Another frequent question is “Is there an open source Chrome browser for Ubuntu?”.

A common inquiry we ran across in our research was “Can I install Google Chrome on Ubuntu?”.

What file system does Ubuntu run on?
Ubuntu is capable of reading and writing files stored on Windows formatted partitions. These partitions are normally formatted with NTFS, but are sometimes formatted with FAT32. You will also see FAT16 on other devices. Ubuntu will show files and folders in NTFS/FAT32 filesystems which are hidden in Windows.
Can Ubuntu read and write to NTFS partition?
Ubuntu can certainly read and write files in an NTFS partition. The data partition needs to be mounted. This can be done automatically on bootup by modifying the file system table (/etc/fstab). Ubuntu will just present those drives on the Panel, and Kubuntu – in Dolphin Device list.
Ubuntu can natively access to a NTFS partition. However, you may not be able to set permissions on it using ‘chmod’ or ‘chown’. Can I access NTFS from Ubuntu? The userspace ntfs-3g driver now allows Linux-based systems to read from and write to NTFS formatted partitions.
This begs the inquiry “Why can’t I mount NTFS on Ubuntu?”
Filesystems occasionally become damaged. Power outages, bugs, system crashes, and other conditions can cause this to happen. When Ubuntu encounters a damaged NTFS volume, Ubuntu will refuse to mount it. Thus, on an Ubuntu-only system, using NTFS on an internal disk is a problem waiting to happen.
