View 9 Replies View RelatedA long time ago I came here with a query about comparing directory structures so that I could ensure I had 2 copies of all of my mp3's - 1 in high quality and 1 in portable quality. The original thread is here [url]
Now time has moved on I have begun to encode to flac, and I want to find and delete any mp3's that I now have as flac.
The problem is, the file names are not always identical AND the extensions are different, meaning the command in the previous thread doesn't get me very far.
The music is stored in the format of /home/music/mp3/Artist/Album/ and /home/music/flac/Artist/Album/ if I could just get a list of all the "album" subfolders which are duplicated I could work the rest by hand.
I would like to accomplish: 1. Users to have access to their own Share on the server, no one exept the user shall be able to browse, read/write. (sould the user directories be in /home/<username> folder or shall one use another structure?
2. There shall be a public are where all users can browse, read and write. no guests, only users who have accounts!
3. A GroupShare. Users who are members of group Staff many browse, read/write.
4. Add some directorys for private use (to see how it works)
So would this be correct: Create the Directory Structure on the server:
Code:
# mkdir /usr/smbroot
# mkdir /usr/smbroot/users
# mkdir /usr/smbroot/public
# mkdir /usr/smbroot/groups/staff
# mkdir /usr/smbroot/private/fredrik_extended
or shall one use the default user shares /usr/<username>/?

I upgraded from Suse 10.3 to 11.2, since when my Win XP box can't access the Linux files. All was OK before upgrading. The Linux (Suse 11.2) can access the Win files fine using Samba and the workgroup.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am dual booting OpenSUSE and Windows 7 Pro x64. Each OS is installed on a separate 1Tb hard drive. One question that I have tried to Google for a solution with no success is, how do you access ext4 from Windows? Shortly after I installed OpenSUSE, my OpenSUSE hard drive "vanished" from Windows 7. aturally, I can access all my hard drives from OpenSUSE, which does support the NTFS. I am quite sure that I am not the only person who has this problem as I know that dual booting Linux and Windows is quite common.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm running SUSE 11.3 on a Dell Inspiron 1501. I'm trying to network it with my Windows 7 and XP boxes. I've installed Samba, activated the services Samba needs and add myself as a Samba user. My problem is that I can see and access files on the laptop from both of my desktops running Windows, but when I try to access them from the laptop I get a message saying the server timed out whenever I try to access my workgroup.
View 8 Replies View RelatedProblems with launching data files of the nas and saving to them is a kde problem. The dot desktop files have to contain access rights for smb/http etc and even when given these it still will not work. I have mainly concentrated on getting the VLC video player to work as it is capable of playing from just about any source, comes with codecs etc etc. Amazing package really.
Pure K apps such as kwrite at least work fine. I tried setting up samba but to no avail.
As dropping a file into VLC's focus didn't do anything I created a vlc desktop icon and dragged the nas file onto that. It plays and a kde error message pops up from plasma shell - can't find file!
I enable kde automount. The content of that when it starts is disturbing. It shows my system disks a detachable and not attached! No need to worry though. I selected mount on log in and attachment where the server was shown. VLC still wouldn't work.
Next I enable NFS file transfers on the NAS. This has allowed me to use open with directly onto an avi file on the nas. I can also click launch them. Remaining problem is opening files on the nas from within VLC. Up pops the kde message "you can only select local files". The file manager here seems to be an instance of dolphin. This suggest that there is going to be a problem saving files to the nas as well. Looks to be the case. VLC can convert formats and all sorts of things. If I select a file locally and try and convert it and save to the nas up pops the "you can only select local files" as soon as I select ok having set the path and file name.
Strange thing is that working transfers seem to be using CIF even though it took an NFS enable to get it partly working via KDE's automount. Dolphin only allows a CIF set up which has a distinct advantage as a direct ip address can be entered. The automount has introduced a very very long delay before kde is up and running following a log in. Samba is even worse in this respect and both seem to lack a method of direct ip input which means they have to find the server.
One other aspect. As far as NFS is concerned from a very recent post elsewhere nautilus works. Pass on CIF. And of course it's all instantaneous and ok on windows even on vista. Enabling the TV protocol on the nas has confused Vista as it only wants to connect like that and needs drivers. Might also be down to having NFS enabled though. MS might not like that.
I have filed all of this on bugzilla if anyone would like to vote - bug number 695648. Seems to me that the CIFs route should be the default for ease with many users on home networks. I'm also sure that the problem is basically KDE preventing aps from accessing the nas.
just want to download the 60mb-ish pack of family photos from my external usb hard drive. I've gone through a multitude of wikis and help threads and can't seem to figure out how to copy and paste those files to my laptop The usb hd works perfectly as I just was using it about 1 hour ago when I still had vista on this laptop. Here's a copy of my fstab as that seems the file all the wiki's:
[Code].....
I am looking a way to access my windows vista files (documents and pictures) in opensuse. I have a problem my Vista doesnt load anymore and I really need to recover some files from it before formatting.
I know very very veeeery little about linux. I installed few month ago but then didnt have time to really work on it. I checked on google but it's more confusing.
I have three partition. One is for Vista home edition 64 bit, the other one opensuse 11.1 and a third one for dell stuff (not sure what is it exactly )
I am a total noob when it comes to opensuse. I just read the reviews and comments from forums taht's why I wanna try this alternative. I have 1 physical drive that has two partitions. 1 is dedicated for my windows OS (20 GB) and the other for my data (approx. 100GB).
How can I install opensuse 11.3 to just 1 partition (20GB) and leave my data partition (approx. 100GB) as it is? Can I still view/access/read the files from my data partition after I have successfully install opensuse 11.3 to my Os partition?
Is there a way to make the (router's) USB port to work in OpenSUSE? I have a external HD were I would access files from when connected to the router with the shareport utility but it only works on windows. I was wondering if it could work in wine? And how could I do it?
And how can I make a network? I have never made a shared connection between computers. I don't know the correct term but I would like to share files with my brother and sister which I just converted from Ubuntu
I've created a new user for a SSH tunnel only.After login I can access all directories because permissions is set for "Others" to "Access files".Now my question: Is this normal that permissions for Folder access for "Others" is always set to "Access files"?I don't want my SSH tunnel user accessing the directories.

