Hello. I am using EndeavourOS xfce. I have a problem where I can’t mount external ntfs drives through the thunar side panel. Trying to mount it, I get the error message “message recipient disconnected from message bus without reply.”
I also mounted flash drives not formatted as ntfs and those work fine. As a test I reformatted one as ntfs with gparted and I get the error message when I try to mount it.
Mounting the drives through the terminal works, however.
I’ve been using these drives on EndeavourOS with no problem until recently.
Welcome to the forum!
Could you tell us exactly how (=the exact command of fstab entry or something else) you are mounting the drive?

When I mounted it in the terminal I used “sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt”
OK, thanks.
Can you show the output of command
lsblk -fm

Oh sorry this is an external drive and I didn’t have it plugged in. Here it is again.

Something is wrong with util-linux
and util-linux-libs
, downgrade it and reboot:
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/u/util-linux/util-linux-2.38.1-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/u/util-linux-libs/util-linux-libs-2.38.1-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Thanks, that solved the problem.
thanks stasadev, the solution you provided resolved my issue as well:
Hey folks - for over a year now i’ve had no problem mounting and accessing my bitlocker drives while running endeavouros.
The last couple days i’ve begun to get the following error when trying to mount the drive:
An error occurred while accessing ‘Basic data partition’, the system responded: An unspecified error has occurred: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying
I have another bitlocker drive and I get the same error when trying to mount it.
Also, when I boot into…

Thanks @stasadev
I faced the same issue after today’s upgrade. I was unable access ntfs drives from EOS but did not face any issue while using manjaro. Your solution has solved the issue.
Many Thanks.
On question though. Do I need to hold the package upgrade until the issue is resolved?
@JTF @mr_coolcat @ajaychat3 Welcome
You can also try this method:
I switched from ntfs-3g
to ntfs3
with this suggestion and followed the Arch Wiki instructions.
$ cat /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf
[defaults]
ntfs_defaults=uid=$UID,gid=$GID,prealloc
$ sudo ntfsfix --clear-dirty /dev/sdxX
Everything works with the latest version of util-linux
.
It is not my primary drive, and I rarely use it, so I won’t explore it further. But if you want, you can look for the issue upstream:

Since the last update to version 2.39, I can no longer mount an external hard dr… ive on my Arch Linux system via Dolphin as usual.
A manual mounting of the hard disk was however possible.
The following error message appears:
Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying
A downgrade of util-linux and util-linux-libs to version 2.38.4 fixed the error for the time being.
Please have a look at the discussion in the Arch Linux Forum.

This issue has been fixed with util-linux 2.39-3
and util-linux-libs 2.39-3
, which are now in the repos.
