Debian :: Synology NAS Shared Drive Mapping
Sep 11, 2015
I've some how managed to map to a shared drive on my Synology NAS, but can only access it through the terminal when logged in as root. The share is mounted in the "mnt" directory, which I can't access when using the file manager application (as a user).
Update:
so I carried out the actions below and I can no see the share in my home directory, but can't access it. Is this because I done it with root?
root@D8:/home/user# mkdir share_nas
root@D8:/home/user# ls
Desktop Downloads Picturesshare_nas Videos
Documents Music PublicTemplates
root@D8:/home/user# mount 192.168.0.2:/volume1/NAS_share /home/user/share_nas

Having become so frustrated With the many bugs in 11.04 I have stepped backward and instead installed Ubuntu 10.10 onto my Dell laptop. Until now I have been very pleased, as nearly everything has worked well, straight out of the box. So, just as I thought I was home and dry I have noticed that I cannot see my Synology NAS drive on my network. This is doubly frustrating because my other PC, also running 10.10, has suddenly lost it's ability to see the NAS drive too. Throughout last week I used the NAS in conjunction with my Ubuntu PC without a hitch but now it's gone. The NAS is visible to both Windows and Macs it's just the Ubuntu machines that cannot use it. It is also vaguely annoying knowing that the NAS itself uses a Linux OS or maybe that could be a clue to what's wrong.
As things stand my Apple Macs can see each other, they see the Windows box, see the NAS and see the shared folders on the Ubuntu machines. The Windows machines see the Macs, each other, the NAS and the Linux shared folders. The Ubuntu machines only see the Apple Mac shares, no Windows and no other Ubuntu shared folder nor the NAS.
It is curious because the little program Avahi Zero Conf Browser can see absolutely everything on my network yet the Ubuntu GUI is proving to be the most difficult thing to network using anything other than than a web browser. Is there a concise definitive reason why Linux (Ubuntu) is so infernally difficult to network? I am not very experienced with Linux or the terminal but was hoping that this system might by now have become a little more user friendly for ordinary people.
Could there also have been something in a recent OS update that has killed off my PC running Ubuntu's ability to see the NAS where previously there has been no problem.

I have a question about shared objects and when mapping and linking is established in the following code...Well more of a verification.
getsetx.c - shared object source code Code: unsigned long x = 0;
unsigned long getx(void)
{
return x;
}
[Code].....
Now its my understanding when I execute ./testit, getsetx.so will get mapped into its address space at start up and testit will link any functions as they are needed..

how I can map a drive/directory on a remote Centos 5.3 server in my office to my local Windows XP at home. Is there any guides on how this could be done? eg. VPN, SAMBA, NFS, etc..

I'm trying to find a software which could map sftp/scp services to a windows drive letter. I know there are quite a bunch of those available, but i haven't found a single one which could run with SYSTEM or Netservice privileges or have decent command line options so i could elevate the program myself. The mapped drive should be available for other services running on the same server.
Most of the programs (sftp netdrive, expandrive, etc) have only option to startautomatically only when someone logs in. Because of that they are useless to me.Their inability to handle non-interactive starts is a bummer too. FTP->SFTP wrappers don't count as solution despite of integrated windows support for ftp drives. The way they are handled in windows makes ftp mapping unusable without some external ftp drive mapper software.

I'm trying to install TeXLive on DS109; everything seems to work right, still the installer is trying to download quite a big amount of data into a mp partition which size is only 62MB. So here goes a question: is there a way to (temporary) move mp from this partition to the root one? Or maybe change some magic option in TeXLive to use other path for download?

Ill start with a confession Im a total noob to the whole world of NAS and the Ubuntu OS. Until very recently I was using a Dell laptop with a couple of external hard drives to store my music and movie collections and I was connecting the laptop through VGA to my TV to watch streamed TV shows and my movie collection. I decided (sensibly I think) that this setup was practically prehistoric and was posing a risk to my music and movie collections. Therefore, I decided the buy the following: Asrock Ion 330BD-HT nettop Synology DiskStation 210j NAS 2 x 1TB Western Digital Green Caviar hard drives
I also decided that I would run Ubuntu 10.04 rather than suffering with another version of Windows. The basic setup process has gone fine. Ive got XBMC installed and have created connections to my shared music, video and photo folders on the NAS drive so that I can watch my movies, listen to music and view photos all through XBMC. I use the FTP connection for the video folder and the iTunes DAAP connection for the music.
The problem I have is that my connection to the DiskStation (which is wireless by the way) seems a little unstable and sometimes drops out during playback. I also have some intermittent problems accessing the folders through the Ubuntu OS. I understand from some basic research that I might be able to address these problems by mounting the NAS drive so that a connection is created on startup. Can someone tell me whether this is a decent solution and (if it is) how a total noob like me might be able to achieve this?

