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.

As a relative noob with Linux (Ubuntu) I was enjoying learning stuff with Ubuntu Karmic - and everything I tried seemed to work even after my inexpert fiddling - which was nice! However, since installing Ubuntu 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 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 (Windows Err Mssg: You Do Not Have Permission To Access..

PS I posted this several days ago on the Ubuntu forum but there's been no replies at all - I was wondering if the question is so daft that they think.

Am currently building a new PC and will be using both ubuntu 10.04 and win7. I have 2x 320GB drives and 1x 1TB drive. I plan to use a drive each for the OSs (win7 + nix) and the 1tb for my home partition. 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.

no entries exist in the /dev folder for hdc,cdrom,dvd, or any other drive or drive type than hda. The only other similar device is sg0 which doesn't work either. I have tried every variation of mount I can find with every available drive and drive type and nothing works, but this is the drive I installed FC14 with, and it installed perfectly (except for forgetting where it came from!!)Do I have to install a module or recompile the kernel just to get linux to recognize the drive it came from?

I am having a problem getting my cd/dvdrom drives detected on my music a media player programs.
All of the media player programs including mplayer identify my devices as /dev/cdrom.
When I run the wodim --devices command this is what I get:
The /dev/cdrom reads like this /dev/cdrom -> sr0.

I have two computers in my local network one with Ubentu Karmic 64 and one with Win7 64. The problem is in file sharing. I would like to be able to have access from one computers to another in both ways. But now I have only access from ubuntu to windows shares. On win machine I'm able to view ubuntu shared folders and printers but not able to browse them (or use printers from windows). I tried to change samba configuration, but my knowledge is to poor to solve this problem

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?

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

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.

Have followed swerdna's guide as in the past and my wife from her win7 computer can see and has read write access to all the shares & can print to the shared printer attached to the Opensuse computer etc. However, when I try to access her Win7 shares from my opensuse computer I am presented with a username / password prompt. Here is my smb.conf
[code]...
have followed swerdna's guide (as mentioned previously) and set 'password protected sharing' to off on the win7 computer.

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.

I've already set up my home network to work smoothly with Samba, mainly meaning that my HTPC running Win7 can share the user home folder. So currently is simply have a Nautilus bookmark set to 'smb://win7server/users/username/' and it connects just fine.
Now, I want to use 'mount' to make a connection to this same folder spot such that it is seen as part of the native file system. I've tried this: sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.2.101/users/username/ /mnt/win7server
But I get a 'wrong fs type' warning. WTF? I thought that windows was cifs? You guys have any pointers to how to mount this? BTW, I must absolutely mount this file system, as I'm running some programs built with Open Motif, which do not support Samba.

Win-7 Ubuntu Dual Boot, Drive Presence Issue I recently built up a new computer and set it up for dual-boot with Win7 and Ubuntu. Initially I had some issues with the boot management but I discovered that GRUB works well and Paragon's Partition Manager does not. I reloaded Ubuntu using GRUB and got the system working exactly as I would like it to. Several weeks later I volunteered to assist my brother-in-law's family with getting their Unbutu system working properly with a new Brother MFC295CN printer. I brought the printer home so that I could work with it on my system.
I did get the printer to work correctly but in the process I had to reload Ubuntu because I made a few mistakes on my way to success. When I reloaded Ubuntu, I accidentally loaded it onto my system's second drive, drive F. Before, I had Ubuntu in a partition on drive C. Ubuntu works from the F drive and GRUB allows me to boot either Win 7 or Ubuntu, as desired. I will note that the earlier version of Ubuntu on drive C has been removed although the partition is still there. GRUB shows entries for this second copy of Ubuntu along with Win 7 and the entry for the functioning Ubuntu OS.
Here's where I am getting into trouble. Initially, everything looked fine. Win 7 worked, Ubuntu worked. Then, after a reboot to Win7, I noticed that my F drive was missing. I searched all around the system controls, tried loading new hardware, etc, etc, but the drive did not show up anywhere. Rebooting into Ubuntu showed that the drive was in fact still there and all the date in the large data partition was still there. Using Ubuntu's partition manager I discovered that the data partition was not enabled. I enabled the partition and rebooted back into Win7. No go.
The F drive was not present. My next step was to try Paragon's Partition Manager software, which I have a paid-for copy of. It would not see the F drive either. Using the Paragon recovery disk I had made earlier with the Paragon software, I restarted the system. The recovery software saw both drives correctly and the partitions were set up correctly. I ran the boot corrector software but I did not mess around too much as earlier experience had indicated that some of the Paragon features do not work well with Ubuntu. I shut down and rebooted into Win7. Success! The F drive was there.
But later, when I restarted the system the F drive was gone again. I tried a few things then rebooted using the recovery disk again. As before, on the next restart the F drive was present. I didn't take the time to reboot the system twenty times, but it seems apparent that something in the boot records is preventing Win7 from seeing the F drive correctly unless I boot from the Paragon recovery disk and then boot Win7.
No knowing a lot about what goes into a boot record and how either GRUB or boot.ini manage things, I am at a loss as to why I'm seeing this inconsistency with the F drive. A probable solution would be to remove both the second (old Ubuntu) partition on the C drive and the Ubuntu partion on the F drive and reload Unbutu all over. This would put me back to where I was in the beginning. However, this seems a bit inelegant as all the other attributes of the system are working well, is there a better way to address the problem?

