I have experienced a conflict between kdm and ntfs3 which has interfered with opening my ntfs file systems on both my internal and external, Freecom, drives.
This would not appear to be distro related since it has occurred using both PCLinux, basically Mandrake 2007, and Linux Mint, a variant of Ubunto. The version of KDE in use is 3.5 My mobo is an Asus with an NVIDIA chipset, CPU is 64bit Sempron 3000, system has 2Gb ram, (2 sticks operating in dual mode). The bug is repeatable, unfortunately as it occurs every time. Under PCLinux I have not been able to come up with a workaround, similarly with Mint KDE Community Version as both install kdm by default. I have been able to set up KDE under LinuxMint Cassandra by installing all of KDE, except kdm and using the GNOME launcher instead. The result has been that KDE functions perfectly as does ntfs3 with the happy result that I can read and write to my drives. This leads me to conclude that there is a specific issue between the two applications. I should obviously appreciate any feedback particularly a resolution of this issue.
