Troubleshooting

** I get the "fuse: reading device: Bad file descriptor" error

The fuse module is probably not loaded:

To test if it is loaded:
# lsmod | grep fuse

To load it:
# modprobe fuse

Add fuse to /etc/modules if you want this module to be loaded at boot.

** I get the "mount: unknown filesystem type 'wikipediafs'" error

Try this:
# ln -s /usr/bin/mount.wikipediafs /sbin/mount.wikipediafs

** Other

The FAQ available on the official Fuse website is probably worth reading.
