Hey guys
I just did a complete fresh install of archlinux. i must say i was surprised by the arch installation. so much has changed since i used straight arch. i usually use archboot haha, but straight arch has so many new options now
anyway back ontopic
Ive got openbox going, everythings great, its just, thunar cant read my 2 other hard drives. i installed fuse and ntfs-3g, there both ntfs, one is windows 7. and added fuse to the modules load
im not sure what ive missed

What do you mean by "thunar cant read my 2 other hard drives" - any errors? Do you have gvfs installed?
How exactly do you start openbox: 'exec ck-launch-session openbox-session' or somethings else?
How are those drives mounted? Are they mounted at all? Post your fstab and the output of 'mount'.

Thunar the hard drives are not showing on the side panel were they usually are. and there is nothing in the media folder
here is the output of fstab and mount
P.S if i remember correctly from my old installation the hard drives are located at /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, linux/arch is on /dev/sdc

and yes, in the openbox xinitric i have exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session
But i use GDM to login and run openbox. so i dont think the xinitric applys
In my rc.conf in modules i have fuse loading
also when i insert a dvd, nothing comes up in thunar or pcmanfm, seems im missing something that reads hard drives/dvds etc
and dbus, etc all the normal things
I also decided to do a pacman check on dbus, fuse, hal
pacman -Q dbus fuse hal
dbus 1.4.14-1
fuse 2.8.5-1
error: package "hal" not found
im not sure if hals whats missing, but when doing a pacman -S hal. it cant find hal at all. and after reading the archwiki hal is discontinued but as i understand is most people have hal installed with hal in there rc.conf, but i thought fuse replaces hal
i did try yaourt hal. and selecting the hal package number 32, but it failed to build it

Add NTFS partitions to your /etc/fstab as below:
#Entry fof /dev/sdaX
UUID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0X - the number of partition
UUID - it's result of command:
blkid | grep /dev/sdaXYou should create directory /media/windows and become the owner of this directory. After the changes of /etc/fstab are saved, mount your partition NTFS:
mount /dev/sdaXSettings will be taken from /etc/fstab. At the end, you can create a shortcut e.g. to your /home directory:
ln -s /media/windows /home/nankuraLast edited by Fixxer (2011-08-30 09:33:24)

i think ive missed something. i followed your instruction's but everytime i try to mount the hard drives ( there showing up now in thunar at least ) it says it needs permissions
and during boot i noticed mounting extra partitions module fails
