Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Access Shared Folder On XP Machine

Mar 10, 2011

Been using Ubuntu now almost 1 year and love it but I'm still mostly lost so I need someone to explain in great detail how to be able to access the My Documents folder on my LAN XP machine. I've been up and working fine for 6 or 8 months but all of the sudden (maybe it was an update package?) I get the following error message, after a long delay, when trying to access the shared folder:

Could not open location 'smb://office/my%20documents/'Failed to mount Windows share.I have set an icon on the top panel mapped to the XP machine and launched by launcher.

General :: Slackware - Ubuntu Machine /home/_ Folder?

Jan 8, 2011

I've got a machine running Slackware64 13.1, and Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit, and today, while installing python-ogre in Ubuntu, I was informed that I had run out of hard drive space on my /home partition.

The /home partition is shared between Slack and Ubuntu, and just earlier today, upon booting into Ubuntu, I got a message that the /home partition couldn't be mounted (before most of the system had loaded. It was still on the purple loading screen) Well simply rebooting fixed this. Then today I suddenly ran out of space, and I thought I was only about half way through the allotted space. Well after some investigation I discovered a folder called /home/_ which was an exact duplicate of /home. Well in need of some extra hard drive space, and in conclusion that it was unneeded, I deleted it. And when I deleted it, everything in /home deleted as well.

First off, what is this /home/_ folder? Where could it have come from? The creation time is about 7 minutes after I created a new user on Slackware, and I think it might have been about 7 minutes after creating that user that I had changed its home directory so that Ubuntu's user config files wouldn't conflict with Slackware's.

Secondly, why did /home's contents delete when I removed /home/_? I already figured out there isn't any way of recovering those files (except for the files I luckily synced with Dropbox)

Third, is there some way to prevent this from happening again? Does anyone have any experience with this? Has anyone heard of this happening before? I already know that /home/_ was not a symbolic link.

General :: Share One Folder Between 2 Users With Full RW Access?

Feb 23, 2011

OK, I have a very simple question.

Is it possible to share one folder between 2 users with full RW access without sharing every other directory they own outside that folder?

This seems straight forward enough to me. I've just asked it on #linux at irc.freenode.net but when we tried it became apparent that no one there could tell me how it was done.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Share The Same Shared Folder Between Multiple Users?

Aug 13, 2010

I'm using a Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 32-bit machine as my file server. It is sharing a few folders stored on a USB NTFS drive using Netatalk. The client machine is running MacOS 10.6.4. I have only one user on the Ubuntu machine, but the Mac machine has two users. I wish to share the same network share between the two Mac users, while both are logged in (they switch between one another without logging the other one out).

I created a login item on both Mac user accounts to automount the Ubuntu shared folder and used the same Ubuntu user account for authentication on both Mac accounts. This is the problem: When the first Mac user logs in, the shared folder automatically mounts with no problems. However, when the second user switches to their account (without logging out the first user) the automount mounts the folder with a red "No Access" sign on the folder. The only way to resolve it is to eject the mount and manually remount.

This is not the end of the world, but I would like to resolve this issue if possible, so that the users get a smoother experience. The way I tried to resolve this: I thought that maybe Netatalk does not allow the same user to connect more than once from the same IP, so I set up an additional user on the Ubuntu machine. when I connect to the Ubuntu server using the new user for authentication, the only share available for the user is their home folder. The other shares are not available.

I therefore tried to configure permissions using the AppleVolumes.default by explicitly giving all users the "allow" permission for all shares and restarting the Netatalk service, however the new user still has access to nothing but their home folder. How can I share the same shared folder between multiple users?

Server :: Windows Machine Cannot See Samba Shared Folder

Apr 30, 2009

I have everything networked properly, as far as I can tell, both computers see each other... I can use putty to port in and use my Linux machine (Debian 4). When I go to map network drive on my XP machine, I can see the computer, but not the shared folder. After some googling I found that i have to create my Windows user name ont he Linux machine as a user as well. Unforunately, that user is 'Administrator'. So I told Linux to force user, and it created it, and did smbpasswd command and added the user to the samba list. Still nothing.

