How do I install and mount an exFAT partition?

Question

I have searched around here and with Google, and none of the instructions I have found work with Oneric.

How do install exFAT and mount an exFAT partition in the latest release of Kubuntu?

Answer 1

You will need the package fuse-exfat to allow you to read and write on exFAT drives:

Open a terminal ctrl+alt+t and type the following:

1. To add the correct repository:

   sudo apt-add-repository ppa:relan/exfat
   

2. To update your package list:

   sudo apt-get update
   

3. To install fuse-exfat and exfat-utils packages:

   sudo apt-get install fuse-exfat exfat-utils
   

Afterwards you just need to plug in the HDD and you're good to go.
