I have installed VMWare Player on my windows XP and installed Ubuntu. On Ubuntu virtual machine I see Network Drives folder but I do not see any netwrok drives I have on my windows. Any suggestions for what should I do to be able to access Network drives in Ubuntu as well.
View 1 RepliesMy Quanta Plus can not access files on my network shares.I have my network drives mounted in /etc/fstab and they work great with all programs EXCEPT Quanta Plus.When trying to open any file on a network drive I get the following error: The file <filename> could not be loaded, as it was not possible to read from it. Check if you have read access to this file.I can use any other editor, Screem, Bluefish, gedit, pico, etc and open, modify and save files on these same network drives. Something I just realized is that Quanta Plus is a KDE app. Could it be that there is some KDE networking component that I am missing? This does happen to be a fresh Ubuntu install on a new computer. I have Quanta Plus installed on my old computer and it works fine with these same network shares (same fstab file), but over the years I have installed many programs on it and perhaps it has a KDE networking piece that hasn't been installed on this new computer.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, it took me a few years to come back to Linux. Had used it MANY years ago, and have been meaning to revisit it for some time now and finally have. Tried a couple other OSs that were just, frankly, garbage. But, not Ubuntu! So far, I haven't had any of the issues I've seen posted here. I decided to use my worst system as a test environment - an old Jetta Jetbook 9450. Loaded up with no problems, most noted none of the "searching for drivers" issue that I ran into with other OSs! All that being said, I do have one question - how do I get the laptop to join my network so that I can view my shared drives? In Windows, it's simply change WORKGROUP to my network name. Been flipping through the options, and I'm sure I may have overlooked it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI currently have VirtualBox installed on my Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop. I have windows xp as a guest os and it has network shares on it. My question is, is there a way for another computer to access those network drives on the guest os in virtualbox? I don't want to search for hours on end on google, a simple no would be fine - however if it is possible let me know because when I am in windows on another computer that has windows as a host os it sees it in the windows network folder but it says "....network location not found" or something similar but it still shows a pc picture of the virtual os of the virtual box program running in ubuntu.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed a ubuntu server edition on a VMware workstation. The problem is , when I added a network adapter (so, total 2 adapters now), the second one was not being shown in ifconfig. On trying ifconfig eth1, I found that the 2nd adapter didn't have an ip address. So, I installed ubuntu desktop edition on another VM, and this time it showed both the network adapters on doing ifconfig, and both had ip addresses. Why doesn't this work with ubuntu server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently i started going into OSes other than Windows. So, i installed openSUSE 11.3 32bit on my system in dual boot with Windows7 32bit. Everything was okay But i couldn't find any drivers for my laptop. My problems are :
1. cannot access NTFS drives.
2. cannot connect to the internet through LAN
3. cannot connect to the internet through Wireless.
Computer's Configuration :
Dell Inspiron 14r
Intel Corei3 processor
Both the operating systems run fine otherwise
This is the set up I have: PC downstairs by a tv, with 3TB of storage containing my media, connected to the tv too. HTPC upstairs by another tv and connected to it. A few laptops and other desktops around the house which are windows based
I want the downstairs pc to act as a file server and to run my torrent client, it is running Ubuntu desktop version and has xbmc installed too for use with the tv. The upstairs htpc has xbmc live on and will access the media from the file server. What I am looking to do is to be able to log into my ubuntu machine remotely from a laptop running windows so I can manage the files and add torrents for download etc, but for this to be a complete remote session, rather than taking control over what is already being shown on the downstairs pc, like VNC does in windows.
I have two user accounts set up on the main ubuntu machine, the admin account and a media user account which is set to go straight to xbmc after log in. Also how can I make sure that the media drives are automatically mounted to allow access if the admin user is not logged in?
am facing trouble in accessing my windows file system from within ubuntu OS.. i had this problem with a fedora distro before,, and it wasn't solve till i've installed ubuntu and still facing it here,,i have some of my friends who installed ubuntu from inside the windows.. they are not having this problem.. they can navigate through the both file systems under linux and windows.. but i've installed it "from out windows vista OS".when i attempt to double click on windows drives it says something like : "cant mount the drive.".. really confused..

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem:
I am on Debian. I configured my nic with a static ip (192.168.1.56).
When I try to connect to a network, initially with ifconfig eth2 I get (correctly):
eth2 inet addr:192.168.1.56 ....
inet6 addr: fe80:221:ff:fe96:4598/64
but after a few seconds the 192.168.1.56 disappears and after some other seconds disappears the inet6 address too.
When I press in the nm-applet it requires me the password but in the meantime it try to connect.
At uni, the connection is a DHCP one. It works for the first few seconds but after it doesn't.
Any possible solution?
Here it is the relevant part of the syslog: (static ip configuration)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on creating a bootable Linux CD to distribute a sandbox environment to customers that will work on multiple PCs.One requirement of this environment is that we do not want the user to have any access to the underlying hard drives in the computer to prevent any accidental and/or malicious damage. I can prevent the disks from automounting with a few udev custom rules, but is there any way to prevent/block the user from manually mounting the hard drives after boot up.

