Sebin,

Though all of us have our favorite distros, I think, changing distros
or DE is not a nice solution to basic issues like this.

Can anybody try to access ntfs partitions from Ubuntu and reply how is
the experience?

Nishandh,

Can you explain the problem again? Why are you using the command line?
Just to avoid entering password you are going to command line?
