I have two other partitions formated in fat32 and ntfs file system. Here's the fdisk -l output
Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

On file manager, when I click on sda2 or sda6 to mount, I get two pop ups one after another.
pop up (a) that says authenticate, however doesn't give the fields to enter the root password. In a fraction of a second, the content changes to this.
Then pop up (b) appears saying "Failed to mount [devicename]. Not authorized to perform operation."

Hello petertohen, welcome to the forums
Have you changed the file manager?
Our stock set up should allow users to mount internal partitions without a password.
Can we please see the full output of this command:
apt-cache policy

Why is sda1 and sda2 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
Is that the the microsoft windows partitions? Is this dual boot?
I did a quick google search and found this https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … -hpfs-ntfs
What do you think on that scenario in link Hoas?
Or perhaps the ntfs-3g package is not installed which i highly doubt?

I've edited the subject title. Please use meaningful titles to aid search engines and users, 'help me' tells us nothing.
I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

Looks like Peter's long gone, this is something it's likely just better to take up with google or x-search engine of choice. Though use gksudo ie: "gksudo thunar" or whichever file-manager you prefer. Do it(mount them)manually via cli in terminal. Mount them automatically if appropriate for your usage in /etc/fstab, whichever you prefer. Again .. rather than reinventing the wheel, hit up your preferred search. No shortage of info about this covered to hades and gone on the webz.

Though also, surprised BL doesn't automagically allow this, already come with all required packages etc. So does make someone wonder which OS's you're using there. Anyway, still 10-15mins buddying up with any decent search engine will supply all the info on this topic, anyone should likely ever need.

@ Bliz, I prefer to use udevil to mount drives myself, less bloat imo and a safer/secure option imo.

^ Nothing wrong with somebody doing it the way they prefer. For sure one thing gnu/Linux doesn't have ... a shortage of options and thank goodness for it!

BunsenLabs should be able to automount pretty much anything except the latest Apple & Android devices, I suspect that the OP's system is misconfigured.

^+1 or perhaps not even BL, not that it'd be all that big a deal. As people here, yourself included would be happy to help someone with anything gnu/Linux or Os's/software period. Junk like how simple a self-solved issue this is and what hhh said, the "help me" title put me off immediately. Started to post, thought better of it a bunch of times. Seems OP is likely long gone now and went ahead and babbled some for posterity.
Am going to continue assuming that a "gksudo filemanager" in run dialogue or "gksudo filemanager &exit" in terminal would've done it, provided the packages needed to deal with that type of file-system were installed. Again though, I don't feel it's unreasonable to expect some effort on the part of xyz-person before they resort to asking others for help, not trying to be a cyber-ahole, not trying to be a cyber-support sucker either. If someone can't take 3mins to use a search engine. Can't read the what/how to post to get help and follow it thingy.
Kind of the why should I try to help you, when you/they obviously won't try to help yourself/themselves and won't help me or anybody else try to help either ? By providing reasonable amounts of basic information and responses to people who took their time to try. Nope solve my problem for me and I'm gone without so much as a how you do or thanks ? Yep, maybe it's overly anal to expect these things but what makes the person seeking help's time more valueable than those trying to give it, without so much as a thanks for trying fella's or response.
This is stupid and/or anal still though, way I've come to feel about things like this. Have been, still am SERIOUSLY tempted to sigline a link to the infamous, "here lemme google that for you" link, shrugs.

Actually, no.
Also, running a graphical file manager as root is a really bad idea, did you not spot thunar's warning?

Have done it countless times, zero problems. Though could and did supply many alternatives, as did others. What works, works ... did not say it's the best, nor the only way, as again ... In this type of thing, likely to have many, many ways to achieve xyz-endgoal. All readily available via any type of search-engine fu. Ah ... not here to argue, just cause I know one or more answers to solve xyz-persons problems, by no means, means I have to bother typing it out for them.
Like anything there are in my view basic netiquette practices. Violate these, fine ... just don't expect me to feel in any way compelled to google for you nor share easy solutions either etc. SHRUGS.

Yes and I understand that some people visit sub-Saharan Africa and don't catch Malaria so no need to bother with all those shots, eh?
The plural of anecdote is not evidence
^ Hey look I can do pointless quoting too
The one thing you seem to fail to recognise in our little exchanges is that I am always mindful of the fact that there are people who are using BunsenLabs for important things and they are relying on the development team (of which I am a member) to offer appropriate advice in respect of system administration.
So while you are free to suggest that people take risks with their installations I have to be somewhat more circumspect.
I do appreciate that this will make me appear to be a sanctimonious w**ker but I don't care

sub-Saharan Africa, wait ... what ?

Yes, sorry about that, my Medical School education was _many_ years ago now and that phrase was (unfortunately) still in common usage back then.
My apologies to any who are offended by the term.

Am messing around and being a dork Hoas. Hopefully nobody could possibly be offended and agree with you in that, routinely mounting a shared partition with gksu/do wouldn't be an ideal way someone would want to go about it.
