[SOLVED] Can't mount partitions

Hi All,
I am facing another issue with Salix 14.1 KDE 32 bit: can't mount partitions.
I have been creating directories under /mnt and adding lines to /etc/fstab, still not working after reboot.
Maybe needing to add the same lines to /etc/mtab?
I did'nt try it because facing another annoying problem: can't copy & paste over the terminal using "nano" (Kate and Kwrite don't work too).
Any suggestion?
This is the /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda5 / ext4 defaults 1 1
/dev/sdb1 /fat-c ntfs-3g fmask=111,dmask=000 1 0
#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro,comment=x-gvfs-show 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users,rw,umask=00 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
UUID=8f3e261a-f3ba-41bc-8ab5-62fc05530d17 /mnt/Ubuntu ext4 users,rw,utf8,shortname=mixed umask=000 0 0
UUID=bd73cc02-4ba9-4708-b791-1b7f8748c900 /mnt/Sabayon ext4 users,rw,utf8,shortname=mixed umask=000 0 0
UUID=ffa5f7f6-3086-4860-af80-a9c5d679ab6e /mnt/CLD-14 ext4 users,rw,utf8,shortname=mixed umask=000 0 0
UUID=fa0a03a2-fac5-4f75-a438-4bf670829aed /mnt/Zorin ext4 users,rw,utf8,shortname=mixed umask=000 0 0
This is /etc/mtab:
/dev/sda5 / ext4 rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /fat-c fuseblk rw,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /media/VERBATIM vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=100,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks 0 0
Best Regards
Edit
Ok, I discovered "mtab" is not involved. I mean don't need to copy the lines over there because rebooting the original one born again
I have been changed the "UUID" with "/dev/sdax" to "fstab" without getting nothing

Do not put entries to mount partitions in /etc/fstab
KDE does it through dolphin automatically asking for password (using sudo)

You're missing commas before umask.

@Djemos: - Hi! - Yes, the point is that Dolphin does'nt accept the password when the window comes out (sudo is not activate, I have been upgrading from 14.0, still using "su"). that's why I'm trying to sort out using that trick.
@Gapan: - Hi! - Thank you
I modified the lines (hereby quoted the last attempt) but something still wrong, comes out in Dolphin the voice to mount in another window but mounting the position comes out empty.
Starting Salix I read the warning talking about error but is scrolling too fast, just got the suggestion to try the command "dsmeg|tail"; it doesn't work, "bash does'nt reconnaize the command".

If you want to mount with dolphin remove them from fstab. If they are in fstab, you can only mount manually from a terminal with the mount command (and sudo).

I did, cancelled the added lines to "fstab" and cancelled the folders under "mtn"; Dolphin mounts in new window but comes out empty.

To enable sudo on KDE read this

....maybe I miss something. Have been following the instructions:
- Adding the user to "sudoers" group (was already in the group "wheel").
After that:
- sudo sed -i "s/AdminIdentities=.*/AdminIdentities=unix-group:wheel/g" /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/50-localauthority.conf
- /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/50-localauthority.conf # was already there
- Installed
http://people.salixos.org/djemos/salix/ ... ch-1dj.txz
- ~/.kde/share/config/kdesurc # is there
- Reboot
Still the authentication fails.
