Linux not allowing to READ/WRITE files on another partition

Unable to delete/write files to another partitions

Recently I installed Linux on my old laptop which was running Windows 10. Every thing went well as expected. But after a while I realized that I was unable to write or delete files from second partition.
So, today I will be telling you how to fix such issues. (This fix also works on if you are getting error while mounting your partition "The disk contains an unclean file system")

Open up your terminal and execute the following command

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXY
where XY is the partition

(For Eg:- sda2 or sdb2)

You can list your following partitions by executing following commmand

lsblk

Then mount the partition with the following command

sudo mount -o rw /dev/sdXY

Though most of the distributions don't face this kind's of problem. But, some of the distributions still face such kind of problems. NVIDIA This isn’t the only solution for NVIDIA, and there are certainly situations that it doesn’t apply to, but it’s one of the better options, and it doesn’t rely on NVIDIA’s graphical utility that doesn’t always play nice with desktop environment configurations. To start, you’ll need to enable setting for the NVIDIA DRM module (modsetting). Start by making a configuration file in the modprobe directory. sudo touch / etc / modprobe.d / nvidia-nomodset.conf Open that file with your favorite text editor, and insert the following line: options nvidia-drm modset = 1 Update your kernel’s initramfs to apply your change. sudo update-initramfs -u When ...
