The file browser app Dolphin in KDE of Debian Trixie cannot mount out-of-the-box a NTFS partition because a configuration seems to be missing. I think I found the missing part of the configuration in this comment of this bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445468#c11 I followed it: sudo cp /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf.example \ /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf sudo nano /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf placing in the file the mentioned lines: [defaults] ntfs:ntfs3_defaults=uid=$UID,gid=$GID ntfs:ntfs3_allow=uid=$UID,gid=$GID,umask,dmask,fmask,iocharset,discard,nodiscard,sparse,nosparse,hidden,nohidden,sys_immutable,nosys_immutable,showmeta,noshowmeta,prealloc,noprealloc,hide_dot_files,nohide_dot_files,windows_names,nocase,case ntfs_drivers=ntfs These steps appear to have solved that Dolphin : NTFS issue also for me. Besides not feeling fine if this solution is indeed a valid, maybe even the recommended solution for Trixie and thus won't break things somewhere else - which I do not know about, I urgently recommend to have this, or whatever else might be recommended, configured by default after a KDE desktop installation to Debian! Best wishes, and thanks a lot for KDE and for Debian! Marco
