Package: ntfs-3g Version: 1:2017.3.23-2 Severity: normal Dear Laszlo,
Thank you for maintaining and updating ntfs-3g. To help out in some scenarios with students, made the systems dual-boot. The scenario is an MS-Windows 10 partitions and ext4 parititons as can be envisisioned as below - $ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 3.7 TiB, 4000787030016 bytes, 7814037168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 1023999 1021952 499M Windows recovery environment /dev/sda2 1024000 1228799 204800 100M EFI System /dev/sda3 1228800 1261567 32768 16M Microsoft reserved /dev/sda4 1261568 3718037503 3716775936 1.7T Microsoft basic data /dev/sda5 3718037504 3843037183 124999680 59.6G Linux swap /dev/sda6 3843037184 3844990975 1953792 954M Linux filesystem /dev/sda7 3844990976 5212178431 1367187456 651.9G Linux filesystem /dev/sda8 5212178432 7814035455 2601857024 1.2T Linux filesystem While I'm not sure of the MS-Windows build on the students systems, it definitely was one of the recentish redstone builds. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3118132/microsoft-windows/windows-10-redstone-a-guide-to-the-builds.html I had received complaints that even after installing ntfs-3g it didn't lead them to being able to view/use MS-Windows partitions. I checked it out myself and for sure all I got was “No object for D-Bus interface” in caja. I am/was running mate and saw the same thing in caja. A little bit of searching led me to https://askubuntu.com/questions/627621/no-object-for-d-bus-interface-when-mounting-with-nautilus I saw that for some reason gvfs-fuse was not installed. Looking at ntfs-3g saw that there is nothing in depends and no recommends or even suggests to tell that you need the virtual file system in order to see, write, copy etc. on the ntfs partitions by a user. FWIW, I had rebooted after installing ntfs-3g and still got no partitions and another after which I installed gvfs . For safety purposes, I also killed and relaunched the daemon before rebooting as shared in https://askubuntu.com/questions/627621/no-object-for-d-bus-interface-when-mounting-with-nautilus/993314#993314 And lo-behold was able to play with the ntfs partitions as before. If need be, I can do some experiments on it if you need some more info. or want me to try some other ways. Doing bit of experimentation on led me to this - /dev/sda4 on /media/shirish/xxxxxxxxxx type fuseblk (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2) Let me know if I can be of any help. And btw could you whenever you push the next update, could you give a better link to tuxera as in https://www.tuxera.com/community/open-source-ntfs-3g/ or rather https://www.tuxera.com/community/open-source-ntfs-3g/#tab-1414502534642-3-2 specifically in the manpage as it still shows the old vagueish link. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (100, 'experimental'), (100, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IN:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages ntfs-3g depends on: ii fuse 2.9.7-1 ii libc6 2.27-2 ii libgcrypt20 1.8.1-4 ii libgnutls30 3.5.18-1 ii libgpg-error0 1.27-6 ii libntfs-3g88 1:2017.3.23-2 ntfs-3g recommends no packages. ntfs-3g suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
