Yes. (-: These just means that you have mounted with a bad default code page or whatever you want to call it and the ntfs volume contains characters whethe the Unicode (i.e. NTFS) to your code page conversion fails (NLS conversion returns error due to non-existant character in your code page). As the message suggests if you adjust your mount options to include the "nls=utf8" option the errors will go away and everything will work except maybe your terminal/gui may dislay some garbage characters if it does not understand utf8 characters but at least you will see all files/directories. > > Nov 29 23:23:57 hightemple gconfd (root-11625): starting (version > > 2.12.1), pid 11625 user 'root' > > Nov 29 23:23:57 hightemple gconfd (root-11625): Resolved address > > "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only > > configuration source at position 0 > > Nov 29 23:23:57 hightemple gconfd (root-11625): Resolved address > > "xml:readwrite:/root/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at > > position 1 > > Nov 29 23:23:57 hightemple gconfd (root-11625): Resolved address > > "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only > > configuration source at position 2 > > I assume the above isn't kernel-related? Correct. That is just Gnome and in particular gconf stuff (i.e. the Gnome daemon providing access to the Gnome version of the Windows registry)...
