I have just added a second 1TB HD to my Ubuntu box and I can see it listed when I run blkid. But how do I
- reference it so I can use it as local storage
- share it on my LAN
It doesn't seem that many others have had this problem so I thought I'd ask here.
Have a server running Ubuntu with 1 internal and 1 external drive. Have a folder shared with samba on the internal drive that can be accessed, however, when sharing the entire external or just a folder on it I get the "You do not have permission to access" error on the Windows clients.
When sharing on Ubuntu I go to properties, share and then tick share, allow others to write as well as guest access. Clicking create share then says it will have to set the permissions and I let it. It's not accessible. When trying to set permissions manually in the Permissions tab it doesn't let me choose anything, when choosing Read and Write for "other" users it reverts back to nothing as soon as it's chosen.
I've tried creating a symlink from the mount point to within the home directory and sharing that, even getting chmod to change the permissions so they're viewable in ls -la, but it still isn't accessible. Is there something really simple I'm missing here like externals not being easily shared? Thinking I might have to crack it open and stuff it inside the server. Oh and the external is NTFS, if that would make a difference.
i have 3 computers in the LAN, 1 server (ubuntu 11.10 server), 2 desktop-pcs (1 windows 7, 1 ubuntu 11.10 desktop)... i shared some folders from the server, the windows and the ubuntu pc, but i can't see them. neither on windows, nor on the ubuntu desktop, however, i can access them if i enter the computername (or ip, both works).
when a friend comes with his windows-laptop and connects to the lan, he can see the shared folders of the windows machine and i can see his shared folders, but we both can't see one of the ubuntu-computers and the ubuntu desktop can't see any share at all...
is there a way to tell ubuntu, respectively nautilus that it bcasts the network and finds the shares?
i have alrdy installed winbind, wins, samba and configured samba to use wins and added wins to /etc/nsswitch.conf.
I was wondering if it is possible to share the resources between several PCs to do a common work. For example rendering a video/image or compiling something.
My question is more for the Desktop Ubuntu but if it is not possible then the Server version then. This is in regards with recent and updated versions of Ubuntu. What I mean with this is 11.10 and above.
I'm looking to mirror my Ubuntu destop onto my TV by using my PS3. All done via wifi. Similar to the 'AirPlay Mirroring' in Mac OS X Mountain Lion. http://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/features.html#airplay
Is this possible? How would I go about it. To be clear, I don't want to share movies in particular, rather to send my screen exactly as I see it.
