Thx for your reply, but I was referring to the "taskbar thing appears, disappears, then hangs" behavior I described in the OP.

I should also point out that clicking "Check" on the Update Manager triggers that "Starting Administrative Application..." taskbar effect.

Thx for your reply.

First of all, I edited my OP to fix a typo (gksu synaptic).

Then, I REtyped gksu synaptic to see if the behavior I reported in the OP had changed. And, by jing, it had. (I...

Hey peeps. Like the subject says, I can't open Sofware Sources, Synaptic from GNOME and Update Manager hangs when I try to DO anything. I've done a fair bit of searching, but nothing seems to work....

Self-solved.

I can't help you, but I did enjoy learning about Zenity.

I think this forum would be able to help you.

Thank you both for your comments.

ajgreeny's comment forced me to re-examine the permissions I was getting from the Gnome-mounted drive compared to the fstab-mounted drive. They were (except for...

Not really, but I solved my problem another way. Thanks.

I don't think you understand that neither chmod and chown/chgrp address the problem I'm asking... which is how to *MOUNT* the drive correctly.

Thank you for trying to help, but your suggestion is backward and unbelievably slow. It's the incorrect approach for a login automount. You're essentially mounting it in the wrong user context,...

(This is a clarification to a previous question.)

When I mount my NTFS via Gnome, the owner, group and permissions for the mount point are set for *me* (the user doing the mounting), not root.

Giving EVERYONE FULL ACCESS (your reply) is completely different than assigning to the drive my own user privileges.

I'll repost a new thread with a more specific question.

If I use Gnome to mount my NTFS drive, it mounts in /media/{UUID} with my user privileges.

But if I follow all the HOWTOs out there (using /etc/fstab), my NTFS drive is automounted, but with root...

I feel like there's some user/group/mount concepts I need to understand to pull this off:
