For me, it's working as expected and my ntfs partitions are showing correctly on the desktop. -- +--------------------------------------+ Albert Charron +--------------------------------------+ Linux Counter member #157482 Registered computers: 195048, 361906 +--------------------------------------+ -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> Hello Albert, Did what you said, but still no icon showing. I noticed in the /etc/fstab file that my root, home and swap are identified by a UUID rather than by the usual /dev/sdaX. (or hdaX). Could this be the problem? To be perfectly honest with you I really don't care about having an icon on my desktop, but I would like to know how to do it. Cheers, Michele
