Greate stuff, worked perfektly here on my Ubuntu Dapper/Win XP installation.
Just 2 points:
My file with the list of locales is not /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local, but /var/lib/locales/supported.d/en And remember that British local is en_GB.utf8
Secondly, I have installed my Thunderbird email to share profile on my XP C driver. I know it says beta on the top, but still. Looks good so far... Is this a very risky strategy?
(Not that the loss of XP is any big disaster in itself. At least as long as I remember to backup my email files from time to time...)
You are not totally right (we don't use all english), but you're also not totally wrong (local don't show you all the possible local you can use). So i think the best is simply to look at 'locale -a' so everybody will be happy. I'll change that. Thanks
I think that we reach a point where i can say 'this is enough safe'. If you see the latest posts, people complain more about my stupidity (building problem ) than about ntfs-3g in iteself.
So it's not not really a risky strategy. Just remember to make some backup sometimes, we never know .

Hello givré, and many thanks for the fast reply....
I think we are getting closer...
So, the next step would be "2. Configuration:" as you described it in your HOWTO ?owner@Owner-Desktop:~$ sudo dpkg -i libntfs-3g_*.deb ntfs-3g*.deb
Selecting previously deselected package libntfs-3g.
(Reading database ... 96341 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libntfs-3g (from libntfs-3g_20070920-BETA-1_amd64.deb) ...
Preparing to replace ntfs-3g 20070920-BETA-1 (using ntfs-3g_20070920-BETA-1_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement ntfs-3g ...

Setting up ntfs-3g (20070920-BETA-1) ...
owner@Owner-Desktop:~$
and then follow the rest of the instructions in your HOWTO?
(givré's HOWTO: NTFS Support)
PS.: Please, can you check if the following is correct and complete
Maybe you will include this in your HOWTO?Building amd64 kernel and install ntfs-3g for NTFS read/write:
- get the needed package :
-get the sources :Code:sudo apt-get install build-essential automake fakeroot debhelper autotools-dev cdbs pkg-config
- build & install fuse for amd64 :Code:sudo apt-get source fuse ntfs-3g
- build & install ntfs-3g for amd64 :Code:cd fuse-2.5.3 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot cd ../ sudo dpkg -i fuse-utils libfuse2 libfuse-dev
- get dependenciesCode:cd ntfs-3g-20070920-BETA dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot cd ../ sudo dpkg-i ntfs-3g
Code:sudo dpkg -i libntfs-3g_*.deb ntfs-3g*.deb

installing ntfs-3g to enable my usb hard drive for writing is the easiest thing I've ever installed or added to my ubuntu.
and the right-click --> mount ntfs-3g / unmount ntfs-3g script is just awesome.
Thanks!!
Thanks to your patience, I'm getting closer and closer....It seems there is only the hurdle of access rights left.
Here is my /etc/fstabThen came to #3 of the HOWTO##/etc/fstab: static file system information.

Here I got these lines prompted:3. Time to start :
If you want to test it right now, just type
sudo umount -a sudo mount -a
The Computer - File Browser shows Icon for User (dev/sdb2)owner@Owner-Desktop:~$ sudo umount -a sudo mount -a

umount: /home: device is busy
umount: /boot: device is busy
umount: /dev: device is busy
umount: /var/run: device is busy
umount: /: device is busy
owner@Owner-Desktop:~$
When I try to mount it I get the message:
Unable to mount the selected volume.
show more details:
mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb2 on /mnt/user
I changed the access rights for /dev/sdb2
owner@Owner-Desktop:/dev$ sudo chmod 777 /dev/sdb2
owner@Owner-Desktop:/dev$ sudo chown 777 /dev/sdb2
owner@Owner-Desktop:/dev$ sudo chgrp 777 /dev/sdb2
And still, I can't mount---see message above.
What do I have to do next?
PS.:
/home/owner/Desktop/Computer.png is a screenshot but I was not able to insert it here!
Can you show me how to insert a screenshot in here?

Wrong, it's two separate command, execute them like that :
No need to do that, it's could even be problematic. I suggest you to reboot (so you also don't anymore need to mount/umount)Code:sudo umount -a sudo mount -a
I'm sure you'll not need to do a screenshot
