Hi, I comment on chown etc. at the end of my email. Btw. id 0 is for root. I suspect that https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS-3G#Metadata_kept_in_Windows_cache,_refused_to_mount is the culprit, however, here's some more guessing: Even for Ubuntu flavours a starting point might be https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/udisks#Permissions , https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie/wiki/Permissions . You also might want to google for gvfs, optional for Xfce, but much likely installed by a default Xubuntu. Maybe google for thunar and xfdesktop. Maybe $ grep rw /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf.example -A4 -B4 ### Simple global overrides # [defaults] # # common options, applied to any filesystem, always merged with specific filesystem type options # defaults=ro # allow=exec,noexec,nodev,nosuid,atime,noatime,nodiratime,ro,rw,sync,dirsync,noload ### Specific filesystem type options # vfat_defaults=uid=$UID,gid=$GID,shortname=mixed,utf8=1,showexec,flush # vfat_allow=uid=$UID,gid=$GID,flush,utf8,shortname,umask,dmask,fmask,codepage,iocharset,usefree,showexec -- ### For the reference, these are the builtin mount options: # [defaults] # allow=exec,noexec,nodev,nosuid,atime,noatime,nodiratime,relatime,strictatime,lazytime,ro,rw,sync,dirsync,noload,acl,nosymfollow # # vfat_defaults=uid=$UID,gid=$GID,shortname=mixed,utf8=1,showexec,flush # vfat_allow=uid=$UID,gid=$GID,flush,utf8,shortname,umask,dmask,fmask,codepage,iocharset,usefree,showexec # does help. This is on Arch Linux, but a config must be available by Xubuntu, too. I don't know if udisks2 interacts with folder permissions of /media/ or umask. I don't know how ntfs (IIUC fuseblk is indirectly for ntfs) is accessed by Linux, since I'm using VMs and wine, no Windows install on bare metal. IOW if a user has got anyway no write permissions by the directory, it might mount read only. I don't think so, but you never know. If it's unwanted that root does access the Windows partition a group "win" might help, but again even root can't access the ntfs partition, if it's mounted read only. FWIW I mount by command line. Gvfs is and empty dummy package on my machine. I've got udisks etc. installed, but I don't use it.
