apt-get intall ntfs-3g Errs out from ports.ubuntu.com

[bfmorgan]

Needs some help,
  When installing ntfs-3g it errs because the version of ibfuse2_2.7.4-1.1ubuntu3_armel.deb, among others. is not on this ports.ubunto.com.
 
  I new to ubunto (apt-get) and can't seem to find a site that has the correct version or know how to override dependancies in apt-get installs.

  Any help for the newb would be appreciated.

Answered my own question... Run apt-get update the apt-get install ntfs-3g

Hope this helps some other newb

OK, more issues.

After what appeared to be a successful install I try mounting the drive

root@SheevaPlug:/etc/apt# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/windows
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.22.18/modules.dep: No such file or directory
fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
root@SheevaPlug:/etc/apt# modprobe fuse
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.22.18/modules.dep: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

Ok, I created /lib/modules/2.6.22.18/. Then when I apt-get install ntfs-3g I get:

So, it appears that udev is not running. udev is beyond my level of expertise...Any help?

bfmorgan,

did you actually get this to work ? I would like to mount an NTFS drive.

I have no idea how to start with. I am not even sure if my USB drive is properly working (since it is a buspowered drive(recent one)).

Kind regards,

Luke

Luke,
  I loaded the latest kernel from cbxbiker61 at http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/. This has the ntfs capability.

Hope this helps,