Im using slack ware 10.2 for may mail server.
I am dual booting OpenSuse 11.2 and Windows 7 both 64bit on my PC. I've got VMware workstation installed on both. I've got few virtual machines which were all created in Windows VMware and they're all stored on a separate partition. I can access this partition and all other NTFS partition from Suse but with read-only permissions. That means I can't run any of these virtual machines from Suse VMware. Is there any possible way to make all these drives writeable from Suse? I'm really hoping someone would be able to help me. I've got a lot of googling and have even searched this forum but without any luck.

View 1 Replies View RelatedYesterday I tried to update some packages (as the update manager suggested), though somehow it got stuck near the end, so it quit. Today when I rebooted my computer, I was in for a surprise. All my nautilus bookmarks have vanished from the "Places" panel, and in Firefox all my bookmarks have gone, although when I type pieces of them, it suggests them and all my passwords are still intact. A major issue, though, is that ubuntu tells me that all space on my hard drive is used. Even if I delete files (directly, not through the trash can)! The DVD player has also disappeared from the list of drives. When I run sudo apt-get update it tells me that it is unable to connect to archive.getdeb.net. I'm not sure whether this is a general problem, but I find it very odd. Anyone any ideas (apart from installing a new version from DVD)?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use network storage locations as mount points during installation?
cause i want to separate system (ubuntu) with data (personal files).
eg. if i have 5 computers i don't want to recreate /home/david 5 times.
so i want to mount networkdrive/home to /home in local ubuntu server.
so ALL users home folders could be used and maybe also networkdrive/projects to /projects.
in that way its ok if i by accident repartitioned the local ubuntu server cause all data is not there on that server, but in the data server.
is separating "data" from "logic" good in this case?
and is it possible? what protocol should i use for the mapping over internet? (maybe the server is in Sweden, and the data is in Norway).
I can not write to any directories mounted.I have included the below info as my issue outgrew nmy original thread here:

I recently built a small Intel Atom 330 based server for my home. I'm using the Vortexbox Fedora-based OS to run the server (primarily used as a media server). So far everything is working great. In addition to my media server, I've got a DLink DNS-321 NAS. I would like to setup a scheduled, incremental backup of my main server to the DLink NAS. I understand rsync is an excellent option, and am willing to undertake the task of setting it up on my server, but I am uncertain how to make it all happen with the DLink NAS. The NAS is very barebones, and I don't know if I can even install rsync on it. I don't even know if I can get to any kind of command line on the NAS box. 1. Can I mount the NAS drive on my main Linux server and then just run rsync on the server?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed WICD on Debian . I can now access a new a Network Manager screen, which did not exist before, but it does not display/detect any wireless networks. It is like dead. Before installing WICD I did at least have a wireless WPE encrypted network, which was detected, although it often disconnected for no known reasons. Now even that Network has gone and I can't go on line. Can anybody help here? How can I configure the WICDNetwork Manager to detect an existing network or create a new one? In the latter case, would I have to reconfigure the Router settings to setup/connect to a network in Debian? May be I have to do this, because Tor/Vidalia changes my IP address and so my Network Adapter ( Linksys) can no longer connect to the router.
Also, when trying to follow troubleshooting leads in this connection, the Terminal screen on Debian ( CMD) would often return a PERMISSIONS DENIED message.
I have a mac and an openSUSE box connected wirelessly to a router. From my mac, if I ping the Linux machine by both ip address and hostname "elmo.local", I get a response. If I ping my mac from the Linux machine using its ip address, I get a response. However, if I ping the mac from the Linux box using its name "kermit.local" - nothing!
This means in order to share files between them via the network, I have to use the ip address rather than name, but I'd rather not. When I had Ubuntu installed instead of openSUSE this all worked fine out of the box, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the setup of openSUSE rather than the router or the mac.
I set my Network Adapter to the NAT setting, and ran an ifconfig for my machine. All the I got back was eth0 and lo. eth0 has the static IP configured I configured back in the days where I was running my VM Bridged with DHCP. Do I need to reconfigure my eth0 settings now and if so how?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed opensuse 11.4 and i'm not being able to connect to my wireless lan. It recognizes my network, but when I click "ok" after typing the password it is like I had done nothing, no connection is set at all.I guess it is probably some configuration stuff since my notebook recognizes all available wireless networks. Sorry about the lack of details, but that is all I got.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI use Suse 11.2. I mounted 5 folders from fstab. 2 of them work but 3 do not. The 3 folders that do not work let me enter them, and they let me see everything. I can even create or delete a folder on them, if I am just browsing with konqueror. The problem is that I have a program that will not read them. It's a program made for my company and apparently it will only read folders that have all of their permissions set to read and write. The program will read the first two because their permissions are set to Owner, Group, and Others, can view and modify content. (The network folders are all windows server 2003 computers). The 3 folders the program will not read are set to Owner can view and modify content, but Group and Others are "can view content" If I try to change those permissions even in root, it tells me that access is denied.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI had Fedora 12 installed on my laptop and everything was working okay.
After making a fresh install of Fedora 14 I can now only access some websites, others cannot be found.
I have spent hours trying to resolve this without success.
I got my server set up with 10.04, and with everything installed: DHCP, SSH, Samba, VBox, etc.
DHCP, SSH work fine, but I am having problems where I cannot ping the hostname of the machine.
It worked for a few minutes after I got everything installed and now it's not letting me connect via hostname. I can connect fine if I use the IP address. I cannot ping the machine by hostname unless I add it's IP address to the hosts file.
