Ok, I decided to write this - because over the last week or 2 I've been seeing a lot of threads asking how to AutoMount drives in Ubuntu. Most of the time these also happen to be NTFS drives
I know what it's like - I still dual boot too So anyway - here's how to do it the nice easy way
NB: Please note that there are some images attached just for you
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fire up a terminal, to do this click Applications > Accessories > Terminal
Then type (or copy/paste) the following - 1 line at a timeUbuntu 10.10 doesn't come with aptitude installed, so simply run these 2 commands in place of those above.Code:sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install ntfs-configOk so when that returns you to user@pcname, that should be it installedCode:sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
Next, make sure you have NO drives mounted (they'll usually appear on your desktop). And then run the program from Applications > System Tools
Note: In Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) and later it appears that the configuration tool has moved to System > Administration.
Enter your password when prompted - and then choose the drives that you want to be automounted. Click Apply.
Now simply make sure that "Enable Write Support for Internal Drives" and click OK.
Enjoy your automounted NTFS Drives
Note: If you want to undo this for whatever reason, StolenPie posted a walkthrough later in the thread So kudos for that!
