Ubuntu :: Samba In Virtualbox - Sharing Folders With Win7?

Aug 11, 2010

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?

Slackware :: VirtualBox Guest On Win7 Host - Folder Sharing?

Jul 13, 2010

I have a Win7 laptop with the latest version of VirtualBox installed. It's a dual core proc with ram to spare. So, I installed Slack64-13.1 and it rocks! I'm really impressed that Slack is running at what appears to be native speed, but in virtual machine. Hardware response is normal, WIFI and LAN are both working great for my normal tasks.So, I downloaded a few much needed patches, and new ISO image for one of my old desktop PCs. Now, my problem is I can't connect my USB cdwriter to my virtual slackware or share folders in the Win7 install with the virtual slackware. I read a few of tutorials on the Oracle VBox website, and several of the ones here on LQ, and none of them seem to solve my problems.

Ubuntu :: Difficulties Sharing Folders Using Samba?

Feb 21, 2011

I 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.

Software :: OpenSUSE - Map Users Folders From Samba Sharing

Aug 24, 2010

There are 3 computers:

- OpenSUSE (Workstation configured to log in using Active Directory Information)
- First Windows Server (Domain Controller)
- Second Windows Server (Provide shared folders for users to use)

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.

Fedora Networking :: Unknown Samba Password - Use Samba For File Sharing Like On A Windows Home Network

Jul 17, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: Sharing DVDROM Drive With Win7?

May 21, 2010

However, since installing Lucid I've spent loads of time trying to re-establish the share I had under Karmic whereby my Ubuntu PC's DVDROM was automatically available to my LAN (simple router) connected Win7 PC. After a couple of days effort I've got to the point where I can access the CD or DVD mounted in Ubuntu, from Win7 but I cannot access the files within the CD or DVD (Err Mssg: You Do Not Have Permission To Access......).

I have noticed that the mount point seems to be the name of the disk under Lucid whereas under Karmic it was fixed as something like cdrom1. So if I edit smb.conf I can't specify the mount point as it depends on the disk name. Though to be honest I have no idea if this is anything to do with the problem! To save what little hair I have left I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to have my Ubuntu PC's DVDROM available on my Win7 PC for read & write.

Ubuntu Installation :: On Raid 0 - Win7 In VirtualBox ?

Mar 28, 2011

I'm waiting on a 2TB drive to come in so I can repurpose my gaming rig for Ubuntu. (Ok, its still going to be a gaming rig but I want to do 90% of my work/gaming in Linux) I'm thinking that rather than dual-booting I want to run the windows side of the house from a VM via Virtualbox.

Ubuntu runs fine with my hardware atm (have 10.10 installed on a secondary sata drive) and recognizes the RAID array that windows is currently installed on (gigabyte 870A-UD3 motherboard, I think Ubuntu's using fakeRAID to mount and view the drive, not very knowledgeable on raid and had the system built for me, but I know I'm using the gigabyte on-chip bios configuration for the raid)

I'd like to know:

1) if anyone knows of a good guide for dealing with this particular RAID controller beyond my owner's manual. (I read that 10.10 fakeRAID pretty much sets itself up)

2) should my win7 partition for the VM (I'd like it to be a dedicated partition so that I can boot into it if I have to do something in windows that Virtualbox can't handle) be on the Raid Array or the 2TB WD Caviar Green (low performance/power consumption drive)?

3. since I have a 2tb raid 0 array and a 2tb drive coming in, can I setup raid to mirror the contents of the 2 raid 0 drives onto the WD Caviar drive or do they all 3 have to be identical drives. (I think the other 2 are 1TB WD Caviar Black drives)

4. Any particular advice on partitioning? I was just thinking of /, /home and swap being separate on the raid but otherwise leaving the standalone drive as one big partition or splitting between windows partition and an otherwise large storage space.

My home partition will store my music, videos, docs, Virtual Machines (note file sizes are sometimes bigger than 4GB!). What file system should i use? FAT32 will not work because of the large file size of the virtual machines.

