Ok, the fstab entry is where it's all going awry. When I use the ntfs mount command with my uid or the NTFS gid it'll mount. I just can't get it to mount read/write.
Okay, there's a solution for that, and I will update the HowTo so people don't run into it again.missing libntfs.so.9 errors
First, the Cause: the ntfsprogs-fuse package people were downloading require a ntfs library higher ( v.9 ) than the one avaiable for breezy ( v.5 ) or dapper ( v.8 ).
Now, the Solution: Get the Dapper packages:
libntfs8
ntfsprogs
Before installing those, you'll want to remove the non-working one:
Then, install the two Dapper packages:Code:dpkg --remove ntfsprogs-fuse
Code:dpkg -i libntfs8_1.12.1-1_i386.deb ntfsprogs_1.12.1-1_i386.deb
Please, post your fstab contents, an output of "ls -l /media" (or where the mountpoint is, so we can see the current permissions), and the output of running the command "groups" as your regular user so we can try do identify the issues better.fstab issues

I'm stuck booting into windows for a class, but when I get back on ubuntu I'll try to post all that. Another big thanks for this howto, even if I have to sudo into it, I've been messing with tons of files on my windows partition and it's still running fine.
Here's what ya asked for, hope it can help.
stephen@ubuntu:~$ ls -l /media

First of all, you are not using the ntfs group for controlling the access (which is ok, I'm just checking if you understand that).
The permissions clearly show it was mounted with r/w access for owner and group.When I use the ntfs mount command with my uid or the NTFS gid it'll mount. I just can't get it to mount read/write.
It shows it was mounted with UID:stephen and GID:root (and that differs from what is set on your fstab).
If you try writing a file when logged as user stephen, does it deny access? What kind of error is produced, if any?
( for example, run: dmesg > /media/hda1/my_dmesg_log.txt )
Just as comparison, here is how my ntfs part. is set:
Now, my user is a member of ntfs group, and this gives him full access to the partition.Code:drwxrwx--- 1 root ntfs 12288 2006-03-13 13:07 hda1
I wasn't quite able to get my Windows (C drive to mount. I'll post my fstab and the error later.
I can mount fine as root using ntfsmount but when I try to mount from fstab I get 'mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-fuse''.
any ideas?
Did you include the fuse module on the modules file?Originally Posted by sawjew
Try running "modprobe fuse" and then "mount -a".
I can't think of anything else...
sudo mount -a
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-fuse'
I'm getting this too. I followed the directions correctly, fstab seems to be correct, modprobe didn't help. Ntfsmount as root is succesful
I also tried installing the deb's even though I'm using dapper.
edit: Also my ntfsprogs is version 1.12.1 and according to this page everything should be ok in fstab
