| xubuntu302 | Hi All, I need a little advise on sharing HDD using 14.04, A tiny bit of background, I have for many years had a W2K machine with 2 x 1 TiB drives, which I shared to the rest of the local network, I now have a HDD stacker that has 4 x 3TiB drives, which W2K can not see or deal with, I have been running Xubuntu 12.04 (And now X14.04) on my laptop (Which is just the best thing ever), so I have tried to shift me "sever" from W2K to | 07:06 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu302 | So sorry the question... | 07:07 |
| xubuntu302 | I can not work out how to share the USB HDD's from 14.04 to other machines, folders with Samba OK. | 07:07 |
| xubuntu302 | But entire HDD's (USB) , no idea... Have I gone down the wrong path ? | 07:08 |
| xubuntu302 | Should I be using Ubuntu server ? | 07:08 |
| AgAu | did you add them to your fstab? | 07:08 |
| xubuntu302 | Or have I missed something ? | 07:08 |
| xubuntu302 | Fstab ? | 07:08 |
| xubuntu302 | In conjunction with Samba ? | 07:09 |
| AgAu | well | 07:09 |
| AgAu | i had permission problems with samba shares until i added the hard drives to the fstab file | 07:09 |
| AgAu | what is your exact problem? | 07:09 |
| xubuntu302 | Yes, sort of, I can share folders OK, But HDD, when 'right_clicked' do not allow me to set the sharing they are greyed out.. | 07:10 |
| AgAu | did you check the permissions on them? | 07:12 |
| xubuntu302 | OK, I'll try that, Should Xubuntu 14.04 allow me to share entire HDDs to other network users ? or am I on the wrong platform ? | 07:12 |
| xubuntu302 | Have you had this working ? | 07:13 |
| xubuntu302 | Sharing HDD's that is ? | 07:13 |
| AgAu | im sharing my two storage drives with my windows network now | 07:13 |
| xubuntu302 | With Xubuntu / | 07:13 |
| xubuntu302 | ? | 07:13 |
| AgAu | yes | 07:13 |
| AgAu | as long as you have the folder permissions setup correctly and shared | 07:13 |
| AgAu | it should work | 07:13 |
| xubuntu302 | OK, Great, I'm doing something wrong... I have tied to follow the guides on_line, but they always fail me, I will try Fstab.... | 07:14 |
| AgAu | well | 07:14 |
| AgAu | the hard drives need to be mounted | 07:14 |
| xubuntu302 | Yes, They all mount OK, premissions set, I can see the shares in Windows, but no access. | 07:15 |
| AgAu | yeh but where are they mounted | 07:15 |
| AgAu | if you can't access them then the permissions aren't correct | 07:15 |
| xubuntu302 | Sorry, I'm still new this, In Xubunu I they come up on the left, with an eject button, I can access them locally. | 07:16 |
| AgAu | go to your media folder | 07:16 |
| AgAu | /media | 07:16 |
| xubuntu302 | OK | 07:16 |
| xubuntu302 | I have my Xubuntu user name as a folder | 07:17 |
| AgAu | yeh | 07:17 |
| AgAu | open that | 07:17 |
| AgAu | are your hard drives in that folder | 07:17 |
| xubuntu302 | Yes when they are plugged in. | 07:18 |
| AgAu | yeh that's why you have the permission problem | 07:18 |
| xubuntu302 | OK, They should not show here ? | 07:18 |
| AgAu | well they aren't auto mounting on startup are they? | 07:19 |
| AgAu | the fstab folder is used to automount hard drives on boot | 07:20 |
| AgAu | you should ideally create new folders for each drive under /media | 07:20 |
| AgAu | fstab file* | 07:20 |
| xubuntu302 | I think I did that, but the folder did not seem to relate to the actual HDD, will Fstab sort that ? | 07:21 |
| AgAu | okay for example | 07:21 |
| AgAu | i have my Storage drive setup to mount /media/Storage | 07:22 |
| AgAu | that /media/Storage folder needs to your user as the owner | 07:22 |
| xubuntu302 | OK | 07:22 |
| AgAu | for windows to access it | 07:22 |
| xubuntu302 | Local Xubuntu user name or Windows ? | 07:23 |
| AgAu | xubuntu | 07:23 |
| xubuntu302 | OK | 07:23 |
| xubuntu302 | And Fstab allows me to set the mount path ? | 07:23 |
