can't mount ntfs partition without root access

whenever try to mount ntfs partition it says

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at http://tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged I tried this answer but it wont work

enter image description here

my etc/fstab file

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

Solution 1:

Can you check the contents of /etc/fstab file ?

As its a very important file, backup it first.

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak

Instead of doing it on command line, do it using GUI tools please check this

http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/how-to-mount-partitions-automatically.html

Note: Its a very important file. Please double check before doing any changes.

Update : Looks like you are not able to change settings with pysdm due to some bug in it - "No matter what I do with pysdm - Mount file system in read-only mode, still remains checked."

This can be fixed by manually editing /etc/fstab file . Changed

/dev/sda1                                  /media/sda1  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,ro,umask=000,user  0  0  

to

/dev/sda1                                  /media/sda1  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,rw,umask=000,user  0  0  

or even

/dev/sda1                                  /media/sda1  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,umask=000,user  0  0  

and rebooted the system.
