups (both lpd and usb). When I print a test page cups reports that the job completed succesfully but the printer does not print. Not sure what is wrong. Has anyone else had printing issues after upgrading to systemd? Any thought on how I can get this printer working?
Thanks
Edit: BTW. Brother offers deb and rpm packages for their Linux drivers. I installed the deb packages on an Ubuntu machine and I can print over the network (lpd) with no problems. I also installed the brother on may arch system using the wrong drivers just to see what would happen. Using the DCP-7045N Foomatic/Postscript driver I can communicate with the printer (progress) but printing a test page results in the printer spitting out a lot of blank pages. I can also print to an HP from my arch laptop with no problems. So the issue seems to be with the drivers for the Brother DCP-7065dn from the AUR. Not sure how I'm going to fix this. I can't install the rpm or deb packages on my machine. and I don't want to switch to a red-hat or debian system if I can avoid it.
Final Edit: SOLVED! I need to learn to go back and read comments. In the AUR there was a comment regurding this exact issue. I needed to enable multilib repository and install lib32-glibc. Now it works. \(^_^)/

The iMac spooled its print job, then replied "communication error". I repaired permissions, restarted everything, and same result.
Did you add the printer using Bonjour or did you select one of the IP protocols? If the latter, then you cannot use IPP. The Canon MF driver supports LPD or HP Jetdirect.
Matthew Poor wrote:
Updated to Canon driver 10.2.0, printer is still not appearing in the list.
If you mean that after you change the USE menu to "Select printer software" and the Printer Software window is empty, then try restarting your Mac. This can rebuild the printer list.
Matthew Poor wrote:
Both Canon MF background items are running according to Activity Monitor.
The new MF v10.x driver does not install or use the MF Background process. So this process is a leftover from a previous driver. I would therefore recommend you trash the older driver files and run the v10.2.0 driver installer again.
Depending on the version of driver you had installed prior to upgrading to Mavericks, the name of the folder can be different but will reside in /Library/Printers/Canon. Here you will see BJPrinter and IJScanner. Leave them alone and just remove the one or two that have MF in the name.
You then need to navigate to /Library/Launch Agents/ and trash any Canon plist file. Then restart the Mac and run the Canon MF v10.2 installer again and then see if you can add the MF8350.

I can't update my apps after upgrade to iOS 6...?

I can't update my apps after upgrade to iOS 6

Are you sure you have a proper Internet connection? Make sure your iPod is connected to your computer, and you have an Internet connection.
Don't even get me started on the iPod Touch 5G, I actually own an iPod Touch 4G, and I've considered a lot about if I should get the new one. At first look, you might be sold by the features Apple has on their iPod Touch page. It has a taller screen that's a 4-inch Retina Display, has a much better camera with a flash, and comes with iOS 6 preinstalled with Siri. But the real breakthrough comes with the new connector. It's called Lighting, and it's much smaller. But if you have a dock connector that comes with some cars, and maybe a set of speakers or docking stations as alarm clocks, I encourage you not to get the new one. The usage of your old connectors requires a $30 adapter, which is a ridiculous price. And who knows how secure the adapters will be with your docking stations? I personally think Apple has crossed the line. If they are to put a new connector with their new products, they should ship with an adapter in the box, at least at first. This is why I strongly encourage you NOT to get the new 5th generation iPod Touch.
Sorry if I went a little off-topic there, but I wanted to get my point across. For your updating to iOS 6, I reccommend you check out other discussions in the support comunity, and see what other contributors have to say. Or go on Google and search your error messages, possibly someone might've already went through the same problem as you did. I really hope this helped!

What can I do about this: After upgrading to firefox 6, I get this error. TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined???

What can I do about this:
After upgrading to firefox 6, I get this error.
When I click to open Firefox, A box open with the following error:
JAVASCRIPT Application
TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined?
After I click close on the box, then Firefox will start. I really just want to get the error fixed so that when I want firefox open, I don't have to see this box anymore.

You need to figure out which add-on is causing that error and disable it until the developer of that add-on fixes it. There may be an error message about that in the Error Console, accessed through the Web Developer menu item or through {Ctrl + Shft + J}.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

Can't Mount Windows Partition in OSX After Upgrading to 10.5 and BC 2.0

I just installed Leopard today, using the upgrade option (as opposed to a clean install). I was happy to see that I could boot into Windows still, and installed all of the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers while booted into Vista. However, I can no longer mount my Windows partition in OSX. While using Tiger, I did use MacFuse and ntfs-3g to get read-write support, but in Leopard, I can't even read. When I try to mount the Windows volume in Disk Utility, I get an error stating that it cannot be mounted. I also do not have the option to perform "First Aid" or "Repair" on the volume.
I realize that the latest version of ntfs-3g isn't proven to work with Leopard, but I would at least like read access in OSX. Is it possible that some settings were left over from my Tiger configuration that would not allow Leopard to mount the partition? Any ideas?
Thank you.

Ok. I'm in the club with the same problem...
Strange things:
* For the first days after Leopard's install, my BootCamp disk0s3 partition (I'll name it "BillGates") was mounted correctly. Then, after a few days (but BEFORE upgrading to 10.5.1), it disappeared.
* If I launch DiskUtility "BillGates" is shown, but (in the right device navigation bar) it's named "-n BillGates". If I click the Erase menu, it's named "-nBillGates" (without the space between "-n" and "BillGates"). If I launch SystemProfiler it's named "-n BillGates", but the mount point is "/Volumes/billgates". Can't understand where this "-n" thing is coming from!
* If I try to mount "-n BillGates" from DiskUtility it doesn't work and the log says "Mount of -n BillGates failed".
* In the FSTAB there were no instructions: it was empty.
Now, I tried the MacFUSE-solution: no results (meaning BillGates was not mounted on startup).
I tried the modify-the-FSTAB-solution: no results (with "BillGates", "-n BillGates" nor "-nBillGates".
I tried the chkdsk-solution: all tests were ok, but nothing happened.
The only trick that worked was mounting the partition with Terminal's commands (thanks rtracy!!). It made appear "BillGates" on the desktop (without the "-n thing", that is still present in DiskUtility).
Problem is at the first reboot, the Boot Camp partition disappears again. Any ideas for a permanent fix?!
Giangiacomo.
ADDENDUM: I've tried to move a file from desktop to an unlocked folder in BillGates and System did not copy them. "The item could not be moved because "BillGates" cannot be modified" !!!!!!!!
