I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Toshiba Satellite laptop and need to be able to put a permanent link to my other machine (Windows Vista) on the desktop. At the moment I have to go through the Places - Network - Windows - Network Name - Windows Shares - User rigmarole.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem where I'm using Ubuntu linux to mount a Windows Vista machine's USB drive and access it on the web using Apache. I did have the USB drive plugged into the Linux machine directly and that was working via the web. FollowSymLinks is on in httpd.conf

The mount works and I can see the files (see above) from my regular linux user account. If I make a test file in /mnt and soft link to that, I can see it on the web. So it's just the mount to the vista machine that seems to be a problem. It's supposed to be a simple read-only mount and the apache login should (I think) be able to see the same generic root access permissions.
log from apache: [Mon Apr 26 20:39:42 2010] [error] [client 99.99.99.99] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /home/user1/pub_html/Music, referer: https://xx.xx.xx/~user1/music.html
The credentials have a login and password that matches a special read-only account on Vista. I can see the files on the system from Linux, but not via the web. As mentioned above, a different link to the same /mnt area works fine via the web. I've tried several different mount options with no success.
The IP address I want for the gateway computer is 192.168.1.100 As I have 'sharing' enabled in Network manager, there is no provision there to specify the IP address for eth0. That is, cannot manually set it there. Every time I boot up, the IP address changes to

I have sent the last 5 hours (it is now 6am) and I am in no mood for lazy know-it-all'sI have returned begging and crawling back to Ubuntu (I waited a day for 10.10 to be released) and I have again stumbled across why I go back to Micro$oft's Windows.All I want to do it have a permanent share to my nas, which is on my Netgear DGND3300.I can reach it by Place -> Network -> Windows Network -> NAKALEEN -> NAS -> USB_Storagebut for the life of me I can't make it permanent. I need it as all my Movies/TV/eBooks are on this.I have followed every and I mean EVERY option I have found on Google with no luck. From the fstab/mount option to the gvfs option (as you can guess both failed)The reason it is *$&^%$^&%$ me off it that Windows can do it with a couple of mouse presses (Map Network drive). Making Ubuntu a joke in this area.

Like KVM switch, but what kind of risks or problems could come up? What kind of tweaks could I apply to add extra security? I would like to do a ssh connection between them, but I have had major issues with it in the past. What kind of options do I have?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been successfully creating permanent windows share mounts on Ubuntu since v8.04 by following the instructions in [URL] My fstab file has this line
Code:
//192.168.0.2/office_d /media/office_d cifs credentials=/home/peter/.smbcredentials,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0
which in the past has mounted the windows share without any problems.For some reason this doesn't work anymore. The .smbcredentials file is in the same place it has been since it was created. I have verified that .smbcredentils is in the correct place.In order to find out what the problem might be, I tried
Code:
dmesg | tail
and got the following response

I can't pretend that I understand the full message, but it seems to say that it can't find/read the .smbcredentials file and as a result can't mount the share. When I change the code to
Code:
192.168.0.2/office_d /media/office_d cifs username=xxxx,password=xxxx 0 0
where xxxx is my username and password, the share mounts without any problems.I can't work out what I am doing wrong. Has the code changed? For obvious security reasons I don't want to place the username and password in the fstab file where everyone can see it.
My Fedora 10 install runs from a single PC, from a single location. I'd like the connection, via wireless, to automatically connect to my home network. Right now, I suspect that NetManager scans all the options first.But that's a waste of time. How do I set things up to skip all that and just grab the only connection that will work?I have NetManager set up to "Auto linksys" with MTU set for "automatic" too. I've Googled around for this, but maybe have missed something. Too often, at login I do NOT connect though the network is available. I suspect there's a way to lock this in that I have not yet discovered...

I'm having some difficulty setting my txpower setting on my atheros wifi card. I am using ath_pci driver on ubuntu 8.1 64 bit. I can set the txpower to whatever, 12dBm for example, it accepts the change but quickly reverts back to a default value of 8dBm. Power saving is off. How can I make these changes permanent, or adjust the default value?

