I am using a dual boot laptop. Primary OS is Ubuntu Intredid Ibex. Out of curiosity, I installed KDE 4.2 today. There was a minor error - GPG key missing - which was overridden after I found solution from a little googling. But now my problem is that, even though Dolphin is listing all of my FAT, NTFS partitions in its side panel, I am not able to mount them.
The error message I get is the following:
An error occurred while accessing 'NEW VOLUME', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always <--(action, result)
Here, the NEW VOLUME may be substituted with partition name like volume (vfat) or volume (ntfs)
How could I solve the error? As I am no geek, please explain step by step.
regards,
Sebin

I read that post; but wasn't able to do accordingly as I could not find the
application PolicyKit-kde either in installed programs or in synaptic.
Also, I am getting another error as i load gedit. I could use the
application perfectly, but the Plasma workspace is crashing. Here is a
screenshot of the error attached.

I don't think ubuntu use policykit by default. I can reprodce the error. I normally mount it in the command line. The problem is with the default security. Only users in the disk group are given access to the drive apart from root.
sudo ntfs-3g -o uid=sebin /dev/sda1 /windows/c
from command line. Then it will work in dolphin.
OR [not recommended, but no commands involved, single step]
If you don't want to use commandline, run (Alt+F2)
sudo dolphin
Click on the partitions. Thats all !!! (Beware you will have to do this every time, and be warned every action you take will be as root, you can delete the entire filesystem with delete key - no turning back).
(If you are OK with this solution, this is all you have to do, skip everything below)
But if you are more adventurous or want to learn how I would do it (also for more control freaks out there, who wants to tweak the last option to the correct value), follow on, [Recommended, lots of steps involved]
The root cause is ntfs is much more secure than vfat and on top of that it is covered with many patents making development of a Free Sofware driver difficult. But we have drivers now, but not integrated with the kernel (the driver in the linux kernel can only read ntfs last time I checked), it uses FUSE.
Install ntfs-3g from synaptic then
or sudo aptitude install ntfs-3g
[I assume the username is sebin, otherwise change it, if you want to give access to more than one user, create a group (say ntfs), add all users which you want to give access to ntfs partition, use gid=groupname instead of uid=username in the commands]
1. Navigate to root folder
right click -> create folder properties -> permissions
make owner and group as sebin (or group as ntfs)
Create as many folders you want depending on the number of partitions you have. Give the same permissions to all directories.
3. Add sebin to group disk (since only root and users in group disk have access to ntfs partitions) (use command line or alt+F2)
sudo usermod -aG disk sebin
(don't know how to do it in gui, the disk group is mysteriously abscent in the groups list) sudo users-admin select groups (see if disk is there)
4. Permit ONLY sebin to run ntfs-3g as root
sudo dolphin
browse to /usr/bin
change group to sebin or ntfs for ntfs-3g (from properties-> permissions)
sudo chown root.sebin $(which ntfs-3g)
chose forbidden for others. In advaced permissions, select set UID root. sudo chmod 4750 $(which ntfs-3g)
Open dolphin normally and click on the partitions (you may not see it after reboot, it would be mounted automatically).
If you don't want to automatically mount use /dev/sda1 /windows ntfs-3g defaults,users,noauto,uid=sebin 0 0
in /etc/fstab
Ask if any step is not clear. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak? (as seen on /.) Join The DRM Elimination Crew Now! http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Anti-DRM-Campaign
Can I suggest a simpler method that could work (it works for my RHEL 5 and Fedora). Add an entry in /etc/fstab for mounting a partition on a directory where you have write access: /dev/sda5 /mnt/d ntfs-3g defaults,umask=000 0 0
/dev/sda5 is my partition and /mnt/d is the mount point. On newer Fedora systems, it's sufficient to use just 'ntfs' and not 'ntfs-3g'.

I am the only user, Thank you.

Here is where, I have some doubts. Should I create the directories by the same name of the partitions or should I use another name (like dir0, dir1, dir2 etc) ? If I should take the same name of the partition, there is a little problem. The names of the partitions are duplicating. There are three partitions by name <Volume (vfat)>, one partition by name <Volume (ntfs)> and another by name <New Volume>
I think, the rest should be done only after covering this far.
Also, I would like to use command line only. So no need to describe the GUI steps.
Thanks and regards, Sebin

That is strange? How did you install kde? (is it official packages?)
what is the output of the following commands (output from my system is shown below)

see the attachment. There group is j4v4m4n. Change that to sebin.