Ubuntu Networking :: Sharing 10.10 Network With Win7 Over Cat5 Cable?

Mar 6, 2011

Im a long time Ubuntu user (since 5.04), but networks were never my speciality, I have a desktop running 10.10, connected to the internet trough a US robotics modem (connection eth1), and i want to share its network with my laptop running win7, over a cat5 cable (connection eth0), but the problem is I dont seem to understand what i am doing wrong, what the missing steps required, or in which end is the problem (either ubuntu or windows side).

From what I could grasp was needed googling about the subject, i already set the eth0 connection to share with other computers (in network manager edit connections auto eth0 ipv4 configuration set to share with other computers). Also using the cli set eth0 for static ip using :

Code:
sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 Now the question is what i am missing? or is everything needed already done and i just have to properly configure the win7 side (which i already checked several times)?

Here is my ifconfig output:

Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Endereo de HW 00:01:29:a6:55:fe
inet end.: 10.42.43.1 Bcast:10.42.43.255 Masc:255.255.255.0
endereo inet6: fe80::201:29ff:fea6:55fe/64 Escopo:Link

Server :: Sharing Files From A Dual Boot Ubuntu/Fedora With Win7

Jan 26, 2011

I have one computer with windows 7 (computername = windowspc) connected through a modem router to a computer running Ubuntu 10.10 (computername = linuxpc). Had Samba setup and working between them.

Decided to check out Fedora 14 (computername = linuxpc). so set up dual boot on the on the Ubuntu box and installed samba. When Fedora is running Win 7 only sees shares for Fedora. If Ubuntu is running win 7 cannot connect to any shares stating a bad file path. I understand that both linux oses use the same ip address and thats probably were Win7 must have problems.

Ran nbtstat r in windows and was able to swap the situation around i.e. win7 sees Ubuntu but not Fedora.

I would like to be able to set it up so that when logged on to either of the linux oses I would be able to see shares from both partitions in Win7. Or if thats not possible, to differentiate them in some way so that Win7 would recognise which os was running and display the shares accordingly.

Ubuntu :: Sharing Folders Between Users?

Feb 14, 2010

I 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.

Ubuntu :: Windows File Sharing From Virtualbox?

Jan 25, 2011

I use VirtualBox at work, where windows7 is host and ubuntu 10.04 is guest operating system.

I want to access my windows drives, folders in ubuntu, when i did sudo blkid or mount or fdisk -l, i cannot see all the drives on my machine.

So i finally did with shared folders concept. Now i can't mount them wherever i want, but when i say automount in the virtualbox settings->sharedfolder, then it auto mounts in /media/E-drive??

But to see, copy,edit or access those media files, i need to be sudo?? With normal user i can't use those /media files.

Suggest a good method of sharing files from windows7 to ubuntu in virtualbox

Ubuntu :: Moving And Sharing The Places Folders?

Aug 9, 2011

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.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Guest In VirtualBox On Win7 Broken Host-only Adapter?

Jun 5, 2011

Setup:

1. Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit Professional HOST Operating System
2. Oracle VirtualBox 4.0.6r71416 on top of Windows 7
3. Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx 32-bit GUEST Operating System in VirtualBox

I successfully installed the above configuration on May 15, 2011. I had some difficulty getting the Host-Only VirtualBox Adapter to work. I was forced to make a subtle change to the Windows Registry in order to get the Adapter to work correctly. I was successful. I used the Debian Update Manager to update my installation of Ubuntu. Nothing changed on the Windows 7 side. Now, Windows 7 says that the Host-only adapter is enabled, but I don't have a connection to the Ubuntu OS. I can't use PuTTY or WinSCP. When I invoke ipconfig on the Windows side, 192.168.56.101 is the IPv4 address. When I invoke ifconfig on the Ubuntu side, there isn't anything.

Ubuntu :: Sharing Folders Between Dual-boot Options

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: Sharing Specific Folders Instead Of All Of /home?

Apr 25, 2010

I'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.
