KDE in Trixie: Dolphin configuration to mount NTFS partition missing
The file browser app Dolphin in KDE of Debian Trixie cannot mount
out-of-the-box a NTFS partition because a configuration seems to be missing.
I think I found the missing part of the configuration in this comment of
this bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445468#c11
I followed it:
sudo cp /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf.example \
/etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf
sudo nano /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf
placing in the file the mentioned lines:
[defaults]
ntfs:ntfs3_defaults=uid=$UID,gid=$GID
ntfs:ntfs3_allow=uid=$UID,gid=$GID,umask,dmask,fmask,iocharset,discard,nodiscard,sparse,nosparse,hidden,nohidden,sys_immutable,nosys_immutable,showmeta,noshowmeta,prealloc,noprealloc,hide_dot_files,nohide_dot_files,windows_names,nocase,case
ntfs_drivers=ntfs
These steps appear to have solved that Dolphin : NTFS issue also for me.
Besides not feeling fine if this solution is indeed a valid, maybe even
the recommended solution for Trixie and thus won't break things
somewhere else - which I do not know about, I urgently recommend to have
this, or whatever else might be recommended, configured by default after
a KDE desktop installation to Debian!
Best wishes, and thanks a lot for KDE and for Debian!
