Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] samba and windows

[Andrew Woodhead]

You can also create a credentials file in this format:

username=yourusername
password=youpass

Then use this in samba:

//server/share /media/samba cifs
credentials=/path/to/file,uid=1000,gid=100,noperm 0 0

Having a username/password setup on samba is a very good idea as it keeps
users out but also authenticates you as a user on the remote system, you can
use samba to only give access to certain resources to certain usernames thus
making it more secure.

 hi,

 I was just chatting to a couple of those 'nice people' about pysdm, it's
 limitations and if a user of it could get support on the main forum area
 (which is yes) and I mentioned about the on going saga with samba. Here's
 one to try in fstab

 # Samba
 //server/share /media/samba cifs user=user,uid=1000,gid=100,noperm 0 0

 # Server = Samba server (by IP or name if you have an entry for the
 server in your hosts file
 # share = name of the shared directory
 # user = your samba user
 # This set up will ask for a password when mounting the samba share. If you
 do not want to enter a password, use a credentials file.
 # replace user=user with credentials=/etc/samba/credentials In the
 credentials file put two lines

 # user=user

 # password=password

 # make the file owned by root and ro by root (sudo chown root.root
 /etc/samba/credentials  sudo chmod 400 /etc/samba/credentials)

 If you get chance, give it a try :-)


 For ntfs stuff, I've been reminded of ntfs-config for those with windows on
 their systems who want to share a hard drive easily (which some one pointed
 out earlier on the mailing list).

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Proposal for schedule of Lubuntu 10.10

[Phillip Whiteside]

Hi,

Looks good to me :-)

I'd just like to add a note that 10.04.1 comes out on W/E July 29th so we
can expect the currently held back 'proposed' updates to be hitting the
10.04 version of Lubuntu at that time. (I'm already running with them, as I
don't want any nasty surprises). I.D.K. about how others feel with running
the 'proposed' updates, as it means those running them are not on the 'same'
level of releases as other users, but I'd hate to see a regression sneak in
to lubuntu.

Regards,

Phill.

 Hi,

 This is a proposal for the schedule of Lubuntu 10.10. It's based on the
 Ubuntu one, with some additions :

 - June 3rd : Alpha 1
 - June 24th : End of proposal for major seed modification (default app)
 - July 1st : Alpha 2
 - July 29th : End of proposal for Artwork
 - August 5th : Alpha 3
 - August 12th : Feature Freeze (no more feature/new versions included)
 - August 26th : Artwork and UserInterface Freeze (no artwork changes)
 - September 2nd : Beta
 - September 16th : Final Freeze
 - September 30th : RC*
 - October 10th : Final Release*

 * It supposed that the final release is build on Ubuntu infrastructure.
 Otherwise, it will be a Beta 2 instead of RC, and a final beta for the
 final release.

 Feel free to discuss, add any comments, or feedbacks. If you think I
 forgot some dates, speak now :-)

 Best regards,
 Julien Lavergne
