View 4 Replies View RelatedIt seems whenever i create a folder it creates the folder as untitled folder, but i can't change the folder name it just says "you don't have permission to rename item" but yet i created the folder and it is there. One thing i have noticed is that once i enter a folder it won't even let me move the folder.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to establish the easiest way to share a folder from an Ubuntu machine to a Windows machine.In the past I have added things to smb.conf and that has all worked fine but what I am trying to do is to figure out what the "new user" way of doing this is so that when I am helping other people I know I am getting them to do the simplest thing.I completely removed samba and reinstalled it so that I didn't have any configuration. Right clicked on a folder and selected "Sharing Options" ticked the "Share this folder box" gave it a name and a comment and ticked the other two boxes.
When I went to the windows laptop then it kept asking for a username/password and nothing worked.Back on the ubuntu machine I did sudo smbpasswd -a [username] and created a blank password. Now from the windows machine I can access the shared folder.Is the smbpasswd step still required? It's very confusing for a new user as there is no suggestion that anything other than right clicking on the folder and choosing the options you want would be required. Is it something to do with the fact that this is an ubuntu machine that has gradually been upgraded through versions and this problem wouldn't have been there from a new install?
I have mounted a shared folder in Ubuntu in VirtualBox, but I have to remount everytime I restart. how do I make this command run (for mounting) on startup or make it permanent?

I tried to mount a NFS share folder from another subnet. The NFS client on my SUSE 11 server could not detect it. The folder is in a different subnet. Is some one know how to make it work?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a new 64 bit workstation (Dell Vostro i7) which I usually keep running for extended periods (read; days and weeks). I have realized that the system completely ignores when I insert a USB stick (LaCie 8Gb USB Key). By ignore, I mean it doesn't get mounted, and /media/ is empty. Interesting enough if I go into YAST and probe for Hardware Information, I find my USB stick there under the USB section. There is no specific entry for the key in /etc/fstab by the way, as far as I know I don't need to specify how a USB stick should be mounted. Auto-mount, when it actually works, is perfectly fine.

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:

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.
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.

I can't run the Macrium Ubuntu Recover CD, it just fails for some reason. But I have Kubuntu 9.10 x64 freshly installed.
I was hoping if I could mount the Macrium Ubuntu Recovery ISO as a drive from within Linux it would "play" and allow me to recover my Vista backup.
I followed these instructions: Mount ISO as CD-rom not as a folder
It works, and the Iso is mounted, but I don't know what to do to get the now virtual "CD" in the virtual "drive" to "spin up" ... to "play"... that is, to "boot"... whatever you want to say.
I'm not trying to play a virtual CD or game, I'm trying to recover my Vista backup when I can't boot Vista.
(I'm actually trying this as an option. My Vista is currently running fine, I'm doing it in preparation for when Vista fails to boot next time ... like it did to me about a week ago.)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've set up a PC installed with Ubuntu 11.04 on my home network, given it the name "server" and given it a static IP of 192.168.1.200. I've created a file in the home directory called "Public" and set it to be shared with everyone, basically a chmod 0777 situation. Now, how do I connect, or map out that folder from another ubuntu 11.04 machine? I know how to do it in Windows, just hit "run" and type in "\server" and blamo, I can see everything that's shared on that machine. I can't figure out how to do this with Ubuntu.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just sat up an openSSH Server with Samba access and all, but don't think about that.here's my question, and as you read you may understand why I posted this instead of googling it, it's un-google-able.can I mount a regular folder like /media/disk1/random to 2 different places ? and if so here's the tricky part:
1: when I end up in that folder, I don't want the direction path to end up like this: /media/disk1/random IE: so I don't want a link to the other folder, I want the OS to think it's a regular folder (in lames terms)the reason is because I want my openSSH clients to move inside a small space, without jumping all over the place, and be able to use the (...) feature in the SFTP client.(don't think about the permissions their already set.)
2: I don't want it to be a synchronized folder, I want the data to be stored on /media/disk1/randomor else it kind of blows the whole file storage server idea straight out of the window.
