Congratulations, givré! =D>
Great job with that! I mean, to make a solid stable driver is one thing, but to make it cooperate with all the other various pieces of software is at least equally important. You did extraordinarily well in my opinion, especially with HAL and stuff to get rid of the as-you-call-it "pretty bad hack" and to do it the right way, many people would not care that much for such problems.
So, to make it clear, what you say is that to get the "correct" HAL patch, we are supposed to wait until you update the repos and then install the updates?
Anyway, good luck with Edgy, I wish you made it to the official repos! The driver seems to be performing extremely well, so it would be a deserved satisfaction 8)
Ok, there is some issue that need to be solve (if you follow the hal mailing list, you'll understand). So i'll not make the change today, but more probably this weekend, or the following monday.
Hang on
Zizi, don't forget to thanks Szaka (szaka AT sienet DOT hu) the author of the driver
For the update, all will be explain here. I don't want anymore that my version of hal & pmount get install by default, so i'll put all that in on other channel (main-all). The only things you'll have to do is to add 'main-all' to my repo line, just like when you add 'universe' or 'multiverse' to the official repo.
Unfortunately, we'll not have the patched version for edgy, too much issue that need some change, and not enough time before RC freeze (in few days), but that will be a goal of edgy+1.

I need some help. I loaded ntfs-3g and got it to work perfectly. All of my ntfs drives showed up on the desktop and I had read/write access to them. I shutdown the computer for a few days and booted it back up last night. Now the ntfs drives won't mount. When I tried to mount all the drives with "sudo mount -a" or individually mount the drives I would get a chkdsk message in the command prompt window. What can I do to make this work? I don't want to convert the ntfs drives to fat32 and my kids want the windows programs.

I did follow the instructions and it worked fine until I logged out and logged back in. What could cause this and how do I fix it?
login ? you mean poweroff and reboot i suppose, login & logout don't unmount partition.
There is multiple cause for that :
- You leave windows in hibernation or in suspend
- You didn't unmount cleanly the partition (hard reboot...)
- Probably more, but all related to an unclean unmount.

Hi all,
I've followed all the steps listed here, and it's all gone perfectly with the exception of actually mounting my secondary NTFS disk.
The drive is /dev/hdb2, and I've got it set up in my fstab as: /dev/hdb2 /mnt/stuff ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0. The directory /mnt/stuff exists, and is 777 in permissions.
However, when I go to mount -a I get:
I've tried mounting the drive as read-only, and then mounting, same problem. It's not connected to Windows at all (it's NTFS formatted, but there are no Windows files on this disk. Just a secondary storage drive).Code:Failed to mount '/dev/hdb2': Operation not supported Mount is denied because the NTFS journal file is unclean. Choices are: A) Shutdown Windows properly. B.) Click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows taskbar notification area before disconnecting the device. C) Use 'Eject' from Windows Explorer to safely remove the device. D) If you ran chkdsk previously then boot Windows again which will automatically initialize the journal. E) Run 'ntfsfix' on Linux which will reset the NTFS journal. F) Mount the volume read-only by using the 'ro' mount option.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
-Matt.
This has nothing to do with some windows file. Your partition is unclean because of one of the reason mention just before :
So just follow the instructions.- You leave windows in hibernation or in suspend
- You didn't unmount cleanly the partition (hard reboot...)
- Probably more, but all related to an unclean unmount.
