Q4OS Aquarius, can't see windows hidden

Q4OS Aquarius, can't see windows hidden and system folders/files, or hidden partition in file managers Dolphin/Konquerer. Show all only un-hides .linux stuff. With Puppy I can get to everything. Can this be changed, if so how?

Q4OS 5.7 Aquarius Plasma/Trinity via windows installer Dec 2024

Hi, you need to edit "/etc/fstab" file and remove "hide_hid_files" option from the ntfs filesystem line.
Next edit "/etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-bottom/z_loopboot2.sh" script and also delete "hide_hid_files" option.
Update initiramfs:
$ sudo update-initramfs -u
Reboot and see hidden ntfs files.

Thank you, did the job.

Thought I had mentioned edit as admin and don't copy the $
Because could not save changes otherwise and $ is the end of the prompt in the Konsole terminal, not what should be run at it. $ is confusing (bash: $: command not found) and redundant. With that in mind, thanks.

It is common usage to show the console prompt $ (or #) to indicate the beginning of a command line to be typed at the console prompt.

$ is a standard user's prompt.
# is root's prompt. (Using $ sudo <command> enables a standard user to execute the <command> as if he was root (i.e. with root's privileges), without the need to switch user to root account and without the risk to continue to work with root account if he forgets to exit.)

You are allowed to edit your posts, however a better way would be create a reply instead editing. In anyway please don't mark your editing as "admin", it's reserved for administrators only.

Thanks hchiper.
Still getting used to interpreting linux speak, and was just trying to point out that "don't copy the $" for those like me who might, or has done. So
$ means open terminal as user and paste in what follows
# means open terminal as root and paste in what follows
more or less, at least if it is at the beginning of a line that appears to be, I believe called, an otherwise executable shell command. It's used as shortcut on typing in what is actually meant.

with "edit as admin and don't copy the $"
I was referring to the file, which needs be be edited as admin, or with other elevated privileges, however not mentioned in instruction. Not that the post was edited. And the idea that copy and paste the command as posted
$ sudo update-initramfs -u
into konsole terminal, is an error, "don't copy the $", also no mention of terminal.

I guess everybody is supposed to already know those things even if they are fairly new to linux.
And the "edit as admin" is illegal, at least without being being specific with the reference. Edit the file as admin.
Or as I did more specifically locate file in konqueror, bring up the context menu on that file,select Actions, select Edit as system administrator.

This is what happens when one assumes the other knows what one is talking about or referring to. both guilty

Also i tend to edit as long as there no replies cause i often see something i want to change or add, even after preview and submit. Just like now, and the "being being" in my previous reply, which i will leave, this time, along with other mistakes yet to be found.

Thanks y'all
