Using Jaunty kernel 2.6.27-7 64 bit with latest updates (but not Alpha1).
I'm able to access any ext3 and FAT32 partitions on my PC, but when I try to access NTFS partitions I get an error.
If I go to Places-Computer and select an NTFS drive I get "Cannot mount volume. Unable to mount the volume 'Data Drive'. Details Cannot get volume.fstype.alternative" followed by "Opening "Data Drive"" and then "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
If I go to Places-Removable Media I get the first and last message but no "Opening "Data Drive".
This error occurs on all three of my NTFS partitions.
My ntfs drive files are as follows:
dpkg -l | grep ntfs
ii libntfs-3g28 1:1.2506-1ubuntu2 ntfs-3g filesystem in userspace (FUSE) libra
ii libntfs-3g31 1:1.2531-1.1ubuntu1 ntfs-3g filesystem in userspace (FUSE) libra
ii ntfs-3g 1:1.2531-1.1ubuntu1 read-write NTFS driver for FUSE

I include my .xsession-errors file as they seems to be problems reported there.
