Linux Mint Share Asks For Password In Windows 7

In Linux Mint, I have right clicked on a folder and selected
"Sharing Options" -> checked the boxes to "Allow others to create and delete files in this folder" and "Guest Access..."

When I access the shared folder on Windows 7 it asks for a password. If I type a password in, it works.

I would like to configure it to not ask for a password, but just open the share.

Can't Access Windows Share From Linux

Hi all. I can't connect to my Win 8.1 box from Linux Mint. I can ping the Win box successfully. I can access my Linux share from my Win box. It seems like the problem is with windows. I've been working on this problem for about three days now with no luck. I've uninstalled Norton Security in my Win box. I've deactivated Microsoft's firewall. Not helping. My smb.conf is:

[homes]
read only = no
security = domain
workgroup = WORKGROUP

[share]
comment = Shared Data
path = /home/gary/share
gues ok = yes
writeable = no
browseable = yes

To make things simple i created only one shared folder on my Win box, asm. On Linux i type: sudo mount.cifs //GARYZ97/asm /home/gary/share -o user=Gary ; Gary is apparently my correct Windows username. BTW, i've also tried gary.
Linux responds with: [sudo] password for gary: jj ; this is my correct sudo password
Next response is: Password for Gary@//GARYZ97/asm: ; here i have tried my Microsoft Account password; i've tried just hitting enter; i've tried jj my Linux password. I'm at my wits end. What am i doing wrong? I've googled so many different sites but no one seems to have the problem i have. Please help. I don't want to pull out all my hair. I can access my Linux share from Windows, edit it, save it, and i see the changes on my Linux box. I know i'm being repetitive here but i just can't access my Windows share from Linux. I have run testparm on smb.conf and no problems there. Almost forgot. After entering what i believe is my correct Windows password i get: mount error(115): Operation now in progress, and then on the next line, Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Trouble Mounting Network Drive On Wandboard/Arch

Hi. I've installed Arch Linux on a Wandboard running Logitech Media Server (LMS). LMS needs to read my music files off of a NAS network share. I can't figure out how to mount that network share.

I was told by someone who has a similar NAS to make the following entry in etc/fstab:

//192.168.10.15/media/Music /mnt/netdrive cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,user=nobody,password="",iocharse t=utf8,noperm,nounix,nobrl 0 0

But when I start LMS and point it to /mnt/netdrive, my media/Music folder isn't shown. Is there a problem with the way I'm trying to mount the network share?

I've tried using "root" and "admin" as username and the admin password of the NAS as password, but still no luck. I've tried mounting the share manually, but I get a "permission denied" error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please Help! I'm Trying To Install A Program Through The Terminal

I'm sorry to ask such a simple question but every time I think I figure something out or think I'm going somewhere get stopped dead in my tracks. My friend installed linux on my computer and then moved away immediately so I have no one to help me!

I downloaded the webcam program Cheese. I found through some tutorials that I have to copy the folder to the /opt/ folder and the only way to do that is through the terminal. I found this tutorial and still can't manage to copy the folder. These are the problems I run into:

1. I don't know where to open the terminal. I've tried opening it from the extracted Cheese folder in my downloads folder and from the /opt/ folder itself. It opens up but:
2. when I type the command sudo cp -r cheese /opt/ it will ask for modernnewspeak's password. When I try to type this in nothing happens, even though it JUST let me type in the command. I pressed "enter" thinking maybe it was hiding my password and I get the message "cannot stat 'cheese'. No such file or directory"

please tell me what I'm doing wrong! I tried to follow that tutorial and look through the FAQ here but I cannot figure this out. Thank you in advance!

Can't Access Samba Share

I have set up a SFTP which I can connect to, go to the right directory and read/write files to.

The full path is home/sftpuser/SFTP/Customer
The user "sftpuser" I am connecting with is in the group "ftpusers" which has read/write access.

That works fine.

Here is my sshd_config:
Code:
Match Group ftpusers ChrootDirectory /home/%u/
 ForceCommand internal-sftp
  AllowAgentForwarding no
  AllowTcpForwarding no
  X11Forwarding no

However, I made a samba share of the folder Customer, when I go to the IP adress on a Windows machine "\\10.0.0.1\" I can see the folder Customer, when entering it requests user/pass and afterwards gives an error: you have not the right permissions.

