[07:06] 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 [07:07] So sorry the question... [07:07] I can not work out how to share the USB HDD's from 14.04 to other machines, folders with Samba OK. [07:08] But entire HDD's (USB) , no idea... Have I gone down the wrong path ? [07:08] Should I be using Ubuntu server ? [07:08] did you add them to your fstab? [07:08] Or have I missed something ? [07:08] Fstab ? [07:09] In conjunction with Samba ? [07:09] well [07:09] i had permission problems with samba shares until i added the hard drives to the fstab file [07:09] what is your exact problem? [07:10] 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.. [07:12] did you check the permissions on them? [07:12] 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 ? [07:13] Have you had this working ? [07:13] Sharing HDD's that is ? [07:13] im sharing my two storage drives with my windows network now [07:13] With Xubuntu / [07:13] ? [07:13] yes [07:13] as long as you have the folder permissions setup correctly and shared [07:13] it should work [07:14] 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] well [07:14] the hard drives need to be mounted [07:15] Yes, They all mount OK, premissions set, I can see the shares in Windows, but no access. [07:15] yeh but where are they mounted [07:15] if you can't access them then the permissions aren't correct [07:16] 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] go to your media folder [07:16] /media [07:16] OK [07:17] I have my Xubuntu user name as a folder [07:17] yeh [07:17] open that [07:17] are your hard drives in that folder [07:18] Yes when they are plugged in. [07:18] yeh that's why you have the permission problem [07:18] OK, They should not show here ? [07:19] well they aren't auto mounting on startup are they? [07:20] the fstab folder is used to automount hard drives on boot [07:20] you should ideally create new folders for each drive under /media [07:20] fstab file* [07:21] I think I did that, but the folder did not seem to relate to the actual HDD, will Fstab sort that ? [07:21] okay for example [07:22] i have my Storage drive setup to mount /media/Storage [07:22] that /media/Storage folder needs to your user as the owner [07:22] OK [07:22] for windows to access it [07:23] Local Xubuntu user name or Windows ? [07:23] xubuntu [07:23] OK [07:23] And Fstab allows me to set the mount path ? [07:23] yes [07:23] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fstab [07:24] that is a good article on setting up your hard drives in fstab [07:24] 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] well good luck [07:34] I used to use Debian and followed testing or unstable but that's become too tedious so I found Xubuntu was the perfect fit. [07:35] yeh its pretty sxc [07:37] 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 [07:40] i tried arch before xubuntu [07:44] I went with xubuntu because i was looking for a good solid/stable distro to replace windows [07:46] I use Debian/FreeBSD on servers. [07:50] i think i tried debian once many many years ago [07:54] its quite similar to xubuntu. just not as polished. === poeticrpm is now known as poeticrpm_afg === poeticrpm_afg is now known as poeticrpm_afk [14:07] Hi all, OK, thanks for the great work on xubuntu 14.04... Nice... Very good.., But I have to pass as, I have for three weeks tried to share USB HDDs from X14.04 onto win networks... Impossible... Maybe I am stupid, but I give up, shame... === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === GridCube is now known as GrinchCube [16:58] join #mauritius [16:59] join mauritius [17:00] try "/join #mauritus" [17:23] Is there a way to get Xubuntu to detect my default microphone? [17:23] etwarrior, it should do so automagically [17:24] !sound | etwarrior [17:24] 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. [17:25] My sound applet appears to be missing in the bar... [17:26] 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] i will run "aplay -l" and "arecord -l" in a terminal, to make sure my audio device is loading in linux [17:26] if you dont see it there, you *wont* get audio.. [17:27] 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 [17:37] Is there a way to reset the system UI? [17:38] etwarrior, clarify; you mean the desktop environment? [17:41] etwarrior: i'll rename ~/.config and let the system UI configs be reset [17:42] rename ~/.config, log out and back in...The desktop should be reset to the default. [17:43] oh, holstein beat me too it :) [17:43] the ui and all apps will reset to factory fresh ... [17:46] why not just rename ~.config/xfce4/ ... that way apps aren't affected [17:47] rayq: it wasnt specified what precisely needs reset.. [17:47] ahh... [17:52] could also: ps -A | grep indicator to see if indicator-sound is even running [18:08] hello guys i have a problem with the whisker menu is it possible to rest it?
