Re: [fsug-tvm] File sharing through Wi-Fi network
If you just need others to access it and not modify, you can setup as a web server too. But, in that case, people must know your ip address to access files.

[fsug-tvm] Re: File sharing through Wi-Fi network
Hi there hope the following stuff will be of help. it works for me in ubuntu 9.10 karmic. i will split this into two halves First is setup your linux machine with samba and second is accessing files from your friends systems I. Setting up your system install system-config-samba by giving command sudo aptitude system-config-samba once the installation is finished go to system administration samba to open Samba Server Configuration in the Samba Server Configuration go to Preferences Server Setting this will pop up a dialog box with two tabs namely Basic Security in the basic tab specify the workgroup (it is advisable to have all u r friends systems including non linux ones in same workgroup, say Hostel) and in security group change authentication mode to Share(User setting too works) leave the rest of the settings to their defaults once your done click OK now go to File Add share or click on the Big + button on the toolbar to get a dialog box to add folder u need to share this dialog is almost self explanatory select the folder(for instance 'Library'), give a share name (preferably a shorter one, 'library' in this case), check visible if everyone should be able to see the share through either network neighbourhood(windows systems) or smb:///(linux boxes), check writable if u r friends should be able to modify the files. in the access tab u can configure access settings i.e everbody or select users who can access(Please read the next para before u give setup user access). once u r done click Ok and voila u r share is ready to be accessed over the network. to be on safe side restart samba service by executing following command in terminal sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart since your primary linux user account will have sudo privilages it is not desirable use that account to access file from the client machine. so here is what i did i created a new user account named 'shareuser' using system administration users and groups. click the lock icon to enable administrator privileges. click on add user enter the user name, shareuser in thisexample and password, say 'xx' and select profile desktop user. do not select administrator profile!!. after this i give this user access to the share in Access tab. II. accessing from a client machine (i am assuming your machine name to be, say, enigma for this step) assuming that all u guys are in same workgroup(windows and linux included. mac guys too) u will see the your machine(something like enigma(samba, ubuntu)) in the network neighbourhood or smb:///(or rather Places network). in case of windows machine if it does not show just click the link view workgroup computers this will most probably show the available workgroups browse to your work group i.e hostel and nd access your machine enigma annd u can see the shared folder in it. now while opening share user name and password will be asked give the user name, shareuser in this example and password 'xx' to access the contents in windows machines u can also map the shares as network drives the procedure is as follows 1. Right click on 'My Computer' icon, either on desktop or start menu, and select 'Map Network Drive'. 2. Now select drive letter' default is Z; and last available one and enter the share location in the format \\server name\share (for this example \\enigma\library) 3. click the link 'connect using a different username' and enter the username (shareuser) and password (xx) and click OK / Finish buttons now the share will appear as a network drive in the my computer.

Re: [fsug-tvm] Re: File sharing through Wi-Fi network
Hi, I dont really know the samba configuration and its details. Just check the firewall settings you have. If there are a large pool of users, a P2P system is better. If you are the only provider and others are clients go with an ftp or something. I think both will be faster than a workgroup kind of setup. Cheers Jinesh K J -- Freedom is the only law.

[fsug-tvm] [Urgent] Problem with OpenOffice and PDF
Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and I have to prepare a presentation for my college seminar. For that, I used 'OpenOffice.org' that comes with Ubuntu. Some of the slides has some links. I exported the whole presentation to pdf and planned it to show in college PC. But, in my PC itself, the links can't be opened in pdf file. When I click the links(when the pdf is opened in Evince Document viewer), an error message showing that Unable to open external link, Failed to execute child process firefox (Permission denied) .

[fsug-tvm] NO GUI or GO FOR GUI? discussion. THEGUI 0.3.1 in LINUX
SUB: TheGUI is expected to provide a GUI mode operation for normally terminal based operations? any similiar applications? which is the most GUI-fied distro? Hello! I stumbled upon http://aluigi.org/mytoolz.htm(has TheGUI in it, no documentation found yet) while searching for something else. it states: THEGUI is an almost universal front-end for many command-line programs which works on both Windows and Linux because it uses the GTK+ library. it has been successfully tested also with programs like nmap, netcat, gcc, tidy, nasm, lame, curl, almost all my tools and many others. it is also very easy to use and has tooltips so is enough to keep the mouse pointer over a button to know what it does. my problem: Suffering from severe TerminaloPhobia :) I am prone to haevy allergic reaction to Black screens with white Fixedsys text and a blinking Insertion point at the end. Suffers from tremor raections when verbosing is not active in the screen. Seems to be less susceptible when TerminaloManiacs are available in Vodafone connection.My exact problem is lack of ability in byhearting syntax.especially long combinations of spaces and \ - / and very short aliases like -xvf -s -apt -v[their meanings too], running to some thousands i suppose... Being aware that i am professionaly in biology field, most often failing to reach the targets assigned, prevents me in motivating myself too much in understanding how linux works. *Questions simplified:* 1)Which is the most GUI-fied, yet equally proficient distro. atleast with an installer program, which lets me install a program in individual steps. like extracting to a folder, installing to another(not preferrably of my choice), select other input parameters (select/type input parameters from screen,with visual hints provided, and not type from memmory) 2)Is there any point in saying that GUI is not as advisable as depending on text files with manually editable settings? I think a GUI provides a visaully more userfriendly FrontEnd, sends input to a terminal,and displays messages back from the terminal. what exactlymakes such GUIs not available in GNU/Linux? (especially in program installation and uninstallation) i tried versions like synaptic, succeded in 'making visible' a working shortcut to VLC player on my desktop 'as in magic' without any hint of what was happening, or any possible customisations, as it can be done in Windows (or better) ReactOS. and i have not yet succesfully installed Cinelerra video editor. 3) if TheGUI is going to solve my problem, kindly post if any bugs / good links to bug resolving, known to you,that i can prevent myself from reinventing bugs. 4) If there is no choice avilable, can somebody consider the following as his MSc project;it would be very helpful. A program which interprets error messages from terminal[atleast a set of the most common applications], explains it and offers possible remedies that can be manually executed and also providing relevent links in the web Please do not recommend Googling, page relevency/ranking of Google is atleast sometimes HORRIBLE especially for begginers. I mean a program which can be insatlled, and works in a system even without internet connection.It may have a terminal of its own, if grabbing from a fast terminal is not possible. also should provide tarumatic messages like the step you commit could force you learn Brail script if its gonna through granades at the butiful galsses of Xwindows :) it is also permitted to (audibly only) bark or kiss. i am ready to try graphics for it, if something of this kind is felt as a necessity. thanking you in advance, and sorry for posting personal stories, i was just trying to represent the thought process of a minority class in the mailing list - the Non-Expert users of Linux...and my motivation had been the feddback from the common people ( fruit stall vendors to doctors), in just the few hours spend at FSUG stall, Xplore 2010. -- Freedom is the only law.