Prelude: OpenSUSE 11.2 (2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop), installed Novell client 2.0 SP2 (novell-client-2.0-sp2-sle11-i586.iso).
I found that if any usual user is logged into a NDS-tree, then _local_ root has full access to user's network shares, including the user's home directory located on remote Netware-server. Is it by design or
have I missed something? Nevertheless in windows local admin has no access to network resources mounted of any other user. If you runas shell (as admin) then admin in principle can't "see" network shares which were mounted (connected) by other users - they are accessible ("visible") per session.
i have 3 comps(running suse 11.3) and a laptop(running vista sp2). i have installed samba on all suse comps. i have a printer attached to one of the comps and it has been shared also the internet connection on that comp has been shared. all the computers are connected using lan cables through an ethernet switch. i also have a wireless router which is connected to the ethernet switch.
I am able to view all the comps on the network except the laptop running vista. all the desktops are visible on the network and are able to print and share files on the network and also connect to the internet. the laptop running vista can connect to the internet but its not visible on the network and nor can it share files across the network or access the printer.
I changed to wubi last night, i decided to go that way cause i was informed it was a safe way to try giving it a try for linux and ubuntu without any special effort needed to be payed and easily deleted if i am not pleased.Thankfully i am pretty satisfied with the results, i pretty much dealt with most of the issues i have faced so far successfully and i am running it ok beside one important thing.See i am using my laptop, which has a hdd of 250GB.On my Vista there are 2 different hdd C+E by default, they separated my hdd.So while i have windows on C and E is pretty much used for my additional data(see movies, music etc) when i installed wubi i installed it on E, thought it would be better and it had more space.
Now though, while i can access threw ubuntu all my files that were located on C(vista) i cant access any of the E ones, and search file dont helps either.The "vista hdd" as ubuntu describes it, its a 250 gb disk on computer, which means it should contain both of the vista disks.But sadly thats not the case.i cant seem to be able to find them anywhere.
the permissions for my home directory were accidentally changed from 'access files' to 'create and delete files', and I changed them back, but ever since then I am not able to change any preferences/settings at all. power management, themes, panels, emerald, anything. my user account is supposed to be the administrator, and all the user privliges are checked. how to get control of my computer back?

I have two external hard drives. One is a 2.5" 80GB USB HDD and the other is a Seagate 3.5" USB 500GB HDD. Both hard drives are mounted properly and I can access the data on both hard drives. I can access the small 80GB HDD via ssh from another computer and delete files, but when I try to access the 500GB drive via ssh it says access denied. When I try to access it with root, I can access it but I cannot see any files listed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI set up nginx on a VM somewhere and everything is working fine. Then I tried to build some directory structure under the nginx root HTML folder. I received 403 forbidden for a file so normally I assumed permissions. Using root I gave entire dir structure chmod -R a+r /usr/share/ngnix/html/myfolder. Still 403.
Then I SFTP'd into this box using a didcated web FTP account. I am not that experienced to be able to tell how is this user set nor which permissions it has, but by default it can view all directories in the system. When navigating to the HTML root I could see myfolder but when going inside I was seeing nothing. No subfolder, no files. needless to say ls -al from bash on any of these is giving me rwxr--r-- for all files and directories.
if I copy some arbitrary file from within the myfolder dir to html root and give it a+r it IS accessible from web and SFTP. If this were only a 403 I would assume something I am not configuring properly on nginx, but since SFTP is showing same behavior I am led to believe it is something in the directories themselves!? What else is there besides file permissions?
I'm trying to remotely access windows log files from linux. So far I've found two different approaches.
Install syslog server on windows machine and let windows send log files to linux, read those files Remotely access log files with wmi implementation for linux.
Does anyone know about limitations for those two approaches before I dive into implementation?
My system reports it successfully connected to the VPN at my workplace (pptp / windows server). So I had to enter my username and password in the VPN configuration screen, etc. My machine has Ubuntu 10.04. I tried to find out how to open the files on the server. In windows, after opening the vpn I would go to this location in the file manager:
\company-fs1UsersJulian_b
This would show me the files I am looking for. In the linux terminal, and the Nautilus file manager, these locations do not exist. I tried using mount.cifs to mount this location and it didn't work. (fails with these messages : mounting the DFS root for a particular server not implemented yet no ip address specified and hostname not found). How do I get to these files on the Windows share?
I was dual booting windows 7 RC and Ubuntu, and then I upgraded to Windows 7 when it came out, but left the RC on my computer because I had some files on there that I needed. Some of the files that I have on the hard drive where the RC is are encrypted and now I can't access that operating system therefore I can't access the files.