I want to share a media drive between Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04. This drive will hold all of my pictures so that I can edit them in Windows with Photoshop. What is my best bet?
A) Format the drive as NTFS. Are there any problems that I should be aware of with NTFS in Ubuntu?
B) Format the drive as ext2, use Ext2Fsd to use it in windows? Will this be seamless?
C) Use ext3 + Ext2Fsd. I know that there might be problems with ext4, but does ext3 work seamlessly in windows 7?

Edit: I have a Sony Vaio FJ170 laptop with Phoenix BIOS version R0060X6 & a broken DVD Drive. The BIOS doesn't support booting from USB (it does have 'External Drive Boot' option, but my USB stick doesn't get listed under boot devices in BIOS when connected to the laptop).
A few days ago I upgraded to Windows7, then installed Lucid through WUBI. With the help of another thread of mine (here), I changed the default boot option & timeout of Windows to zero to directly boot into Ubuntu. So far it was good. But recently I tried to get back to Windows for some reason but could not succeed as the F8 key no longer brings up the Window's Advance Boot Menu.
Is there another way to restore the dual boot menu timeout to get back to the Windows installation. Or even better, is there some way to make a fresh install of Windows & Ubuntu side-by-side without DVD drive. I am only 14 and absolutely new to Linux. The network booting methods given on the Internet were too complex for me to understand. I like Ubuntu but also need Windows for programming C++ & Photoshop CS4.

I am new to linux , I installed Suse 11.3 a week ago on my new iMac 27'' core i7 and my experience have been wonderful so far. However I would like to install windows beside Suse (for games and windows only apps). I used bootcamp to create a 200G partition for Suse, and I would like to partition the bootcamp further to install windows beside Suse, and choose the OS at boot time using rEFIt. I searched google and couldn't find a guide for installing windows 7 when linux is installed first.
1- I want to learn how to partition the boot camp drive using suse to create an empty partition for windows install.
2- I want to learn how to install windows 7 on the mentioned partition without harming any boot configurations, as I said I want to be able to choose from the OSes at boot time using rEFIt bare in mind that the current installed OSes are suse 11.3 and OS X.

A few weeks back I was trying to install this (alongside windows 7) and no matter what I tried it would not install. I tried both 9.04 32 bit and 9.10 64 bit. Each screen (language, keyboard, etc) took about 20 minutes to load, and when I finally got to the install it always stopped at about 2/3 percent, giving some type of I/O error. No matter how many times i reburned and redownloaded. (old thread if you're curious)
I eventually gave up but then realized I had an old xbox hard drive hooked up that I cannot boot or read or do anything. It was set as hard drive 0 in windows hard drive manager or whatever. So I unplugged it. Now my windows drive is drive 0, and I have a second internal drive.
I finally got back to installing this. I avoided the graphical installer at first because it was so slow, opting for the alternate cd. It went fast but when I tried to partition it was unclear to me which disk i was partitioning. Doesnt matter because when i clicked ok, it froze at 0% for 30 minutes so i had to do a hard restart. Windows ran the disk check, etc, etc, I checked the disk management in windows and it was just a single windows partition as it should be.
So I tried the graphical cd again instead. It goes really fast through the screens now, HOWEVER it will not detect my drive 0 windows drive! Just my second internal drive which of course I can't install on without wiping the entire thing. I have installed kubuntu 9.04 dual booted with windows xp on this exact hard drive, over a year ago successfully, so I don't get it. What do i do??

I can dual-boot on my PC by using my SATA drive for Windows & a second IDE (PATA) one for Ubuntu.However when I try to install both OS's on the Primary SATA drive side by side only one is detected (and I have no option to boot the other).
I have a friend with the same problem who is trying to boot Win7 and Ubuntu off the same SATA drive and the same issue occurs on his (He doesn't have the second drive as an option as I do).
Does anyone know a way to get side by side installation to work on one (SATA) drive? Failing this is it possible to boot Ubuntu off and External hard drive and still be able to dual boot Windows & Ubuntu?

I finally have my ubuntu up and running. I have a USB-drive which is often connected to my Ubuntu-machine. I want to share this via Samba but I can't set the user-rights. If I try to acces the file (via windows machine) I can see the directory but if I open it it gives me: \Computermediadirectory is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. I tried setting the rights but it just 'changes back immediately'. I found some posts about not being able to set rights via ubuntu on a ntfs disk. If I mount it via fstab it will give an error when the USB-drive is not connected. So that's no option. Is there a way to share this drive via my Samba server? I did get access to a partition on my linux-machine, to I assume my samba-settings are correct.