I am trying to map a URL to a file system location.According to official documentation at [URL] under 'Files Outside the DocumentRoot', it says:On Unix systems, symbolic links can bring other parts of the filesystem under the DocumentRoot. For security reasons, Apache will follow symbolic links only if the Options setting for the relevant directory includes FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch.

I have a Logitech K830 wireless 'Living Room' keyboard for general use under Debian/Gnome. The function keys (F1-F12) operate in conjunction with the FN key. Various multimedia options are alternately available by pressing the function keys (F1-F12) without the FN key.
I want to make the function keys primary (not requiring FN). 'xmodmap -e "keycode 172 = F11"' reassigns F11 as expected, but xev reveals multicode output for some keys that I cannot similarly remap. The (de-tabulated) table shows xev output for press-events. Single F(n) keycodes are followed by the equivalent multimedia keycodes (e.g. F2[+FN] key is also 'Minimize window'[without FN]).
KEY STATEKEYCODE KEYSYM
FN+F1 0x0167 0xffbe, F1
Adjust backlight ---- -- ------, --
FN+F2 0x1068 0xffbf, F2

OK, this is really little to do with Linux, as my question really involves my Vista Home machines. Anyone know good methods to have Windows Vista (Home Edition) machines stay mapped to a SAMBA share on a Linux server? I'm using user-level security on the server (Ubuntu Server 10.10), and it (generally) works really well, but I can't get the rest of my family to use it, as (understandably), they don't want to have to type in their password to the share every time they log in to the Vista machines (or my one XP machine left, for that matter), plus the problems when it occasionally decides it's already tried to connect once and failed, and refuses to "restore" the connection, ugh. I currently have one Win7 machine, and surprisingly, with the Win7 Home Premium edition, it actually "remembers" the passwords to the SAMBA shares.

I have a Dell XPS 17 L702X running vanilla Wheezy. The laptop has 3 special soft touch keys above the keyboard. Using Dell software in Windows you can configure these for whatever, but in Debian/Linux they share the same functions as keyboard keys.
Key 1 -> Super_L Q
Key 2 -> Brightness Down
Key 3 -> Doesn't seem to do anything and xev doesn't report any key codes
Apparently other XPS models have similar keys with the same problem. It's not a show stopper but it would be nice to have them working.

My Ubuntu server has been serving me well for the last couple of months, now I wish to use it as a back up service for my family. I have installed a 2nd hard drive, formatted it and put several folders on it; but I cannot give permissions for other computers to access these folders. Note that I can see the folders via Samba but it keeps telling me that the permissions are incorrect. I have tried to change the permissions of the hard drive but they simply 'correct' themselves (I change it to anyone can 'read and write', it then changes it straight back). All the folders have full permissions for guests.

I recently upgraded the latest ubuntu 11.04. I need to map my shared drive from windows7 to ubuntu 11.04. In precious ubuntu versions there was an option called "connect to server" to map a shared drive. How can I do that in ubuntu 11.04

All my windows PC's show the Linux computer in the network -but that's it. No sign of anything on the Linux computer. I built a Linux box, two drives. Linux OS on first drive, Second drive (320MB) is one FAT32 partition. Mount point for second drive is /mnt/windows. I set it up in Samba as shared with read, write, and browse all set to "yes".
From other computers connected to my router (XP and Vista OS) I can see the Linux computer (Icon shown with the computer name), I can successfully ping it's IP address -but I can't see any drives or directories on it. No error codes, no password requests.In the network neighborhood in windows it shows the Linux machine, but when i click on it, I only get "properties" which does not include any drives or directories.I'm really stuck here -I don't know what's missing in the network configuration or how to troubleshoot this (no error message). How do I get /mnt/windows on the Linux machine visible to the windows computers?

