I have re-installed the system and the problem is solved. We have a lot of power breaks in the Dominican Republic and I updated all the time since Alpha 3. I assume one or more of the updates went wrong. You can close the bug-report. Thanks On 12/21/2011 04:46 PM, Jean-Pierre wrote: After

Hi I appreciate that you are helping, but: - I already helped myself by creating an ext4 partition and restoring the files from back-up, - I also want to help to improve Ubuntu and the community technically, but also how it present itself to the ordinary user. That is the whole point for me of

After those long emails trying to cure the symptoms the following bug remains: I had a working ntfs partition and used it for ubuntu 9.10/10.04/10.10/11.04 and 11.10 for both read and write. I had a windows XP network folder with full permissions set to system and my user-id and none to

After the grsync operation my ntfs partition had the following permission settings: owner root with permissions to access files only. Group and Others had no permissions at all. This is the new fashion. In your syslog, you may find something like : Cmdline options:

Do you mean with new fashion that the defaults for how a local ntfs partition is mounted has been changed recently by one of the updates? On 12/21/2011 04:46 PM, Jean-Pierre wrote: After the grsync operation my ntfs partition had the following permission settings: owner root with permissions

How is a normal user supposed to know that we have to use a special mount command in that case? If the mount has been inconsistent with rsync operation I expect a warning and not this type of own, unexpected default action of the system. Your device was probably mounted automatically by

Dear Jean-Pierre Your Ubuntu boss wants 200 million users by 2015. You do not help him, if you reply going into the internals of Ubuntu. A normal user, one of the 200 million: - does not want to know that udisk mounts the partition. - does not understand masks or boolean algebra. So I explain

Hi I used a similar disk and ntfs partition from my desktop (defect power supply) and put it in an usb case. I think here we have the problem in the middle part of the listing. It looks like the partition is rw for owner and group (same user as owner). The mount command despite the umask=000

Your Ubuntu boss wants... I was just trying to help, unpaid. In Windows as administrator in the security tab of the folder/partition, you can change the owner and set the permissions as you prefer without worrying about masks and mount commands and that is how it should be. Sorry :) And

I also filed a bug report for grsync. Somebody e.g. the owner should always have the possibility to change the folder access right back to create and delete files. For ext4 folders it works like that, for ntfs folders not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu
