Anyone know how to enable windows_names option in ntfs-3g (NO FSTAB!!)

Hey ho, I just found out about ntfs-3g's windows_names option, which prevents ntfs-3g creating files with names that the windows don't like (which should be default, of course).  Anyway, anyone know how I can enable this option without using fstab, a file which causes me to develop a rash all over my body just thinking about it?
Cheers!

Oh...(goes off to learn in-depth workings of how disk mounting is handled in linux...)
Okay, here's what I learned, maybe:
(i) Devices in Linux used to  be managed by HAL, which is now dead (or at least, everyone seems to want it dead)
(ii)  HAL is now superceded by DeviceKit, a supposedly better device manager.  It had something called devicekit-disks (which is now called udisks)
(iii) UDev is, uh, also a device manager...it probably handles other stuff than udisks.  Or maybe udisks is part of a udev "package" or something?
(iv) Pacman tells me I have both udev and udisks installed.
(v) I have not the slightest clue, really, how disks are mounted on my computer.
(vi) Still less do I have any idea how to achieve what I want without using fstab.
(vii) I think I'll use fstab...

  • HT204060 Set how long after sleep a passcode is required - I am trying to change this but the only option I see is "immediately"...Does anyone know how to see more options?

    I am trying to change how long after sleep a passcode is required, but the only option I see is "immediately"...Does anyone know how to see more options?

    Thanks for the help guys. Disabling Touch ID allows me to see other options...Although I don't understand why Apple would feel the need to put that restriction in place. Doesn't seem to be any sense behind it..

  • HT3986 Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard? Many Thanks

    Hi All
    Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard - the standard wired apple keyboard works fine via this key but not the new wireless keyboard?
    Many Thanks

    Holy crap, this fixes the issue.  At least temporarily it has.  I should add that my issue was single finger forward/back swipe stopped working on the magic mouse in Firefox since Mavericks came along.  I have been fighting this since I upgraded to Mavericks a few months ago.  Thank you, tbirdvet.  You have no idea how much easier you just made using my iMac again.

  • Does anyone know how to enable/disable a dropdown menu in Forms at runtime?

    Is there a way how to disable/enable dropdown menu for menus that have multiple sub levels in Oracle Forms? I am trying to use the set_menu_item_property function but this takes 'menu.item' format for the first argument. I am trying to enable/disable a menu item in the form of 'menu.item.subitem' and was not able to do it using this function. If anyone knows a different function or method, please reply. I have shown an example below.
    Setup -> Software -> Front Page
    From the above example, I can enable/disable Software using set_menu_item_property function. But, how do I enable/disable the Front Page menu in Oracle forms at runtime?
    Thanks
    Edited by: user480347 on Aug 24, 2010 3:37 PM

    Yes you are on the right track. You need to pass then complete menu name to set_menu_item_property
    Immediate_parent menu.item_name e.g
    For example you have menu like this
    Id like
    A1    A10 > A1010
    Home > Input > Form 1
    A1    A10 > A1020
    Home > Input > Form 2 To disable Form 2 you must pass menu name as
    A10.A1020Hope it helps

  • Anyone knows how to enable the multi-touch gesture on ipad2 or any update how

    Help pls.

    It costs US$5, but I did it yesterday and it requires a Mac.
    On a Mac open the Mac App Store and buy Xcode. After the Xcode installer has completely downloaded run it and install Xcode on your Mac. Open Xcode and attach your iPad. Xcode gives you the option to use the iPad for iOS development. Enable that and the Multitasking Gestures will be available to turn on in Settings/General on your iPad.
    There are 3 gestures.
    Use four ot five fingers to;
    • Pinch for Home screen
    • Swipe up & down for revealing & hiding the multitasking bar
    • Swipe left or right to go between open apps
    If you have a PC there is a way to activate it for free. It involves adding a line to a preference file in the iPad's OS. This activates the gestures only, but does not install the on/off button in Settings/General as the Mac method does. Do a Google search to find the steps to do this.

  • Does anyone know how to enable byte-range requests on Mac OS X Server 10.5?

    I need to be able to host my podcast episodes on the server and iTunes is giving me the error that my episodes are on a server that does not support byte-rnage requests when I try to submnit the podcast feed the iTunes directory. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

    I'm afraid you've fallen over a requirement that Apple has recently introduced. The iPhone plays podcasts by using 'byte-range requests', which means calling for part of the file at a time rather than the whole thing. Unfortunately some servers don't support this, and there were an increasing number of complaints that podcasts which worked elsewhwere weren't working on an iPhone.
    So Apple are now making the ability to handle this a condition of submission. Evidently your server doesn't support this, so all you can do is to ask them whether they can implement it. If not, you will have to find another hosting service - ask about this before committing yourself, and if they say no, or don't know what it is, find another host. Note that if, as some people do, you are hosting the feed and the episodes on different servers, it is the server hosting the episodeswhich is in question.
    If you would like to post the URL of one of your media files it may be possible to check your server - there is a test though I'm not sure it's 100% accurate.

  • I recently purchased a new macbook and am having trouble syncing my iPhone with the iTunes. It won't allow me to delete any of the music on my phone, so I am unable to make room for the new software upgrade. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Does anyone know how to enable editing on a new computer? I only have an 8gb phone and over 4gbs of music, half of which I don't even listen to anymore. I really want it off my phone, but when I plugged it into my new macbook nothing would delete. My old computer barely turns on so I can't even plug it into the old one to delete anything. I hit the sync button on the new computer and that didn't help either. I'd really like to upgrade to the new software but don't have the room on my phone until this music/a few apps are deleted. Any help would be appreciated!!

    Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing.  The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as).  The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue).  However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens.  It will not change to highlight that user.

  • HT204053 I have two different apple I.d's one for my iPhone and one for my iPad. I would like to only use one but I can't find an option to change my apple I.d.  ?? Does anyone know how to switch your apple I.d.?

    How do I sign out of my apple i.d. Using my iPad then sign back n using my other apple I.d? I can't find the option anywhere on my iPad to do this. Anyone know how?

    What ID do you want to change?  To change your iTunes ID, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.  To change the ID for iMessage, do the same thing in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive.  To change the ID for FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.  To change the ID for iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
