HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)

[Seaker]

When I tried installing this in Dapper, I get stuck on the update step. I keep getting errors about binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found. Is there a version of ntfs-3g for the amd64 version of Dapper?

Thanks!

hmm I only had to go 2 pages back to find your answer maybe this issue needs to be posted on the main post in RED and bold?

Thanks, for pointing me in the right direction! I did not see it. Thanks, givré for the highlights. I found your instructions for the AMD64 and now get to try my luck at getting things to compile.

OK, I'm stuck again. I'm still getting 404 errors off flomertens.keo.in. Since I can browse to that location and considering we had to push through a firewall request to get to the default archives, I betting it is a firewall issue.

I noticed that there is a zip of the repo on flomertens.keo.in and I downloaded it. Where should I unzip it to? And how can I tell apt-get where to find it?

Thanks! I appreciate your willingness to help a newbie!

Hum, you mean that :

apt-get source fuse ntfs-3g

give you a 404, but not :

sudo apt-get update

strange. Retry, that should work.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. Here is what I get when I do sudo apt-get update:

Ok, didn't understand where you had the 404.
So, you should remove all line about my repo in your /etc/apt/sources.list, and follow the special instructions for amd64.

Problem here, I can't edit textfiles in a certain directory, it doesn't save. Textfiles like .php and .txt. Edting imagefiles or doc works, other dirs and other partitions work fine. The permissions look the same. It seems to be for 1 directory and all it's subdirectories (/sda4/dutchmega/www/)
