| A-Curious-Mouse | can anybody help me with samba? I'm following the official documentation, but it's a bit ambiguous and I just need some clarity on what it actually means. | 16:41 |
|---|---|---|
| diogenes_ | !samba | 16:45 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba.html | 16:45 |
| pikapika | Hey diogenes_ have you ever tried bluetooth transfers on ubuntu | 16:49 |
| diogenes_ | pikapika, yep. | 16:49 |
| pikapika | Does it drop files in some weird directory within .cache instead of in Downloads? | 16:49 |
| diogenes_ | pikapika, blueman drops it in Downloads. | 16:50 |
| pikapika | Hmm I used the gui of the applet, is that not blueman? | 16:51 |
| pikapika | ~/.cache/obexd/ | 16:51 |
| pikapika | This is where the file ended up in | 16:51 |
| pikapika | With 'blueman-applet' | 16:52 |
| diogenes_ | try in the menu bluetooth manager. | 16:52 |
| pikapika | Menu as in system settings window? | 16:52 |
| diogenes_ | whisker menu. | 16:53 |
| pikapika | yes thats the one I was talking about | 16:53 |
| pikapika | diogenes_, doesn't do anything when clicked | 16:54 |
| diogenes_ | maybe exit the applet first. | 16:55 |
| pikapika | oh | 16:55 |
| pikapika | good point | 16:55 |
| A-Curious-Mouse | ahh sorry went afk to try and find answers elsewhere | 16:56 |
| A-Curious-Mouse | re: samba | 16:56 |
| pikapika | diogenes_, exit the applet and even did a systemctl restart bluetooth to be sure | 16:56 |
| A-Curious-Mouse | I have the basics down, I know what it is and why I want to use it etc. | 16:56 |
| pikapika | still nothing happens when I click on the menu entry | 16:56 |
| pikapika | the menu entry for Bluetooth adapters to the left however opens a dialog asking if I should enable bluetooth | 16:57 |
| pikapika | and when I enable it, blueman-applet automatically started | 16:57 |
| pikapika | Its not a big problem for me all in all, since its very rare I have to use bluetooth and the file does end up somewhere on the machine even if not the expected location | 16:57 |
| diogenes_ | pikapika, yep it should first enable bluetooth. | 16:57 |
| pikapika | diogenes_, yeah so the bluetooth manager link didn't do anything even after exiting the applet and restarting bluetooth via systemctl | 16:58 |
| diogenes_ | pikapika, blueman-manager is the command. | 16:59 |
| diogenes_ | see what terminal outputs. | 16:59 |
| pikapika | Gave me a python stack trace, then blueman-manager version 2.0.5 starting | 17:00 |
| pikapika | There is an instance already running | 17:00 |
| pikapika | interestingly the first line of the trace refers to pulseaudio profile for some reason | 17:00 |
| diogenes_ | so that's why, try: killall -9 blueman | 17:01 |
| pikapika | that didn't match anything | 17:02 |
| pikapika | I did a pkill blueman | 17:02 |
| pikapika | then retried the blueman-manager command | 17:02 |
| pikapika | and it works now | 17:02 |
| pikapika | though it opens up the same gui that I had found from the applet menu | 17:03 |
| pikapika | and yeah applet started again | 17:03 |
| pikapika | Anyways, I'll still try this series of steps next time I have to do a transfer and see whether the files land in the right place then | 17:03 |
| pikapika | Thanks for the help | 17:03 |
| diogenes_ | pikapika, install dconf-editor | 17:04 |
| pikapika | diogenes_, it appears related to gnome...do I have to do this on xubuntu? | 17:04 |
| diogenes_ | then go to blueman > shared-path. | 17:04 |
| pikapika | ok installed it...also that bluetooth-manager seems to have dropped into a bluetooth shell now | 17:10 |
| pikapika | diogenes_, The following schemas: | 17:11 |
| pikapika | org.blueman.plugins.netusages | 17:11 |
| pikapika | org.blueman.gsmsettings | 17:11 |
| pikapika | contain neither keys nor children. | 17:11 |
| pikapika | it said on the terminal when I opened dconf-editor | 17:11 |
| pikapika | does that mean anything or can it be ignored? | 17:12 |
| diogenes_ | just see if there is blueman settings in dconf-editor | 17:12 |
| pikapika | it has something in /org/blueman | 17:13 |
| pikapika | yeah the /org/blueman/transfer/shared-path has the string for my ~/Downloads | 17:14 |
| === vlm_ is now known as vlm | ||
| diogenes_ | try to change it to Documents for instance and see if it's obayed. | 17:18 |
| pikapika | Thanks, I'll try to manually edit that key next time I do a transfer and see if it works | 17:20 |
| diogenes_ | ok come with a feedback. | 17:21 |
| pikapika | Thank you for the help | 17:22 |
| diogenes_ | you're welcome | 17:24 |
