    I have an external USB drive that I had working perfectly fine with my raspberry pi, and now I want to use it with my udoo. I setup an SD card with ubuntu 12.04 on my udoo quad, and now I'm trying to mount the NTFS partitioned drive. I have the following issue:

    Code:
    arjun@udoo:~$ sudo fdisk -l
    
    Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7948 MB, 7948206080 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 966 cylinders, total 15523840 sectors
    Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    Disk identifier: 0x000c356e
    
            Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
    /dev/mmcblk0p1           16065    14201459     7092697+  83  Linux
    Note: sector size is 4096 (not 512)
    
    Disk /dev/sda: 3000.6 GB, 3000558944256 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 45599 cylinders, total 732558336 sectors
    Units = sectors of 1 * 4096 = 4096 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
    Disk identifier: 0x000246c6
    
       Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
    /dev/sda1             256   653442047  2613767168    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
    /dev/sda2       653442048   732558335   316465152    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
    arjun@udoo:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/mybook
    FATAL: Module fuse not found.
    fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
    arjun@udoo:~$ sudo modprobe fuse
    FATAL: Module fuse not found.
    arjun@udoo:~$ sudo apt-get install fuse
    Reading package lists... Done

    fuse is already the newest version.
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 23 not upgraded.
    arjun@udoo:~$
    
    what exactly is fuse and why isn't it working? when I do
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install fuse
    it insists that It is "already the newest version" while
    Code:
    sudo modprobe fuse
    says that it can't find the module "fuse".

    What's going on here?

    FUSE needs to be in the Kernel and it is not... When I have time I'll compile the Kernel with all the necessary modules included in. If someone beats me to it I'll be happy to use it :)

    Thanks! I had the same issue w/ Ubuntu 11 and 12. Ended up using Wheezy and that worked for me. I'd be happy to switch back to Ubuntu though! :D
