Eek, can anyone help me get that beta driver installed. Launchpad wont let me get the files and the one from the ftp link needs compiling?

Wanted to report back that I did eventually fix this with intrepid (where the problem still existed)

Hmm, i'm having problems with this.

I have Truecrypt 6.1a installed in Ubuntu and Windows

I have installed ext2IFS in windows.

How would I go about this? Do you have to run a checkdisk or the like?

Thanks.

Clarify one point for me. Ext3 will work in windows with the add-on, but have you tried it as a truecrypt encrypted partition?.

I might have to do a trial attempt for myself

Thanks...

Can anyone offer advice on going with ext3 then using the windows ext2 driver to access this when needed. Will this work with the windows truecrypt? I was hoping linux would become my main...

Thanks for the replies so far. Sounds promising. I was sure someone was going to warn me off.

Now I need to go learn Truecrypt under linux. As I remember from a little research I did it was a...

Hello, looking for any help you guys can offer to a relative newcomer.

As a Windows user til now, I've been carrying a portable drive around with a Truecrypt NTFS partition on it. (I sync it at a...

I missed this reply. Thanks!

My problem is now that I do not understand enough about mounting with my few weeks of linux experience. When I have done some reading I am sure your info will prove...

Thanks for the help. However I am unsure if any of these will ensure that any NTFS volume I attach will be read-only by default. Can someone clarify?

OK, I can read up on that. However I would like ALL NTFS partitions to be mounted read only. e.g. when I plug in my USB drive

So Hardy mounts NTFS volumes transparently. I am scared about them being corrupted Am I being overcautious here? Does it use NTFS-3g?

Anyway back to the point: Is there a way to have the volumes...

So. I have been using aptoncd. However the latest CD I created requires the previous one to install. Why might this be? I told my internet connected machine to make an aptonCD and selected all...

This looks like it

Right envyNG? how do I do that without a web connection

Ok, none of that helped (although it did get me nice looking ctrl-alt-f1-f6 on a matrox graphics card in another system

Really, can anyone help?

Found these, looks similar?

Thanks for replying. I would post the xorg. However, two problems.

I had no 'update-ms-fonts' in usr/sbin/
help?

Interesting, so it is hit and miss?

Tried and that is the case here. Worked on the second try

I'll try my home machine again later

On my home machine I have the same problem. There I installed Ubuntu hardy and added Xubuntu via my AptonCD disc. The machine I made the aptonCD disc on works though. Curious

There has just been an update. I can now load XFCE

I also tried
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
but that had no effect, telling me I had the latest version
