I created a shared folder in my network, and then unshared it but it still shows up on Guest computers and people can still access it.How can I stop the share? "Sharing options" is completely greyed out.
View 6 RepliesI can access the folders that I have created in XP. What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to share or link folders between the two OS. For example, I try to keep my files organized as best I can and had been keeping pictures in my XP "My Pictures" folder, but have to do a bit of directory digging to get to that same folder from Ubuntu.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm on Ubuntu 10.10. I installed Samba and went Administration > Samba. Added a folder [Videos] to share (this folder is on an ext partition). I then went to the folder [Videos] Right+Click > Sharing Options. I selected 'Share this folder', I put in a name and comment, checked Allow others to create and delete files in this folder and checked Guest Access.
When I view this shared folder [Videos] from my Windows PC I can access it with no problems but when I try drill down into sub folders I get a permissions error. [Attached a screenshot of the error]. If I share each folder separately then I can access them but obviously I'd like to share a folder and all it's contents.
Problem with the Visual Effects under Appearance is greyed out. The options were available until after removing Compiz. Is there a way to restore back to the original setting of ubuntu 10.10 prior to installing Compiz?

GDM autologin lets me start my computer and enter gnome as before, but su and sudo wont let me access my root account. If I start in single-user mode and try to change my root password with the command passwd I drop back to the shell after entering my current password, no error messages. Same with su and sudo, just drop back to the terminal without error messages. I am running ubuntu jaunty, any idea what's happened?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 9.10 desktop. I set up my main user- admin and loaded the folders of files I would be working on and the relevant additional programs. Now, I would like to set up a second user so that someone else can use the computer with access to many of my files and folders, but not all, which would defeat having a second user. I have set sharing preferences for all of my folders. I have giving most rights to my second user. Yet the second user cannot even see ANY of my folders when they sign-in.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI attempted to share my ~/Videos folder using the Folder Sharing dialog when right-clicking a folder in Nautilus. It started to install but failed partially spitting out some error that I didn't bother to read/write down. It asked me to restart which I did. But now when reattempting to share the folder, I get given the following message: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot create tmp file /var/lib/samba/usershares/:tmp0BRWpm
I've looked around for a thread for this particular error, but I can't find anything specific to the "cannot create tmp file" issue. I'm assuming it's some folder permission issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling samba from the Ubuntu Software Center.
Current situation: two drives, Ubuntu 10.4 64bit installed and running on one drive, other drive blank and formatted for NTFS. What I want: When I download of save anything I want it to be stored automatically on the NTFS drive with no encryption and have the 'Places' folders point to the corresponding folders on that drive. Why: simple, I'm planing to dual boot Ubuntu and windows 7, and the NTFS folder will be the 'My Documents' Drive, this is why it's formatted NTFS. There will be over 100GB on files I'll need both OS's to have access too and I would like it to be automatic to save duplication. Also, if I need to, I want to be able to take that documents drive from the Ubuntu PC and be able to recover the info with an inferior windows OS... because that's what I have lying round in an emergency.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've being following this guide, which is great, and currently my samba.conf looks like this:
Code:
[global]
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
workgroup = "Name"
netbios name = "Server name"
[Code].....
As you can (maybe) see, my entire /home folder is shared. For various reasons, I'd prefer it if only say my music and videos were shared, how do I do that? I've looked around the web and seen some other people's samba.conf files but mine looks totally different and I don't want to lose the functionality I have by messing around with it.
Win7 x64 host with Virtualbox installed running Ubuntu 32bit guest OS. I have Samba installed and I am sharing a folder to have read access from Win7. The folders I tried to share (here 'folder1-3') have been added in the conf.d in etc/samba/ like this - I used these 3 variants, all showed the same problem:
Code:
[folder1]
path = /data/mp3
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
[code]....
While I can connect to all of these from Windows and map them in Windows Explorer, I am unable to serve those files using my FTP server that is running on Windows. The folders simply do not show up when I add them as folders to serve in FileZilla. The problem I am assuming is causing this is the fact that FileZilla is running as a different instance and not on an administrator level. I cannot however add any users to the permissions list on the Windows side. The 'security' tab of the mapped folder shows the following Users:
EVERYONE
root (Unix user
oot)
root (Unix group
oot)
None of these seem to have rights to 'read' or 'list folders', the only permissions listed are 'special permissions'. Does anyone know how I can assign the group EVERYONE privileges to read and list files and then be able to serve this shared folder through my Windows-run FTP server?
I have a USB drive connected to my Ubuntu laptop. I tried to create a share but cant access it from other Win PCs. I'm getting access denied even though I'm entering my ubuntu username and password. I'm guessing this has something to do with my drive being NTFS

How do I map domain users from second Windows Server (like \windowsserverusers<user>) to a folder (like /home/<domain>/<user>/<user_personal_folder>) in OpenSUSE computer ? It should be via samba right? Trying checking something in /etc/samba/smb.conf but couldn't find anything.
I have a problem with folder sharing. I wanted to uninstall samba completely and I did it manually using Ubuntu Software Center(instead of using sudo apt-get remove samba). I searched "samba" in Ubuntu Software Centerand uninstalled all the components that retrieved.After that when I right clicked on a folder it's not displaying "Sharing Options".In this link - they say "Sharing Options" is use when share folders using Nautilus.So I completely uninstalled Nautilus using "sudo apt-get install nautilus" and reinstalled it. After that I restarted the pc. But it didn't work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've searched for this a fair bit but everyone seems to have a different cause.
I constantly get applications greyed out. (I understand this is when ubuntu sees them as 'not responding') It happens to Firefox a lot, but that may just be because I use it alot. It happens to Nautilus a lot too, and sometimes the everything gets grey at once.
Windows, every other OS I've ever had installed (including older Ubuntus) and the 10.04 live-cd all run fine. So I'm under the impression that it's something either that i've installed or that ubuntu did when it installed.
It's done this pretty regularly from day one, so it doesn't seem to be something I've done lol.
What possible causes are there for this? Is there a log or something I can check that may enlighten me?

Then I noticed that the send/receive was greyed out.
I rebooted several times with no change. I've clicked on Permissions in the File menu, but that doesn't then show any window, which is what I would expect, thinking that something has changed.

I have a computer running Ubuntu 10.10. I am using it to share many hard drives connected to it. I am using Samba. I have successfully shared many folders to one Windows user.
