Public bug reported:
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.
