ntfs-3g mount: failed to open /dev/fuse: permission denied

#1 Post by Laxman Neupane »

Hi.

I cannot get access to my external hard disk. It says as in the "SUBJECT" above.

What should I do? I installed Debian XFCE testing. :D

Are you a member of the 'plugdev' group ? If not add yourself:

Code: Select all

useradd -G plugdev <username>
Debian Squeeze + KDE 4.4.4 + AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000 + nVidia GeForce 8600

It says this:

Code: Select all

laxman@debian:~$ su -
Password: 
root@debian:~# useradd -G plugdev laxman
useradd: user 'laxman' already exists
root@debian:~#
I think I am already in it.

What else should I try?

Check you are in the group fuse. If not, add yourself and log out and in again.

Try "id" from your user shell. You could find all your current uid/gid and the groups you are associated

Code: Select all

laxman@lenny:~$ id
uid=1000(laxman) gid=1000(laxman) groups=20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),44(video),46(plugdev),110(netdev),1000(laxman)
laxman@lenny:~$ 

This is what it says. I think there is no "fuse" group there.