I am using Lubuntu 10.10 and have installed my application that I need. What I need is a link to the desktop that will execute the program from the /usr/share/test directory. When I execute the program I need to use "Sudo" in order to run in. So my questions is how would I add a symbolic link the desktop with the approipiate permission to run the executable. Also I need to add a custom icon the desktop.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIn the ordering of files I keep I need links to directories. Sometimes I even need to move directories to new locations. I have tried using symlinks, but they become dead when I move the directory they point to. I have tried hard links, but I haven't found any Linux file system that would support hard linked directories. How can I achieve that a complex structure of directories (currently with symlinks for directories and hard links for files) keep symlinks live when directories are moved?
- is there any utility that updates symlinks when a directory is moved?
- is there any Linux filesystem that supports hard linked directories?
- is there any good Linux interface to the new NTFS (the only file system I know to support automatically updating directory links, called directory junctions)?
Whenever we insert CD,it creates a shortcut link in desktop.Can we list this link name by using any command? I am using Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my dell inspiron mini 10; dual-booting it with Windows 7.
I've looked at a couple of other threads about problems with the wireless card in the netbook and about problems with the wireless router. However, this problem doesn't seem to be the same; the netbook can see other wireless networks, just not mine, and other people seemed to be able to access their wireless network for a short period of time before they stopped being able to access it.
I can't see the wireless network on the D-link DIR-615 at all in ubuntu, though it still works in windows 7.
I've tried reinstalling the broadcom STA drivers as per this link and reinstalling but this hasn't made any difference.
What things should I consider trying in order to resolve this?
Ps. As a side note, my other ubuntu laptop (a toshiba equium A100) cannot see this network either, but has no problem connecting to other, although oddly it couldn't detect it in windows either before I put in a new harddrive and installed ubuntu on it.
I have just built my self a new computer, since it will become a media center its not that powerful so i decided on using ubuntu instead of windows. Only one problem so far, my D-Link dwa-131 is not recognized and i can't connect to the internet except with a Ethernet cable. So how do i make my computer recognize the dwa-131?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI feel I am really really close at getting this connected.
The native ath9k driver did not work. I blacklisted this driver and then proceeded to load a windows driver that came with the card through ndiswrapper.
The system sees my wireless router but I could not get connected to the router. I get the circle of death of it trying to connect though.
I then replaced the Network Manager with Wicd.
I try and connect, after setting the preshared key, and it stops at the very end saying it could not obtain an IP address.
I then try to set a static IP, and at the very end it comes back with, "could not contact wireless access point".
I feel I am so close to getting this connected I just don't know if it is a setting on my router I need to change or to look for a different driver. Driver should be fine but I'm no expert.
I have two other computers wireless'ly connected to this router currently and one of them is connected via a dual boot, Ubuntu and Win7, so at the very least these two computers don't have any issues connecting to the router.
Or I am just going to live with WinXP installed on it instead. BTW: I had no problems getting a wireless connection from this laptop when I had WinXP installed, but I have since wiped it off with a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10. Goes to show how much I want to rid myself of Windows on the laptop.
I even installed 8.04 to see if I could make a connection with that version but to no avail I could not. I have since reloaded 9.10.
I've got an oldish laptop which I've installed 9.10 on. I plugged in a D-Link DWA-140 USB wifi dongle to see if it can connect to my wifi router. It quite happily flashed it's light, and when I click on the wifi icon on the top panel it lists a bunch of wifi networks including my own. However, when I select my network and enter the passphrase it doesn't connect, and just keeps asking for the passphrase/key again
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get my wireless card to work in my desktop, which I recently upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04. It worked right out of the box in 8.04, but I'm finding it impossible to kick start in the newer LTS version. My wirless card is: D-link WDA2320 The Ubuntu wireless card Wiki sticky note at the top of this section supports my problems, stating: "Worked out of the box in 7.04, 7.10 and 8.04. WPA worked automatically in 7.10 and 8.04. In 9.04, works out of the box, but system hangs periodically with the ath5k driver; you must instead enable the madwifi driver in the Hardware Drivers dialog to get a stable system. In 9.10, does not work out of the box."
Obviously, it does not give me any information on 10.04, so I'm not sure it is even possible to get working. Assuming it would even work, I tried looking for madwifi in the Hardware drivers dialog (assuming they are referring to the option through System/Administration?), but cannot find it, or figure out how to search for it. Following the rules suggested for resolving wireless problems, here is my info:

I trying to connect my linux machine( kernal 2.6)with a D-Link WBR-1310 router (Firmware fully updated). Internet was working on the computer when it was connected to other network. DLink is DHCP Server enabled. The XP boxes had no problem connecting to the internet automatically. My linux box was having trouble (absolutely no network detection.) on D link and port of linux lights are green. for the Wired Connection I set the configuration to Automatic Configuration (DHCP). I was unable to ping my router at 192.168.0.1 (Destination Host Unreachable).I'm not sure what to do, but I suspect it may be the DHCP client settings.
