Partition Help query
#1
Following the instructions for mounting a NTFS partition
[/size]
[/size]
Code:
linuxlite@linuxlite-Advent-4211:~$ sudo leafpad /etc/fstab
sudo password for linuxlite:


(leafpad:10484): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/linuxlite/.config/ibus/bus is not root!



looking it up on the Web > Ask Ubuntu


Quote:

Will this prevent me successfully adding
Code:
UUID=01CF855BB41CD3E0 /home/linuxlite/ntfsfiles ntfs defaults,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

to the fstab instructions . I do not get any reports when I "Save & Quit " Leafpad


Must be OK just checked and my Data Partition files have appeared in the ntfsfiles folder


Does the Manual need changing  to avoid confusion ?  Even a Note to say to disregard the **IBUS-WARNING** would allay doubts if the instructions cannot be modified

Hi,

I have seen that...
I think you can see that when you launch GUI type apps.
I read, and ever since used:
Code:
gksu
Either way, you can still edit fstab

I was following the advice given in the LinuxLite Manual >Install>Mounting Drives & Partitions > NTFS and I felt it should be brought to the Manual Writers attention to avoid people thinking they had a problem .
