Bug Description

I got my wife a Canon SX610 HS camera for xmas. Alas, whenever she
puts its SD card into our Ubuntu 16.04 computer to look at the pictures,
she gets the error

Unable to access "209 GB Volume"
Error mounting /dev/sdb2 at /media/zilf/902C022F2C021140: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1003,gid=1003" "/dev/sdb2" "/media/zilf/902C022F2C021140"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb2': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume
read-only with the 'ro' mount option.

Nautilus should do the mount readonly rather than throwing an error.
(Yeah, she won't be able to delete photos, but at least she'd be able to see them.)

(This is related to bug 1362840, but that one is really Windows; this is a camera.)

Hah. I watched her do it. She inserted the SD card, then clicked on the dual boot Windows drive.

So this is both a UX problem (user couldn't tell how to access an SD card)
and a duplicate of bug 1362840.

closing then since it's an user error, the windows/hibernate issue is already reported
