Not sure where to post this, but since it affects applications not being able to write to NTFS partition such as Ktorrent and any for that matter, i’ll post here…
I can’t seem to get NTFS write permissions to work. I can read fine off it, but i can’t write to it.
I followed guides what to install and how to configure but nothing works…
I get this when i run sudo ntfs-config:
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display
warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)

and right click on drive properties, and setting permissions from there doesn’t do anything either, it just resets itself to default after i close properties then nothing happens, still can’t write. I dual boot Windows7 so i need those NTFS partitions since they’re the storage for both Win7 and SUSE…
uname -a
Linux linux-u8ku 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-07-21 02:17:24 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Using openSUSE 11.4 x64 (also, what terminal command to list that? i only remember uname -a, but less important i can google it)
I don’t know what info you may need, so please, if you need anything more, just write what i need to do.
In YaST2 i have ntfs3g, ntfs-config and ntfsprogs installed, as guides said i should…
Doesn’t work though…
What am i missing? Why can’t i write to NTFS? Please, any help would be appretiated.