I am copy pasting from your first mail:
Copy and paste the following lines (change device name, shown in the error message)
Now, I have already said that the device names in error message are repeating. There are five drives other than the ubuntu installation drive among which one is "New Volume", one is "Volume (ntfs) and three other drives are carrying the same name "Volume (vfat)". I want to access all these drives. Now instead of "/windows", should I enter "/New Volume" and then repeat the procedure four times to include "/Volume (ntfs)" and thrice "/Volume (vfat)"? The directories, I have created in root as per your instruction is named dir0 to dir4. ie, it does not carry the name of the drives. Also, should /dev/sda1 be unchanged all these times?
Another thing I want to confirm is that, from where should I give instructions in command line, ie, where should I stand?
you have said to go to root. this is how i did it>
sebin@sebin-laptop:~$ cd /root sebin@sebin-laptop:/root$ ls Desktop sebin@sebin-laptop:/root$
Now when I check it in dolhin, I found that, I am standing really at /root/root and not at /root. That is why, only desktop is listed. So how to go to /root?
I tried typing sudo root:
sebin@sebin-laptop:/root$ sudo root [sudo] password for sebin: sudo: root: command not found sebin@sebin-laptop:/root$
I tried with su root:
sebin@sebin-laptop:/root$ su root Password: su: Authentication failure sebin@sebin-laptop:/root$
The password for administrator and user are the same. I haven't changed it. But still, it happens so. Don't know whether I gave the correct command or not. As I am just exploring it without much knowledge in command line, please excuse me for any such mistakes and correct me.
While I checked with the screenshot you have provided, the file ntfs-3g is @ /usr/bin or to be specific, its in root>usr>bin. Am I correct?
But in my system, I haven't found it in /usr/bin. Instead I found it @ /bin or in dolphin, root>bin
So my steps in installing ntfs-3g itself may have been flawed.

Here is the result:
sebin@sebin-laptop:/root$ ls -l /dev/sda1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2009-02-03 16:36 /dev/sda1
how to check, which group is it?

It is official packages. I had kde 4.1 installed in my system. I upgraded it to 4.2 using instuctions found over net.

/dev/<something> is the device name, "New Volume" is the label that dolphin gives.
please give the output of
sudo fdisk -l
Give me the contents of /etc/fstab (the last lines you added)
and giving /windows/dir0 instead of /dir0 in /etc/fstab.

Not needed. '/' is also called root, so it might be confusing. '/' is what is normally called as root. /root is the home directory of the root user.

OK, that is why we gave $(which ntfs-3g)
it will find out the location and use that. (for any command you can give
which <command name>
to find the location of the executable file.

I don't think, ubuntu may be following a different approach.

Click on manage groups. Look for the group disk (you may not see there, I don't see either - but most of the groups in the system is shown there)
The same thing we did with
sudo usermod -aG disk sebin
(we added user 'sebin' to group 'disk' - whereby granting write access to the partitions)
>> > Disk is not here.
>> ls -l /dev/sda1 >> brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2009-02-01 21:09 /dev/sda1
fist character is type of file, in our case 'b' means a block file or a partition. '-' means normal file, 'd' is directory...
rw- means read and write permissions and no execution permission. First 3 is for the owner (in this case root), the second is for group (rw- for members of group 'disk', now sebin is a member and he gets write access to the device/partition).

'root disk' - means owner is root and group is disk.

because KDE is installed in a different place than normally found.
try sudo $(which dolphin)

sudo does not look in /opt/kde-nightly/bin for dolphin, it looks in /usr/bin as is the case normally. I think ubuntu did this to accommodate kde 3 and kde 4 side by side.
So you can give the full path to sudo
sudo /opt/kde-nightly/bin/dolphin
or as I said earlier
sudo $(which dolphin)
in that case you shell (bash) first finds dolphin and give full path to sudo.
That means the command was successfull. You should be all set now.

No problem at all. I hope we will be able to do it more easily in future versions (ntfs support is a very late comer in the scene thanks to MS patents). Since we did not have good write support until recently with ntfs-3g, by default ntfs support is disabled in most distros to prevent data corruption.

An error occurred while accessing 'Volume (vfat)', the system responded: NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sda4': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sda4' doesn't have a valid NTFS.

I did as recommended by Ashik. Now, I am able to access all the drives. But now, another problem surfaces. These drives are now not listed in the side panel of dolphin. Instead i should navigate to root and then click in the newly made directories. Is there a way to place them in the sidepanel so that, I could access the drives directly from there?
Apart from this, there is something else too that i would like to know. In Gnome, I am able to see an icon of a network manager that does the job of automatically connecting to the internet. But if I am logging directly in KDE nightly, the system does not connect to the internet and I do not know from where to find the network manager. As I am really in love with the new KDE interface, this is a bit awkard. Now, what I do to get around is to first login using Gnome which connects to the internet directly and then logout and re-login with KDE nightly. Once, Gnome connect itself to internet, the connection does not cut off and I am able to get it in KDE too.
Thanks for the tips, Praveen A and Ashik S.

I'm using wicd (wicd.sourceforge.net). There is a plasma applet front end for network manager being developed. There is a debian package, don't know the status in ubuntu. I have not used it though.

I just checked the download page of wicd. It says "Please note that this will remove network-manager, which is the default GNOME network manager and may cause loss of network connection temporarily". As I am not completely writing off the use of Gnome, is this advisable? Or is it that, the network manager would only be removed from the KDE and still might be used in Gnome?

wicd is a complete substitute for network manager. It works in gnome, kde and everywhere else. I simply love it. If you don't like you can go back by installing network-manager later.
btw the plasma applet is in playground-base module, which I'm trying to build right now. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?

are you sure you gave the two commands in the same line? That was a shortcut to simplify two commands and not to have the file lying around. It takes the output from first command and pass it to the second command if given in a single line.

gpg keys are used to ensure the authenticity of the packages. You can ignore those if you trust the source and sure no one is trying mischief (some repositories does not give signed packages, be careful with them). But it always good to verify. The next step is the web of trust, physically verify the identity of the owner and sign their gpg keys. Its starts with you trust someone, he trust andother ... and you can trust the chain.
Debian has one of the largest web of trust, with signatures from two existing debian developers being mandatory for a new debian developer. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