This is a USB shared drive, with an ext3 partition. The partition is located at /dev/sdb1. I use Samba to share /media/tiga1000/samba/public, and everyone on the network can add/delete files to it. Specifically, this is our media drive, and we upload a lot of pictures to it, since me and my sister are amateur photographers. Under /public/images/camera_pictures/2010, I have 3 directories. 01_january, 02_february, and 03_march. The directory that has been corrupted is 03_march, and when I say corrupted, I mean that I cannot open it. It acts as a unknown file type that can't be opened.
Here is the file properties of it:
Code:
drsmall@mycroft:/media/tiga1000/samba/public/images/camera_pictures/2010$ ls -lah
total 960K
drwxr-xr-x 4 nobody nogroup 4.0K 2010-03-11 21:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 nobody nogroup 4.0K 2010-02-18 20:19 ..
drwxr-xr-x 14 nobody nogroup 4.0K 2010-01-31 11:57 01_january
drwxr-xr-x 10 nobody nogroup 4.0K 2010-02-23 15:47 02_february
-r--r--r-- 1 nobody nogroup 938K 2010-03-11 15:46 03_march
How I should go about recovering it. Somehow it lost it's directory switch. Should I unmount the drive and run fsck on it? I would like to be able to recover these images, if it is at least possible!

There is a shared drive (on a Samba server using Solaris, I guess) on a machine in our network. In windows, in order to access it I had to map the network drive by providing it's URI (http://blah.domain.com/dir1) and a username and password. How do I achieve the same thing in Ubuntu? While a terminal based solution is all I need.

Initially when I shrunk my NTFS Windows partition to install Fedora 11 I underestimated how much space I'd need for Fedora. Now that I'm using it as my primary operating system I have wasted space in the form of spare space on my NTFS partition. I was just wandering how safe it is to shrink this partition and move the free space to my /home partition using gparted on Linux? This would probably involve having to shift things towards the beginning of the drive as the Windows partition is at the beginning and the /home directory is at the end. Would I need to use a LiveCD to do this since it's meddling with an active operating system? I know I should back up the data, but is it quite safe to do it despite gparted in all likelihood having to move data from block to block across the drive?

I recently installed Fedora 12 + KDE on my laptop. I also have a media PC which I have connected to my TV. It has an external HD connected to which I am trying to mount on my laptop. It is connected to two other PCs all running Windows 7, part of a workgroup that only requires a password with no user log in. These PCs are working OK but I cant mount the shared drive on my Fedora laptop. I have tried the "Add Network Place" wizard which didnt work. Tried using the host IP rather than the host name. This got me to a user authentication screen which prompted me for a username and password.
As I mentioned before, the only user authentication required to connect to it should be that the device should be within the same workgroup and use the password. Tried using the workgroup name as the username which didnt work, neither did using the PCs usual log in. Eventually I gave up on the wizard and attempted to mount it from the command line using the following command.

I have an external HD attached to my desktop and setup as a shared resource. I want to be able to access it from my laptop as well. After much trying and drinking, I ended up with this in fstab:
//crackbox/seagate /seagate -o
then began giving me an error about not recognizing the file system type. I've been reading everything I can find and trying to get it to work, and have come up with very little. My fstab now contains this line instead of the above:

Now, when I reload fstab with "sudo mount -a", I get this output:

I have a Windows machine and a Linux machine with currently no hard drive. I have 250 GB external USB hard drive that I use on Windows with about 50GB of files on it. I want to install Ubuntu on it and share between Windows and Linux. I have Ubuntu on a CD that allows me to run Linux on the Linux machine. When I try to install Ubuntu on the external hard drive (from the Linux machine) it indicates that it will allocate about 98 GB for Ubuntu and 150 GB for files (with 50 GB of existing files). Then it says something about partitioning something (I think) that might take a long time. Does this mean that Ubuntu will take up all the free space on the hard drive? Does it also mean that when I connect the hard drive to the Windows machine, it will see two partitions when previously there was only one?

I have a machine running Ubuntu 9.10 that has an external HD with shared folders music folder and media downloads folder). I have set up SAMBA on that machine.
On my laptop I am running a dual boot system with Windows Vista and using wubi install, Ubuntu 9.10.
In Windows, I am able to wirelessly connect to the shared folder and access the music folder and the media downloads folder on my Desktop Ubuntu machine. All is good.
When I boot in Ubuntu, I am unable to connect to the shared folder under Places > Network I can negotiate to the MSHOME (the name of my work group). Once selected I get the error Failed to retrieve Shared List from server error message.

I successfully installed Samba, but have problem with access to any shared folder on my secondary drive. If I try access secondary drive with admin user, everything is fine. If with another account try to access via samba to shared folder on partition with Ubuntu, everything is fine again. Every folder has set privileges to read&write to everyone, so shouldn't be problem here.
