    How to mount drive from within application ???

    I installed recently realplayer, but I am not able to mount drive using the file open menu. Gnome-mplayer is able to mount drives and is using the same browser window.
    I am getting this error message:

    Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
    Error opening '/dev/sda5': Permission denied
    Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Permission denied
    Please check '/dev/sda5' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,
    and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at

    What are the entries for /dev/sda5 in /etc/fstab (and, eventually, /etc/mtab)?

    It would seem that you're after something on an NTFS partition, possibly even causing an attempted mount read-write. Perhaps the better solution would be to copy the file to another medium (flash?) or partition. I'd be curious to know the result!

    Cheers!

    Yes, it is only with ntfs partitions. Pcmanfm mounts them just fine, but I can't mount through application. VFAT works though. I can mount VFAT using file open in any application.
