[VU+ Duo2] ntfs-3g plugin install problem

[Tangfolio]

Not too sure if I am in the right forum for this but -
I have been trying to install the ntfs-3g plugin but keep getting this error message:
"opkg_conf_load: could not lock /var/lib/opkg/lock: resource temporarily unavailable"
tried three or four times but just keep getting same thing.
I wondered about other possible install options but can't find anywhere to download ntfs-3g or find anything that seems to perform a similar function.

Ntfs3g is not compatible with the new kernel. Search the forums for more info. I have posted on how to get read only access to ntfs drives

Tkr001, Could you be a bit more specific.
I have read dozens of threads that come up in a search for 'ntfs' but didn't find anything that works.
It says in a lot that the new version supports ntfs read but it is not recognising it at all for me (put Apollo 041 on last night).
I did see one about telnet command opkg install kernel-module-ntfs but that hasn't done anything.
My ntfs formatted stuff was still being recognised up to Apollo 035 and things I have read says the system changed at Apollo 025.

That was the thread I was referring to.

Either delete /var/lib/opkg/lock or reboot the box.

There wasn't a /lock in /var/lib/opkg
Box has been rebooted a number of times recently with updates but have not been able to access content on ntfs drives for a while.
Ntfs drives appear in mount manager but I can't do anything with them, all the details show as 'unknown' except for 'device /dev/sdb1'.

I've also seen this error in my work to get the NTFS driver to work in Build 41. Although I havent seen that error in a while I still cannot get my NTFS disk to be fully compatible with 41. Managed to get it to read and actually play a movie file once, but now I'm back at lockup with VIX logo spin. Here is the Possible Bug Report:

Sorry to bump up an old thread but is ntfs-3g now compatible with the latest ViX image?

Reason I ask is that I saw a thread a few weeks ago here where the advice was to install ntfs-3g.

I have to date, since the problems with it's compatibility been installing the kernel based ntfs package and then editing /etc/filesystem to add ntfs to the list within the file. This then allows me read-only access to the drive.

EDIT: I would check myself but my box is being used by the family to watch crap Christmas films.

Just a quick bump, don't want to install ntfs-3g if it's not compatible but it is still available for download from the feeds.

This works for me.
