This is build 7, which should be VERY similar to the final version.

I tested this, and after installation, firefox did not even start. Does anyone recognize this?

Try

LANG=C sudo aptitude install ntfs-config

Ok, found a workaround in

Seems removing

I've added the debug output to this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-mount/+bug/103467

It's against gnome-mount. But I'm considering adding nm to that bug as well, or maybe...

Yes, I see nm in the logs, but *WTF* does it have to do with removable media?

(Please realize this is directed at nm, not you...)

What package would that be, do you think?

This is what I get


Apr 27 00:24:58 daneel ntfs-3g[9122]: Unmounting /dev/sdb1 (WD Passport)

Well, as the process is the NTFS-3G mount process itself, this process is probably the one implementing NTFS through FUSE. So I don't think this is the problem - I think it's perfectly normal.

I have the same issue with an external NTFS USB drive, that gives errors when unmounted and then immediately remounts.



Why? A manual umount works fine. And, if I look at the output of "mount"...

I'm running pure feisty now (no extra sources), and it works well....

D-O-N-T!

Be glad you cannot. I have done a similar thing with a FAT32 partition, and it predictably corrupts your file system...

This is not a bug that can be worked around at all. Think about...

Thanks, givré! I now understand much better. Is there a timeframe for fuse 2.6? And did you have more questions for me or did you answer them all yourself? :-)

Hi!

I'm also on feisty, and while pmount works, automatic mounting exhibits two errors:

1) The charset on the drive is wrong. I suppose this might be a gnome-mount issue, so I filed:...

I've seen similar things for 1GB-files, from ext2 -> ntfs-3g. Not every time, but sometimes. Might have been fixed after loading the disk in Windows a few times.

That's about 10Mb/s, I don't think that's unreasonable.

Ah, ok, missed that one. Unfortunately installing the givre version breaks gnome-volume-manager:

gnome-volume-manager: Depends: hal (>= 0.5.7.1-0ubuntu4) but 0.5.7-1ubuntu19givre1 is to be...

I had this on Edgy, which has a newer pmount. If you run edgy, try:

sudo aptitude install pmount=0.9.11-1ubuntu2givre5

which will installed the patched pmount.

For me, that makes the error...

Givré: The patched pmount is at version 0.9.11, but the version of pmount in edgy is 0.9.13 - any change of edgy packages, or alternatively integrating your patch into the edgy release? Or just...

Yes I will, but where do I file it?

It seems /bin/sh does not do tilde expansion after doing variable substitution...

Changing /bin/sh to /bin/bash on line 1 does the trick.

I just installed this, and while it seems mounting manually works fine, the nautilus scripts end up in:

$HOME/~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/

i.e. a directory named literally '~' is created.

You are also forgetting the security aspects. Remember when recently Windows was hit by a zlib vulnerability? More or less *all* apps using zlib needed to be updated separately. For quite a number of...
