--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-installer Version: 20121114 Severity: normal Dear Maintainers, While installing Wheezy b4 from USB drive, debian-installer (I think) adds a line to /etc/fstab: /dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 The existence of this line, specifically the 'user' option (I think), prevents mounting of NTFS filesystems by ntfs-3g, which results in a standard ntfs-3g error: """Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at http://tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged""" Reported are other USB mounting issues as well: https://www.google.com/search?q=(debian+OR+ubuntu)+mount+usb0+(ntfs+OR+"")+/etc/fstab The fix is to comment-out or delete the fstab line and let the automounting be done by udev, which is part of base install anyway. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---tags 697985 + moreinfo tags 647406 + wontifx thanks Hi, thank you for submitting bug reports concering debian-installer, much appreciated. I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if - they (finally) indicated success and/or - I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in Wheezy and/or - they only contained very little information and/or - they contained user errors and/or - they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or - they are very old and/or - they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to close wishlist bugs.) If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll do if requested) or just file a new one - and that's often better, as the bug log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft. cheers, Holgersignature.asc
