CAPTIVE-NTFS WORKING

Requisites: 1.Linux kernel headers for your current linux version if you don't know yours type (uname -a) 2.Module-assistant 3.Gcc 3.4 4.Lufs-source 5.Captive-static from http://www.kruyt.org/?sub_item=46

Actions: 1.Run module-assistant with root privilegies 2.choose PREPARE 3.select lufs from the list 4.build and install it

If you get an error doing /usr/share/lufs/prepmod , like kill_proc_info not found, follow these steps to fix the source code. This is a workaround: kill_proc_info is not exported in 2.6.10 kernels.

Originally Posted by Hairy_PalmsBR ive found a workaround for this, the problem is that from the 2.6.10 kernal onwards it doesnt declare kill_proc_info ive made it work on my machine by doing thisBR 1. install captiveBR 2. run /usr/share/lufs/prepmodBR 3. open /usr/share/lufs/prepmod/2.6/inode.cBR 4. look for a line that says "kill_proc_info(SIGUSR1, &info, GET_INFO(sb)->server_pid);" and change it to say kill_proc(SIGUSR1, &info, GET_INFO(sb)->server_pid);BR now if u run prepmod you can mount and read/write ntfs partitions

PINNACLE PCTV USB2 SUPPORT I know there's a video4linux2 driver in development.At the moment it supports the device but only in some features.