| AgAu | yes | 07:23 |
| AgAu | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fstab | 07:23 |
| AgAu | that is a good article on setting up your hard drives in fstab | 07:24 |
| xubuntu302 | I will try that, Hey, Thanks for the help mate, very good. I was hoping to stay with Xubuntu it is great, Cheers and thanks scott. | 07:24 |
| AgAu | well good luck | 07:24 |
| zmisc | I used to use Debian and followed testing or unstable but that's become too tedious so I found Xubuntu was the perfect fit. | 07:34 |
| AgAu | yeh its pretty sxc | 07:35 |
| zmisc | except I enjoyed doing a base install and installing xfce and only what I wanted installed. someone recommended arch but I wouldn't recommend that for anything production wise | 07:37 |
| AgAu | i tried arch before xubuntu | 07:40 |
| AgAu | I went with xubuntu because i was looking for a good solid/stable distro to replace windows | 07:44 |
| zmisc | I use Debian/FreeBSD on servers. | 07:46 |
| AgAu | i think i tried debian once many many years ago | 07:50 |
| zmisc | its quite similar to xubuntu. just not as polished. | 07:54 |

| etwarrior | Is there a way to get Xubuntu to detect my default microphone? | 17:23 |
| cfhowlett | etwarrior, it should do so automagically | 17:23 |
| cfhowlett | !sound | etwarrior | 17:24 |
| ubottu | etwarrior: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 17:24 |
| etwarrior | My sound applet appears to be missing in the bar... | 17:25 |
| holstein | etwarrior: try running it, manually, or re-adding the sound applet, or see if its "missing" in the guest user.. i like to add "pavucontrol" and use that to control my audio | 17:26 |
| holstein | i will run "aplay -l" and "arecord -l" in a terminal, to make sure my audio device is loading in linux | 17:26 |
| holstein | if you dont see it there, you *wont* get audio.. | 17:26 |
| holstein | its helpful to know if sound *ever* worked in any linux, or in that xubuntu installation, or if it recently broke, or stopped working after an update | 17:27 |
| etwarrior | Is there a way to reset the system UI? | 17:37 |
| cfhowlett | etwarrior, clarify; you mean the desktop environment? | 17:38 |
| holstein | etwarrior: i'll rename ~/.config and let the system UI configs be reset | 17:41 |
| drc | rename ~/.config, log out and back in...The desktop should be reset to the default. | 17:42 |
| drc | oh, holstein beat me too it :) | 17:43 |
| cfhowlett | the ui and all apps will reset to factory fresh ... | 17:43 |
| rayq | why not just rename ~.config/xfce4/ ... that way apps aren't affected | 17:46 |
| holstein | rayq: it wasnt specified what precisely needs reset.. | 17:47 |
| rayq | ahh... | 17:47 |
| rayq | could also: ps -A | grep indicator to see if indicator-sound is even running | 17:52 |
| schreibmaschine | hello guys i have a problem with the whisker menu is it possible to rest it? | 18:08 |
| schreibmaschine | can someone tell my why i am still affected by this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1310264 | 18:09 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1310264 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu Trusty) "Can't search/find items in the Settings Manager" [Low,Fix released] | 18:09 |
| etwarrior | Guys I've figured out one of my problems... | 18:48 |
| etwarrior | concerning Thunar... apparently the "default" file browsing system is LIKE Thunar, but it's not actually thunar... I only get Thunar when I insert my USB drive. | 18:48 |
| ET_Warrior | somebody is using my name apparently... | 20:52 |
| ET_Warrior | etwarrior | 20:52 |
| ET_Warrior | WAIT A MINUTE | 20:52 |
| ET_Warrior | That's me! | 20:52 |
| ET_Warrior | Duhhh | 20:52 |
| ET_Warrior | Haha. | 20:52 |
| etwarrior | Wow. | 20:52 |

| baizon | but check which wifi driver is activated | 22:41 |
