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

[givré]

And it stop like that. Strange.
Seeing at the uuid of the device, it seems to be a fat32 one, isn't it ?
What version of pmount do you have :

apt-cache policy pmount

Let see also your ~/.xsession-error

Thanks

this is pretty much the same as before... yes is a vfat usb key, but this behaviour is the same when I mount my ntfs partition or when I insert a cd; the mounting does not show the icon and do not play any actions.

Thanks!

What's happens if you downgrade pmount to the edgy version ?

I've tried but after excluded your repos I'm not able to do the

apt-get install --reinstall pmount

but I get the following output

Reinstallation of pmount is not possible, it cannot be downloaded

I don't know how to use build-dep...

[givré]

Just use synaptic, saearch pmount, select it, <ctrl><E> and choose the edgy version.

I downgrade but I get the same results... maybe a restart of the machine is needed?

Reboot, but no way

Try that.
Also, if it don't work, you might run a full removable device debugging test:

Just post the result there.

Mmm, I did the test (following Dapper session because Edgy is not avail.) but does not seem to me that is useful... anyway I have a suspect upon the mount point that in someways is missing in some conf file, the mount point is in my case /media

Strange LOL
I've installed ivman
I plug the USB key and the USB key is mounted automatically as gnome-volume-manager can do...

[givré]

I've installed ivman [...]

I think i understand nothing
I don't know why gvm fail and not ivman.
Anyway, i resign
