Hello,
While following this tutorial on a reasonably fresh 7.10 system, i received the following error during the initial creation of an encrypted directory :
Code:
fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
fuse failed. Common problems:
- fuse kernel module not installed (modprobe fuse)
- invalid options -- see usage message
I assume the device, in this instance, is /dev/fuse ; however...
Code:
$ ls -l /dev/fuse
ls: /dev/fuse: No such file or directory
Modprobe should create this device, unfortunately...
Code:
$ sudo modprobe fuse
FATAL: Module fuse not found.
FATAL: Error running install command for fuse
Both fuse-utils and libfuse2 are installed :
Code:
$ dpkg -l | grep fuse
ii fuse-utils 2.7.0-1ubuntu5 Filesystem in USErspace (utilities)
ii libfuse2 2.7.0-1ubuntu5 Filesystem in USErspace library
In case the kernel version is relevant :
Code:
$ cat /etc/issue && uname -a
Ubuntu 7.10 \n \l
Linux sd-11222 2.6.23.10dedibox-r7 #1 Fri Dec 28 00:38:02 CET 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
I'm more than happy to accept any and all ideas on what the problem might be.
