My guess is that you do not have livna installed. The Fedora FAQ assumes that you have livna as a repo and that it is enabled.

Try the following as root (from the SF site):

# gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo

Copy and past the below into that file:

Code:

[livna]
name=Livna for Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=
        http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/
        http://livna.cat.pdx.edu/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/
        http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/livna/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/
        http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/
failovermethod=priority
#mirrorlist=http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist-5
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

# rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

# yum --enablerepo=livna install kmod-ntfs

I have tried this tech also and the kernal has been installed .Please tell me where i will see my Drives.

Linux_Weary · #6 23rd July 2006, 08:03 AM

what is a tech? You have to mount the partition in fstab before you can see it... Did you do a google?

weapon-x · #7 23rd July 2006, 11:09 AM

I think U dont understand. I tell u the whole story that how i have installed FC5.
1.I have 4 partion on my 80 GB HDD.
2. C: Windows NTFS
D; LINUX
E: NTFS
F: NTFS
3. I remove my D: ans make it unpartion .When i install the FC5 I choose the option of USE ALL THE UN-PARTION HDD.
4. FC% is now installed .

NOW i want that is there any way through which i can Access All the NTFS part. While running LINUX...

Yes.
See the previous messages in this thread for instructions.
Read http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html before repeating your question yet another time.

In lInux could you do (as root) a :

# fdisk -l

and post the results here

weapon-x · #10 23rd July 2006, 02:26 PM

Yes ,,
Result :[root@localhost ~]# # fdisk -l
[root@localhost ~]#

jim · #11 23rd July 2006, 02:28 PM

try it without the #

Code:

su -

enter roots password

Code:

fdisk -l

furthermore you do not need the livina repo install to install the ntfs rpm

this is a rather easy process.
1 obtain your running kernel version

Code:

uname -r

2. navigate the the ntfs project site
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/content/view/187/
Select your rpm the MATCHES your kernel version from above

So if you have 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 from the uname -r command then you would select i686 in the same row as that kernel version.
Follow the instructions to download the rpm. Save the RPM to your Desktop

3. Installing

Double Click the Rpm. Enter Roots Password. When prompted to install or not to install because the package is not signed, click install anyway.

4. Create a mount point

Code:

su -   
fdisk -l

will list out the drives

Quote:

fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 4677 37567971 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 4678 9729 40580190 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 4678 7227 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda6 7228 8454 9855846 b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda7 8455 9729 10241406 b W95 FAT32

Disk /dev/hdb: 20.4 GB, 20416757760 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2482 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hdb2 14 2308 18434587+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdb3 2309 2438 1044225 82 Linux swap / Solaris

See /dev/hda1 says NTFS That your C Drive

So as root

Code:

mkdir /media/C-Drive

then mout the drive

Code:

mount /dev/hda1 /media/C-Drive -t ntfs -o umask=0002,nls=utf8

Can,t this be permanent .When I restart i again have to mount the drive

Jongi · #14 31st July 2006, 09:37 AM

If you put the following in your fstab file it should be permanent

Code:

/dev/hda1 /media/C-Drive ntfs umask=0002,nls=utf8

ok, so i can mount my NTFS partition. Right after I do so an explorer like box pops up on my desktop with a message box
that says

"The folder contents could not be displayed."
"You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "share".

It seems when I log in as root, it works fine through the GUI and I can see everything, The problem is only when I am logged in under my other user. How do I change the permissions for that folder to which i mounted the NTFS partition?
