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

[ubuntian]

i'm facing a problem when try to mount my USB hardisk:-

nio@niomachine:~$ sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g-nautilus-tools
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ntfs-3g-nautilus-tools: Depends: nautilus-script-manager but it is not installable
Depends: libnotify-bin but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
nio@niomachine:~$

any clues???

You must have universe repository enabled for apt-get to find libnotify-bin dependency.

Seems to be working quite nice

Installed ntfs-3g-monitor and ran it today. Icon back on desktop and all seems to work normally again. Had somehow missed your post #291 the other night, seemed to make more sense of what I needed to do then when I'd rechecked the directions in the first post.

Just want to thank you for all the work and especially the great support you've been providing thruout this thread.

Hello, thanks to this thread, I got ntfs-3g working - with one problem, though:

I cannot access files created under Linux using the 'normal' windows user account (i.e., a non-admin-account).

I have both an admin and an user account on my windowsXP version, but I can only access the files I created under Linux when I'm logged in as windows-admin.
When logged in as normal user, who has no admin rights, I get an "access denied"-error.
That's a pity, because I would like to keep the configuration of a seperate admin account... Has anyone got a clue whats going on here?
Thanks...

Anyone come across my problem, and perhaps solved it?

I believe it says somewhere here that ntfs-3g at this stage doesn't do Windows permissions, and assumes Admin rights. If I remember right, it was recommended to use the options no_def_opts and allow_other:

/dev/xdxx        /media/xdxx      ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,no_def_opts,allow_other 0 0
