linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – So I have ubuntu 11.10 desktop 64bit installed. Once I boot in i browse to a folder (on a mdadm array) i want to share on the network (to other windows and linux machines) i right click the folder and go to file sharing and select Share this folder, and alow others etc and allow guest and it works perfect, until I reboot and it loses all the settings. Does anyone know why this is happening? Maybe because i am not sharing them out as root? i can configure it manually via samba but this has got me curious. (HowTos)

Stories similar to File Sharing lose settings after reboot

Hi everyone, Running ubuntu 10.04 I set up personal file sharing by going to System->Preferences->Personal File Sharing and clicking enable. I then installed Samba, and installed apache and dnssd. I then right clicked on my folder i wanted to share selected Sharing Options and clicked share folder. It worked beautifully and after a reboot could access the folder from my other machine.

I have found file sharing to be broken on install since 10.04.

install ubuntu 10.0X on 2 machines on same network.

Try this on both machines:

open file browser. right click on any folder. choose "sharing options". check "share this directory" click "create share" button you will be prompted to install file sharing.

I have installed 2008R2, and added the file Server Role.

Created a volume, and created a new share in that voluem (all from the File Server GUI)

When my users log to the \servername\ they do not see the share.

When I check the folder properties (right click) it says that the folder is not share)

My question:

What does File server manage if it can't set correctly the share options

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 11.04, and i have two main partitions which is

1. File system - ext3 2. Bk - ext2 (my backup partition)

The problem is when i try to share a folder(name D13) at my Backup partition, it failed. This is what i have done: 1. mounted partition bk 2.

I just tried sharing the old My Videos file folder on my 500GB Windows drive and it shows that it's shared but when I try to access it over the network it's saying I don't have permission. I checked the box to allow guests access. Still no sharing. How do I accomplish this?

In my Home Folder it shows as 500GB device with the eject symbol next to it.

Hi 10.04 64bit, NFS Server, NFS Client - no samba and not wanted

I am using NFS to share across my network. One thing I can't solve is this, for example: I share my /home folder. This folder contains links to places outside /home, specifically drives mounted in /mnt.

How can I share /home but specify folders I do not want shared within /home?

I have tried two ways for sharing a folder on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit so that I could access it on a Windows XP PC on the same switch:

1st: right-clicking the folder > properties > share > Share this folder and checking both "Allow others to create and delete files in this folder" and "Guest access (for people without a user account)"

2nd: adding the folder to Samba

I am running Ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 with samba installed and trying to share to a windows 7 machine...

I have added the win 7 username and password to samba, and also added a user with the same un & pw to the ubuntu users.

When i browse to map a network drive in win 7, I can see the folder, but the error I get states that the folder exists but I don't have permission.

Can anybody help?

I have a ubuntu server sharing some folders using samba. When a client creates a new folder or file, the permissions aren't set according to the settings in smb.conf.
