I recently bought an Archos 101, and it says on the archos website [URL].. I can stream movies from my pc to my archos using Samba, and something called UPnP. I need help on how to use this feature. Anyone willing to teach me how? I'm still sorta new to ubuntu.

I got myself an Archos 5 and pretty much have it triple booted using OpenAOS [url] but the partition I added with FroYo that I wanted in particular won't boot up.
BUT My real problem is when going into Archos mode and plugging it in to my Ubuntu laptop, it insists on being some strangely mounted thing 'MTP' or something. I can view the files and folders via Nautilus, but I can't copy them, move them or add to them. I need to open a file with gedit to set up a patch. Nope! Gedit says it's a 'gphoto2' type mount thing.
"Could not open the file gphoto2://[usb:002,006]/menu.lst."
I would not be surprised if Rythmbox set it up like this, I tried it because of the big button in Nautilus when I open the device. Oops...
I have a new portable media player, an Archos 5. I very much like it because there is much more I can do with it than with my iPod.
I managed to get it to work in Amarok once, to transfer my library from the iPod to it. Now, I can't get Amarok to read it. Everytime I try, it freezes up on me.
Has anybody had any better luck using a different program with the Archos 5? Is there maybe a way to make Amarok work with it?
How to get the touchscreen working in Ubuntu 10.10 on Archos 9? I have so far managed, through reading various threads on various forums, to get the screen working as a touchpad with the axis inverted and flipped. The optical track-pad and mouse buttons on the left are also working. The eGalaxTouch application loads but gives me a message "No Touch Controller Found" before going into an about screen.

Windows still boots fine so my guess is it's not a hard drive failure that's causing it.

when i am using win xp to logon on samba domain the windows XP does not load profiles from samba. I think that the problem is NTUSER.DAT storing in /home/user/profile

I want to use samba for file sharing like on a Windows home network. Actually they are all Linux machines but nfs is too complicated. On my host machine I installed samba and system-config-samba. I created a new share for /home, check marked writable and visible and put access to everybody. For preferences-->server settings--> security the "authentication mode" is set to user, encrypt passwords is no, and guest account is no guest account. Under preferences-->samba users I added myself as a user with the same windows user name as my Linux user name and the same password.
My client is a virtualbox fedora (used for testing purposes but actual clients will be real computers on my home network). I entered the address smb://192.168.1.184. When asked for the user name and password I put my regular user name and password since that was what I set in samba users. However, the password dialog keeps coming up and won't let met into my own computer. If I quit it says something like access is denied. How can I get my home network back? I liked this feature when my home computers ran XP but I switched them to Fedora 12.
Start>Run>\192.168.0.1storage gives me "The specified network password is not correct." It lists my domain as "ANTEC" which is the name of my computer, though I've changed the workgroup to WELLS. I've run:

Ive managed to install samba, I've shared a folder. I can access from a Windows 7 machine via \ubuntupublic. I can put files in the folder form the ubuntu machine and edit them on the windows box. I can put files in the folder/share from the Windows box but then I cannot edit them on the Ubuntu machine (they are read only and have a "Lock" over them). I can fix this by going to the properties of the file/folder in Windows and manually assigning "Everybody" full control (then the lock disappears and all is well.) I want read/write access to all the folders contents from both machines all the time (security is NOT a concern I WANT the permissions wide open) what am I doing wrong?

After upgrading to 9.10 when ever a samba dependent upgrade is attempted through the update manager the process hangs up at "configuring samba".I REMOVED samba, samba-common, winbind, etc.I tried-

$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install samba

I have a small home network. Computers A and B are both running Kubuntu Lucid. Computer A has an external USB hard drive attached, partitioned ext3 and mounted to a folder in computer A's home folder. Computer C is running Vista. I installed Samba, and computer C can access all the files on both computers A and B. But using Samba, computers A and B can't see each other OR computer C. That's not really important to me, but they can't
So I installed NFS and got computers A and B talking that way. I like NFS better. It's faster than Samba. BUT, computer B can't access computer A's USB drive, and I need it to do that. When I'm using computer B and I click on the folder the drive is mounted to, the file manager just shows the folder as empty.
I installed 9.04 last fall on my computer (switching from Win XP). I wanted to make sure that it would work for the 2-PC LAN I share with my wife, so I left XP on her machine and set up samba. It worked adequately until I switched her over to 9.04 a few months ago, and I tinkered with it and also tried to install nfs, but without any luck.
Recently I decided to try again, so I started with nfs (as recommended for Ubuntu-only networks and spent several days trying to get it going, with no luck. The last few days I've been trying to get samba going, again with no luck. (I've spent hours and hours on sites offering help with nfs and samba, googling them and searching this forum, trying different tweaks to smb.conf, etc. I've made some progress -- and learned a lot about linux, but....)
So, I am convinced that if I can clean out everything samba (and maybe nfs?), and start over, I just might be able to get back to some productive work.I've been learning a bit about using the terminal, but it would be very helpful to know the exact commands to use (I had to google "foo" today to understand what a site was trying to convey with a sample command.)
a few times a day I have to run sudo service smbd restart on my primary server to get samba working again.y working i mean being able to see the server in the workgroup and being able to type smb://phoenix/ and have a result. please help me troubleshoot this.env: server: 10.10 x64, clients: 10.10 32 & 64, 10.04, winxp all affected the same waylast time it occurred within 2 hours after a reboot. here's the config.

Though others could easily access my shares in a passwordless way, I am being aksed for password when I try to access their shares. They are running windows machines. I could easily access their shres without password from my windows setup.
I have a problem connecting my OS X and Windows XP machines to an external drive that is attached via USB to my Ubuntu 10 server. I am running Samba and I believe that my config file (shown below) is appropriate.
Both the Mac and XP machines can see the server and can access a shared folder on the hard drive of the server machine. Both the Mac and XP machines can see the external drive listed in Finder (Mac) and Network (XP). However, when either machine attempts to access the contents of the drive, I get the following error messages:
Windows XP Machine [NAME OF EXTERNAL DRIVE] is not accessible. You might not have permissions to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

i got 2 pc's on the same network, one runs linux ubuntu and the other win7 64bits. I installed samba for ubuntu since it seems to be the way to go to share folders and printers between linux and windows. Now I can see the folders on windows7 from linux but I cant see my linux machine on windows7.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems in accessing a storage device (NAS 200 Linksys) in a network via Ubuntu. I think the problem is with the configuration of Samba.
On my computer the login and password are the same in Ubuntu (9.04), samba and Win XP.
Under windows I view the device in the network and, when I click on its icon, a window opens with the directories that have access.
Under Ubuntu, I can see all the computers in my workgroup and the device. However when I click on its icon only a blank window is opened.
I share printers without problems.
In my settings for the samba security = user.
Does anyone know if there is any configuration that allows access to the NAS?

I have an Ubuntu 9.10 Samba file server. I have set up Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix in a home network which also has Windows XP home and Vista computers already present in the network. The XP and Vista machines have no problem accessing the file shares.
The server is running mhddfs with FlexRaid. The security is set to share level access. I have a hosts allow line in the smb.conf file to permit access to certain IP addresses and have added the 10.04 netbook remix IP address to this hosts allow line.
I cannot access shares from the 10.04netbook remix machine if the hosts allow line is active, but have no problem from the windows machines. If i comment out the hosts allow line, all machines can access the share, including the netbook remix machine. I am fairly new to Linux and would appreciate any help in solving this problem.
Just installed the new version of Ubuntu and having problems.
