5. Testing result :
Since it's a testing repo, i'd like to have some feedback of how it works for you. Especialy, i'd like to know :
- If there were no error during the installation/upgrade. Especialy during the module-assistant step.
- If you get notify by the installer of the need of a new fuse module both via the terminal, and via a notification icone. This is really important for upgrade.
- Obviously, if ntfs-3g work after a reboot.
Thanks For the testing.

Hi Flo,
first of all the message displayed after installing the package points to /usr/share/doc/ntfs-3g/README.debian, but it should be README.Debian. No biggie, but still, newbie users might be confused. Also, I would suggest changing the wording a bit to this:
Code:
Warning : Your current fuse module doesn't support fuseblk which is needed in order to run the latest version of ntfs-3g. You'll need to build a new fuse kernel module. It is provided in the fuse-source package.
Please, have a look at /usr/share/doc/ntfs-3g/README.Debian to find out how to do that.
Then, module-assistant isn't installed by default, and it's not part of build-essential. I would add:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install module-assistant
to the installation steps (or fuse-source could depend on it).
Also, I had installed an older version from one of your repositories (2006-10-31), and after doing the upgrade and running the module-assistant part I still got this error message:
Code:
fusermount: 'fuseblk' support missing; try the kernel module from fuse-2.6.0 or later
Failed to create FUSE mount point: No such file or directory
Retry to create FUSE mount point ...
fusermount: 'fuseblk' support missing; try the kernel module from fuse-2.6.0 or later
Failed to create FUSE mount point: No such file or directory
ERROR: The FUSE kernel module 2.6.x is not available. Either remove the old
FUSE kernel module (use the command 'rmmod fuse') if you have the new
one, or compile the new module from the FUSE-2.6.x source package.
Please see the FUSE README file and the below web page for more help:
http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#fuse26
I had to type:
Code:
sudo rmmod fuse
sudo modprobe fuse
and that installed the new module.
