The NTFS Write capabilities were removed in Ubuntu 11.10.

Henceforth, I cannot write/delete on my External NTFS hard drive, neither can I on the NTFS partition hosting MS Windows.



I tried to install NTFS-config (and adding the command sudo mkdir -p /etc/hal/fdi/policy to make it work) but before installing it, it asks for removing these packages to resolve dependencies, so what the heck?

Is there any other way to write on NTFS partitions in Ubuntu 11.10? Which can be installed smoothly.

You need ntfs-3g to mount ntfs devices. That said, ntfs-config is only needed to configure ntfs in fstab wich I had problems with in the last upgrade. So install the first one and edit the fstab manually. A normal line to mount a ntfs disk in the boot will look like this in /etc/fstab:



/dev/sda4 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=ca_ES.UTF-8 0 0


Where




  • sda4 is the ntfs partition (the number might change in your case),

  • /media/windows is the directory where you want it mounted (must be created manually) and

  • locale must be your language (mine is catalan) because the system uses for reading the names of files and folders.



In your case i asume must be en_GB or en_US if you're english.



If you skip the fstab edit you can still use the ntfs partition as a user, just mount it by clicking in nautilus. But it will be mounted as user. With the fstab it's mounted by the system itself (with read/write to all so you can store your data, of course).



Wish it helps, good luck!
