In Ubuntu 13.04 there was an option to use the PPA by Relan in order to get ExFat functionality. Seeing that in Ubuntu 13.10 this functionality is available from the repositories without the PPA I tried this but failed to make it work.

Trying the PPA in Ubuntu 13.10 does not yield results either, as it complains about missing the fuse-utils package. This package seems to have been removed (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/amd64/fuse-utils).

So my question is, did the process of using ExFat change since the jump from Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 and how do I enable it?

Old Way

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:relan/exfat

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

Tried now via Ubuntu Software Center

sudo apt-get install exfat-utils exfat-fuse