In Webmin:
Customer /home/sftpuser/SFTP/Customer Read/write to everyone

My smb.conf:
Code:
[global]
    syslog = 0
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
    read raw = no
    write raw = no
    passdb backend = tdbsam
    workgroup = DOMAIN
    usershare allow guests = yes
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY
    pam password change = yes
    passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    unix password sync = yes
    obey pam restrictions = yes
    passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
    server role = standalone server
    server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
    max log size = 1000
    map to guest = bad user
    panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
    dns proxy = no



[Customer]
    force create mode = 755
    browsable = yes
    public = yes
    path = /home/sftpuser/SFTP/Customer
    force directory mode = 755
    writeable = yes
    valid users = @ftpusers
    force group = ftpusers
    write list = @ftpusers

I have been struggling for 3 days and am totally out of ideas.

LS -L for the folder:
Code:
total 4
drwxrwx---+ 2 sftpuser ftpusers 4096 Apr  9 11:35 Customer

Rsync, Reliable "copy And Paste" Type Of Backup In Case Things Break?

What I did in windows was create images of my drive and restore them.

in linux I am running

Code:
rsync -aAXv --exclude={"/home/*","/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} /* /path/to/backup/folder

and this creates a folder for me with all my files, and apparently saves meta data like permissions and paths...

Since I'm using arch and things break sometimes,I'm booted into a CLI with errors and cannot figure my way out since I'm a noob... would I be able to just delete my entire root and replace it with the rsync backup without a problem?

Problem Setting Up Samba -- Korora 21 (Fedora)

I've got my new system up and running. It's a nice fresh change after running Linux Mint for the past 4 years. Now comes the time of setting things up the way I like them.

As part of my setup, I have a all of my DVD's backed up onto my computer so that I can use a media server in the house. I run XBMC at my TV's with a central samba server (my computer) holding the movies.

In LM, all I had to do was right-click the directory "sharing" and select SMB share and type in the name. Everything else was done for me. This doesn't seem that simple.

Here's what I've done:
1. Menu > Administration > Samba
2. Entered in all the directories to share, under the BASIC tab I've selected visibile, writeable. Under the ACCESS tab I've selected a user (see below).
3. I've created a system user called xbmc with the password of xbmc.
4. I've created a samba user called xbmc with the password of xbmc.

Still not working. So, I went into the shell where I manually started the smb service:
# systemctl start smb.service

So, I went back to Menu > Administration > Samba > Preferences:
Set workgroup to WORKGROUP (but it automatically changes it to lower case after I exit).

Drop to terminal and restart service with systemctl.

I go over to my XMBC installation and try to connect to the source and it finds the SMB share. I click on it and after about 30 seconds a window pops up asking for login credentials. I enter xbmc/xbmc and after about 30 seconds it just cycles through. XMBC doesn't offer any messages, so I went downstairs to my Windows machine and tried to connect to a network drive. I enter in \\IP\share-name and after a few seconds it asks for login credentials. I enter xbmc/xbmc but then it fails with "bad username or password".

I'm not sure what I need to do to get this working.

Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

Had Ubuntu Installed And Realized That I Don't Know Root Password

Hi everybody,

I used to be a Linux developer, but I have not used Linux or anything UNIX-like for a long time (more than 10 years). I had it installed by someone else and assumed that the root password is not set. Turned out - it has been. I can logged in as "owner" because I have guessed the password ("password") but no such luck with root. Can anything (other than reinstallation) be done? Is there some default password that root gets at installation that someone at this forum knows? Any other suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

File Manager Folder Properties

In Windows, when a folder is right clicked, I can see the number of files and folders in that folder and the detailed size of the total of files and folders down to the byte. In Linux Mint when I do the same thing in the default file manager, it gives me a total nunber of "Items" and a size rounded to xx.x GB. Is there a file manager that will give me the same information as Windows does, or another way to get that information?
