Public bug reported:
I have installed ubuntu mate 17.10 Beta 2 into a brand new virtualbox machine.
I've installed cifs utils and mounted a samba shared in etc/fstab via:
//192.168.2.6/myshare /media/myshare cifs
iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/danbuntu/.smbcredentials,gid=1234 0 0
on a reboot
I can confirm that this also works for me.

I've just tried with some different media and it's still not working.
However i also tried with a fresh install of ubuntu mate into a vmware machine
and that is working fine - so very odd.
Settings:
non working:

I've just checked and yes I do have libavcodec-extra installed

I have had very few calls from my mum asking for help with her Ubuntu
system. She uses the same kinds of apps most people do.
I can vouch for that. My Farther-in-law recently bought a new pc, without
asking me, because he 'simply must have windows'. Last time I saw him he was
complaining
Just seen Alan Bell's post and he has mentioned something no one else
has, there is meant to be a failsafe X in low res mode. I didnt know
that and have not in 4 years seen that mentioned before. Has anyone
else ever seen Ubuntu boot in this failsafe mode?
Yes. I've had issues in the past

Increasingly the stance is that IT functional skill should be embedded
across all lessons. Therefore part of say GCSE Biology would be to create a

It would include

Using the internet/ firefox/ facebook
Using fspot/ getting pics from a camera/ printing said pics
On the error message that pops up there is a command that needs to be run as
sudo. I'm not at a buntu machie at the mo so I can't get the exact message
but it's something like /etc/init.d/vbox drvseup.
That will compile the kernel modules for you and should get vbox working -
double check as well
Does the mp3 player not just mount it's self as a folder on the gnome
desktop when you plug it?
Reading a review of the player it seems that in windows there is no need for
any software - it just appears in my computer as a removable device much
like any usb thumb drive. If this is the case then
do a google for ubuntu Nwhd3 and take a look at the launchpad bug reports.
There is a fix in there for getting the player to show up as a media player
in rhythmbox - that might help

You might want to give some like Virtualbox or Qemu ago as well.
The biggest problem you might have in terms of speed would related to the
amount of ram you have. XP really wants 512mg to run at a good speed - which
