Here is the following message i receive in my dmesg :

NTFS-fs error (device hda1): load_system_files(): Volume has unsupported flags set. Mounting read-only. Run chkdsk and mount in Windows.

# dmesg | grep NTFS
NTFS driver 2.1.27 [Flags: R/W MODULE].
NTFS volume version 3.1.
NTFS-fs warning (device hda1): load_system_files(): Unsupported volume flags 0x4000 encountered.
NTFS-fs error (device hda1): load_system_files(): Volume has unsupported flags set. Mounting read-only. Run chkdsk and mount in Windows.

Usually i guess i'd run a ntfs fuse kind of package, but one doesn't exist for x86_64, according to paldo.org. Or i'm not reading their package directory right.

ntfs-3g is only for X86 only and not for X86_64. Take a look at the Package Search.

We have now enabled ntfs-3g in testing on x86_64, too, as the updated version is 64-bit clean. It's still in the build queue, though.

once it's in a queue that i can use, will this package fix my ntfs access via gui problem?

basically, when i navigate to my /mnt/windows directory in a program such as rythymbox, i cannot see my files/directory anything.

However, when i use the command line, i can see all my files and directories etc...

To me this sounds weird, but i wondered if you all have seen such nonsense before?

The possibility to mount devices via fuse - that's what ntfs-3g uses - might be in GNOME 2.20 (sep 07) but is not yet available today.

I haven't seen that problem before. Are you sure that you're looking at /mnt/windows from the command line and from rhythmbox as the same user, i.e. it's not a permission problem?