Fedora Networking :: Cannot Access F10 Shared Folder From XP

Jan 16, 2009

Installed Fedora 10 on my Downloader (just a name for the pc as its mainly used for torrent downloading) computer. But I cant access the fedora shared folder from my windows XP. Accessing XP shared folders from F10 is fine. I have another 2 computer where I have installed Ubuntu 8.10. I have no problem accessing either of the Ubuntu system from my XP computer. The F10 computer comes up fine on my Workgroup list of xp. I double click to go into the F10, a login window pops up and askes for username and password. I used the normal username and root / password to log in. But it keeps popping up for password again and again. BTW, Recently I Installed Win7 Beta on the Windows computer and Surprisingly I can access the Fedora 10 computer shared folder just fine from Win7. But I need to get it working under windows XP.

Here is my smb.conf file
Code:
# Global Settings
[global]
# Network Related Options
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, e.g.: MIDEARTH
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field netbios name can be used to specify a server name not tied to the hostname. Interfaces lets you configure Samba to use multiple interfaces. If you have multiple network interfaces then you can list the ones. You want to listen on (never omit localhost). Hosts Allow/Hosts Deny lets you restrict who can connect, and you can specify it as a per share option as well

workgroup = THEMATRIX
server string = Samba Server Version %v
netbios name = MYSERVER
;interfaces = lo eth0 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
;hosts allow = 127. 192.168.12. 192.168.13 .....

Fedora Networking :: Cannot Access The Shared Folder

Apr 23, 2010

I've installed Fedora 12 on my laptop and when I share any folder and try to access it over the network using smb://<ip-address/<folder> it says "file or folder smb://..... does not exist"

Now if I simply try to access - smb://<ip-address> on the file browser it shows me shared folders but when I double click I get the same error.

I've SELinux disable, Firewall disable but I'm still not able to access these folders.

I did the exactly same samba configuration on openSUSE and I'm able to access the folder but not with Fedora 12.

Ubuntu :: Moving One Users Home Folder To Other Disk?

May 29, 2011

How would you go about moving one users home folder to a different partition, while maintaining other users home folder on the current one. Will simply running "usermod -dm /path/to/new/home username" on one of the users do the trick.

I want to run one of the users of an SSD, while the other runs of a bigger SATA disk.

Ubuntu Networking :: No Access To Win7 Shared Folder?

Sep 1, 2011

I've set up a laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 32bit and shared specific folders on my Win7 PC. Everything should work okay as they both can see each other, but when I try on Ubuntu to access the Win7 shared folder it asks me for username and password. In Win7 I'm always logged in as Administrator with no password set and Ubuntu won't let me connect to it leaving the password blank. It just keeps asking for my username/password over and over again without any kind of error message. It doesn't come up with 'access denied' or anything, it just keeps refreshing the username/password login/connect gui so I can't say which side of the fence the problem is occurring on though I suspect it's on the Ubuntu side.

Server :: Ubuntu 10.04 - Shared Folder Access Without Authentication

May 25, 2011

Heres what I have and what I am looking to do. I have a PC with a single core 2 Ghz Pentium processor and 1 gb of RAM. Its pretty limited in what it can do and run. It has two physical HDDs one a 250 GB SATA and the other a 160GB SATA. One the two hard drives I have the following partition structure:

160 GB HDD
28 GB Ubuntu OS Partition
2 GB Swap Partition
130 GB Free Partition (EXT4 but empty)
250 GB HDD
250 GB Free Partition (EXT4 but empty)

What I would like to do is the following:
1. Strip down Ubuntu 10.04 to where only the bare minimums run and system resources (Since they are so scarce on this system anyway) be readily available
2. Have the system run solely as a Samba File server for all other computers in the house to read and write to
3. Allow other "known" systems to access the shared folder without authentication, but any system with an unknown name, should have to authenticate first
4. Have the 130 GB from HDA and 250 GB from HDB, be presented as one network drive of 380 GB as opposed to two of 130 and 250 gb respectively

Are these things that are possible for a person of mid level understanding of Linux? How would one set about achieving all of the above goals?

Ubuntu Servers :: Users On The Machine Can Login Into Vsftpd With Their Username And Password On The Machine And Go To Their Root Dir "/home/username"?

Nov 3, 2010

I recently installed vsftpd on my server. I noticed that users on the machine can login into vsftpd with their username and password on the machine and go to their root dir "/home/username".Now, I want to give some people a vsftpd username and password so they can upload and download files and folders to their folder, but this folder has to be in the "/var/www/(username)" folder. I don't want them to be able to go to any other folder than their own folder like "/var", "/etc" or "/home" etc. Also I don't want them to be able to login on the machine as a user, through putty for example. They should only be allowed to acces their folder with vsftpd, nothing else.
