HowTo: Automount NTFS Drives

[invaderchin]

thanks! i had problems on the first attempt bcuz it never appeared on my Applications > System Tools menu. After a reboot, the 2nd attempt was successful!

Ah I believe in Jaunty it moves to System > Administration

I'll have to check later when I'm at home and edit the original post

Thanks Joeb454
much better than manually editing text files.

Works like a charm.

Dude, exposing your public ip like that is just plain dangerous.

My IP's changed since then - but I had realised that at the time. I was just too lazy to change the images

Thanks a lot this worked great, but I wonder if it is possible to have drives showing on my Desktop on boot? Like they did after I mounted them before using ntfs-config...
Thank you for your time!

this is a really clean automount. thanks. was wondering how to do this for a while.
Now I don't have to worry about Exaile crashing when I forget to mount my partition with all my music on it before I open it.

How do you mean? I believe the default nautilus option is to show mounted drives on the desktop - if they're not mounted, they won't show.

That's almost the EXACT same reason I wrote the guide

Joeb454,

Tried your post and it worked perfectly, the firs time! Man, Ubuntu 9.04 is SO cool! The video comes to life in a way the previous versions just didn't have up to steam. Thanks again for your exacting instructions and visuals. Even a chimp should be able to figure this out.

Happily from the branches,
