Does anyone know where you can get an Ubuntu 11.0 VM already created? I am trying to test Ubuntu in Virtual Box and didn't want to have to go through an install it there is Vm's already created.
Thanks.
I am trying to access Ubuntu 11.10 using Remote Desktop from a Win 7 machine. I installed xrdp. I launch the Windows remote desktop client and login in. I then get prompted for the user name and password.
It then logs in, but all I see is the background, no menus, nothing. I have to kill remote desktop by closing it.
Even if I right click , nothing. Any ideas???
The only reason I even went down the RDP road was that VNC would not work either, even after I enabled desktop sharing. I am in a bind as I need to connect to Ubuntu via Windows. In version 8 Ubuntu this was not an issue and it just worked.
Since I have left Windows, I am looking for a software that will replace ViceVersa. I need something that is highly recommended for file syncing among the Linux / Ubuntu users as I am new to this area.
What do you recommend? Which is the best? I read about one called rsync and another called Conduit.
If possible I would also like a tool that would have GUI interface, and once I get more familiar with Linux a command line sync utility would also be good.
Main goal is to backup everything local, nothing on line, but all backups that are local will be to external disks and syncing between computers.
Another feature would be able to see a preview of what is ready to be backed up / synced before it actually executes the operation.
Thanks...
For the life of me I cannot figure this one out.
I have samba installed and set up on the ubuntu box and on the Win7 box I CAN SEE all the shares I created.
I created two users on ubuntu that map to the users in windows. On ubuntu they are both admins, user A & B on Windows User A is admin and user B is poweruser.
User A can see both shares and access them, but user B can see everythin, but only access the homes directory, the other directory throws an error.
I have two drives in Ubuntu and this is the smb.config file (I am new to samba):
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
wins support = no
dns proxy = yes
name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
security = user
encrypt passwords = true
passdb backend = tdbsam
obey pam restrictions = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
pam password change = yes
map to guest = bad user
; usershare max shares = 100
usershare allow guests = yes
And here is the share section:
Both user A & B can access this from windows. No problems.
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
Both User A & B can see this share, but only user A can access it. User B get an error thrown.
[stuff]
comment = Unixmen File Server
path = /media/data/appinstall/
browseable = yes
;writable = no
read only = yes
hosts allow =
The permission for the media/data/appinstall/ is as follows:
appInstall properties:
share name: stuff
Allow others to create and delete files in this folder is cheeked
Guest access (for people without a user account) is checked
permissions:
Owner: user A
Folder Access: Create and delete files
File Access: ---
Group: user A
Folder Access: Create and delete files
File Access: ---
Others
Folder Access: Create and delete files
File Access: ---
I am at a loss and need to get this work. Any ideas?
The goal is to have a setup like this. 3 users on window machines. Each user on the data drive will have their own personal folder where they are the ones that can only access, then another folder where 2 of the users will have read only and one user full access.
I had this setup before on windows, but after what happened I am NEVER going back to windows, so Unix here I am to stay!
I am really stuck. I am running Ubuntu 11. I could reformat again and put on version 10 if that would make life easier. I have been dealing with this since Wed. 3pm.
Thanks.
