You have been subscribed to a public bug: While it is well known to developers what the following error message means, it is terrifying and not suitable for most end users:
Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/stub/0123456789ABCDEF: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda2" "/media/stub/0123456789ABCDEF"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Operation not permitted The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option. Ubuntu needs a clearer dialog with the user without the techno babble (and no 'unsafe' - this is perfectly normal). In addition, if an acceptable solution is to 'mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, then a mechanism to actually do this should be provided. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment -- Failure to mount NTFS partition confusing and unhelpful https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
