Set up your sources :
To get the latest ntfs-3g, you will need first to add a repository to your source.list. Open a terminal and type:

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

At the end of the file, just add one of the following mirror:

For DAPPER :
Feisty users don’t have to deal with additionnal repository, all is already in ubuntu repo.

deb http://flomertens.free.fr/ubuntu/ dapper main main-all
deb http://ntfs-3g.sitesweetsite.info/ubuntu/ dapper main main-all
deb http://flomertens.keo.in/ubuntu/ dapper main main-all

2. Installation :

Packages of my repository are authenticated with a gpg key. To use it, you should execute the following command :

Code:

wget http://flomertens.keo.in/ubuntu/givre_key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

or

Code:
