mout ntfs partition from dolphin

English Install/Boot/Login

hi,
when i try to mount a windows ntfs partition directly from dolphin (from the Places in the side pane) i get this error:

An error occurred while accesing 'Local Disk', the system responded:
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy:
org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed
auth_admin_keep_always <-- (action, result)

where Local Disk is the name of the volume i am trying to mount. it worked out of the box in kubuntu so i guess it is just a configuration matter to achieve that, for example adding some lines of text to /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf . I am able to mount this partition manually with this command: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda3 <path_to_the_folder_i_want_to_mount_it>
,but i like mounting directly from dolphin better. i’m using kde4.2 on opensuse 11.1.
any suggestion? thanks

I think if you search these forums you’ll find a number of threads about this. Is your fstab entry correct? And I did notice that your mount syntax uses “ntfs”; that should be “ntfs-3g”.
