[Nearly SOLVED] Permissions in Thunar

[Valtam]

When running the live DVD if I open thunar and I click on a partition in the sidebar it opens and displays the contents but after installing on a HDD and I do the same thing it asks for my password.

On other 14.04 distros the partitions are displayed unmounted but when you click on one it just auto mounts and displays the contents so I'm guessing the permissions ain't being set by the installer correctly.

Where are you mounting your partitions? If you mount them in home, they won't need any permissions.

Also as I've mentioned elsewhere the default keyboard is not being set by the installer it remains set as US keyboard. this again doesn't happen with other 14.04 versions.

I've added the UK keyboard and deleted the US one, rebooted and gone into keyboard settings, checked " Use system defaults" and it returns to the US settings.

We have seen your other post. I'm not sure why you're getting that, I have set mine up the same as yours and UK keyboard sticks after reboot no problem. Go through the language guide in the Help Manual slowly and carefully, it does work.

Sorry if I come over as being negative but I feel these points should be addressed.

We don't have ego's here so as long as your criticism is constructive and polite, it will be valued and listened to.

PS
I keep getting emails when I post a PM and I can't find where to turn them off, I've been through every profile option, I don't find the software very intuitive.

I've never looked at that before in my profile and I found it quite intuitive, on the left is Personal Messaging - click on that, then on the right select "Notify by email every time you receive a personal message: Never"
