I am using nautilus on Ubuntu 23.10. Whenever I plug in an external drive, it shows up in the sidebar. When I click the name, if the drive is formatted as NTFS, it throws an error with the following text:
Error mounting /dev/sda1 at /media/myself/20A8FDE9A8FDBD7A: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
I have installed nfts-3g and am able to mount the drive manually via
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/my-location.
This works, but I want to be able to correctly mount the NTFS drives using nautilus (i.e. not necessarily doing it manually via terminal). Is there a way to force mount to always run ntfs-3g when mounting NTFS drives (and not whatever it defaults to right now)? I was under the impression that installing ntfs-3g would automatically establish a symbolic link between mount.ntfs and ntfs-3g. Could there be an issue with permissions?
