you can read the shared folder, just not write to it?

you did not give a value setsebool -P smbd_disable_trans 1 setsebool -P smbd_disable_trans

Thats probably is a good idea. Does Hans have to give permission to do that? Since it is open source, could I take over development and call it shanefs ?

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been having some strange bugs lately with my firefox builds from source(portage). For example when I would go to my web mail, both my login name and password should automatically get entered, so I would just have to press "login". This is how it works on my firefox install on windows, and older installs from gentoo. My last few installs of firefox from source have not been working correctly. It would make me type my login name and password everytime. If I am correct, automatically filling in the login name would be done with cookies, right? So I figured firefo

Thanks for clearing that up :-)

In the past I was having a problem and it turned out that I did not have the correct path set(typo) in my smb.conf. Double check the paths you have. If it helps take a look at my config file. I like to see how other people do things [global] server string = Samba Server %v map to guest = Bad User log file = /var/log/samba3/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No hosts allow = 192.168.1. [movies] path = /mnt/media/movies/ writable = yes [avi] path = /mnt/media/avi writable = yes [music] path = /mnt/media/mu

I am not quite following you. Are you saying the vista premium disc is not bootlable, or do just mean it wants proof of XP? Why would you need an xp pro disc, since premium is just the equivalent of microsoft home, not pro?

I am no samba expert, but I do this with my computer. I am not totally sure this is nessesary, but it works for me. Make sure you set a samba password for one of the users on your linux computer smbpasswd -a user then it will prompt you to set a password, I usually leave mine blank. Then when I log into it from windows, it will prompt me for the username and password.

I remember as a young child, he was the first stand up comedian I ever heard. I loved him. I want to comment on a few of his funny lines, but am worried I will cause a controversy on the board. I will take a chance. I love this one:

I have ran across a machine with about 1500 problems as reported by adaware. Surprisingly it cleaned up well.

I was going to change both of my partitions to ext3 from reiserfs, then I noticed I lost about 3 gbs. Based on that, I will probably keep reiserfs.

I have two 200 gb western digital drives. I use them for storage of data. I then use the program unison to sync them, so I always have backup. I formatted one with ext3 with the option to set the superuser amount to 0%. I formatted the other with ReiserFS(I think version 3). the ext3 file system formatted and left me with 184gb. The ReiserFS filesystem left me with 187gb, slightly less waste. Based on that i may make both drives ReiserFS. For what its worth, most of the files are in the range of 350mbs-1500mbs. Are their any reasons I should not use ReiserFS? Both file systems seem stable, b

the reason it stumped my for so long is I owned the directory and contents, so I did not see any logical reason I was getting "permission denied" The funny part is I can just change it to executable with out any problem(since I own it). So it is not really any more secure.

I drove myself crazy earlier not being able to play some video files, or more correct, read some files as regular user. The problem was I ran chmod 664 recursively on my media directory. It was pointed out to me that regular users need 755 set on directorys to read the contents. Is their a security reason that non root users can't read the contents of directorys that are not set with the execute bit(even if they own them)?

you can do a clean install with either one. The main difference between upgrade and full is licensing, technically you can't move your upgrade version from computer to computer like you can the full version, that is the same with an oem version. In practice you should have no problem moving either an upgrade or oem, you just need to tell microsoft that you replaced the motherboard because it was defective. If you tell them it is to upgrade they may not allow it. By the way newegg is selling vista premium for just $125, that includes tax and shipping. edit added later// I am basing this on the

I just emerged qt, kdelibs, kdebase(i think those are the dependencies) so can run klipper in gnome :-) This worked quite well in my old system, The klipboard just sat in my notification area(system tray) just like it does in KDE. Now when I run it from gnome, it is in the top left corner of my screen. Any ideas how to get it to run in my system tray? edit added// I logged in and out now it started in the system tray. When I ran it from the command line it ran in the top left corner.

My new system is running great, I love it. Doubling the memory, upgrading the proc, and a fresh new install. It seems alot snappier then before.

I just bought an $80 brother laser printer. It was the best investment ever. I refuse to spend huge sums of money for black inkjet cartridges

This was strange. On this second time rebuilding gentoo, it failed on the same package, imagemagick. I noticed it made reference to perl in the error. I did USE="-perl" emerge imagemagick and it compiled fine. I am not sure if I need perl support This still does not explain how this package built correctly the one time while running it from ubuntu in a chrooted environment.

Usually when you have a compile error, it does not compile properly until you find the reason it failed and make some changes. As far as I could tell I changed nothing but it just started to work. It appeared to randomly fix its self. That is why I was so dumbfounded. None the less, I did not feel right about how part of the install went so I started over. I was probably just neurosis, but I will be using it everyday, so I want to be sure everything was done correctly. I expect it to be finished by this evening.

Over on the gentoo forums, I was told it was probably just a glitch in the Matrix.

Now I feel dumb. I tried to reemerge it using my gentoo kernel and it did not fail. My only theory to what happened was user error. After doing the emerge --sync I must not have tried it again until rebooting with ubuntu. I honestly remember trying, but must not have. That is the only thing that can account for what happened.

I am at a loss for what just happened. I booted my newly made Gentoo system yesterday evening. This was a bare system not yet running X. I did an emerge gnome before I went to bed. I kind of expected to wake up to a failed build of something. The package imagemagick failed. I tried one more time to compile it, it again failed. I then did an emerge --sync, then tried to emerge it again. The package still failed. I decided I was going to reboot with ubuntu, then emerge it from a chrooted environment. Since ubuntu is running X, I would be able to cut and paste the build errors so I could search f

did you try a different power supply? If you did and that did not help, it probably is the mother board
