13.1 - How to load FUSE support for NTFS, kernel 3.12.0-1

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Not sure what is default, what may be common on this system which was forklifted from dissimilar hardware. Have been force re-installing packages as I come across problems.

Current Issue
Cannot mount NTFS partitions in Dolphin File Manager.
Throws an error unable to mount due to

FATAL: Module fuse not found. fuse: device not found. Try 'modprobe fuse' first

Running “modprobe fuse” returned “not found”
So, force re-installed the fuse and NTFS-3g packages and attempted to re-load fuse but SOL.

I then suspected that I should do a search for “fuse.ko” and found it was compiled only for an older kernel and not present for the current 13.1 kernel.

Do not know how fuse is implemented in 13.1, am suspecting should be part of the mainline kernel but how to verify is not missing or needs to be enabled?

Thx,
I found that shortly after I posted so it looks like at least FUSE is implemented as a kernel module.
So now, I have to figure out if the module should have been loaded on boot or is supposed to be invoked on demand and if the latter, why it’s not working on my system…
