I have installed ntfsprogs, ntfs-config, ntfs-3g, but whenever I copy something from Kubuntu 12.04 to a ntfs partition or usb memory, y can't open it on Windows (it says the file is either on a location that is not avaivable or doesn't exist. With Kubuntu, I checked the files I copied on ntfs system and all of them have forbidden read/write for others users and group. Only owner can read/write. The thing is that on Kubuntu, those files haver read/write permissions for owner and group. Even files I create or download on kubuntu can't be opened on a ntfs drive, because they end up with forbidden r/w permissions except for owner. I tried to change the permissions but they don't. I change them, accept, but when I check the permission again, the are still the same. I have never experienced this, My last important update was the kernel 3.2.0-30-generic.
Using Dolphin 2.0 on KDE 4.8.4
Any help is appreciated.

Can you please check the mounting options?
This can be done by running 'mount'.

"mount options"
/dev/sda5 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755)
none on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880)
none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/sda1 on /media/Reservado_para_el_sistema type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
/dev/sda2 on /media/sda2 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

Okay, comparing that with the mount line generated for me by SUSE shows quite a few differences.
You may wish to try adding some of the options present on my system.

The most likely relevant one is default_permissions I guess.

Code: Select all

/dev/sda2 on /windows/C type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)

Thank you for your answer but, how do I do this?

This will likely be controlled by a line in /etc/fstab. I suggest you ask on your distributions forum regarding this if you are not comfortable adjusting this file.
