Can't continie d/l in Ubuntu

[mynogan]

I'm running Deluge in both WinXP and Ubuntu 7.10 (both the latest versions).
When I tried to continue a download which was started in WinXP in Ubuntu, I received a write error that says it can't open the file.
Deluge hash checks the file OK, but when the status changes from "checking" to "downloading" the error message appears.
The Deluge settings are the same in both --- including both full allocation.

check your permissions. you probably dont have write access from linux. `ls -l`

Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) should automatically setup your NTFS drives with NTFS-3G which gives you write permission.

if you do the command markybob posted you should get root & plugdev as owners.

otherwise if you don't you may have to install ntfs-config via

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

and then configure your drives via

Code: Select all

gksu ntfs-config

Thanks! I needed to change the ownership and permissions. It was a bit tricky as the file is in a folder whose name contained spaces and parentheses like

Abcd Xyz (2007-12-28).

Just didn't know how to get into the folder in Terminal.
Finally copied the file out through the the Shared folders via Windows and that did the trick.
