Tonight I built a VM of 18.04 Budgie Beta 1 and gave it a test drive. It browses Windows networks "Out of the Box"!

Thanks Morbis1! I did everything you suggested here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2384959

And it all works perfectly even without SMBv1. I can browse all the Windows 10 boxes.

I turned on SMB 1.0 Server feature on Windows "Programs and Features" and now I can browse/access it all. Now I've got to see if I opened a security risk.

I ran your command and it returned: "The...

Ubuntu can't seem to get organised to make a fresh install just "work out of the box" in the simplest of cases. I just built a Ubuntu 16.04 and a Xubuntu 17.04 desktops and neither one can...

I never mentioned mounting Windows filesystems. How will 'fstab method or autofs' help with administering users and shares? It won't.

Does anyone know/use a good GUI for Ubuntu or Xubuntu to manage Samba accounts/shares etc?

I read somewhere that one of the existing Samba GUI's screwed things up. I would just like something...

I installed a fresh Ubuntu 16.04.3. Then I remembered how bad Unity is and added Mate desktop, but now it does not allow me to select which desktop I want to use at the Login screen like earlier...

So you are saying if I make a backup copy of the sshd_config file and then restart the sshd service that will make it all work again?

I don't think that will help.

I upgraded my PC from 14.04 to 16.04 which is working OK, however it now appears that the new openssh sets up so none of my SSH applications now function.

An excellent terminal emulator on Windows...

I just got news there is a new database tool that has similar abilities of Microsoft Access--a good visual database tool. This is one application that Linux has never gotten even close to Microsoft...

I right-click the icon for the SD card in the task/menu bar and select "eject". It appears to eject OK as the icon then disappears.

I have ubuntu 12.04 running standard Unity. I often import SD cards from my cameras. When I insert the first card everything is fine, it is recognized, etc. But after ejecting the first card,...

Nomachine.com version of NX is fantastic except with Unity. With most window managers it is the closest thing to Windows Remote Desktop, no latency, etc.
I still haven't got it to work right with...

I got started way back in the Unix bourne shell days. When I wanted to run a program in the background and have it continue to run even after I logged out I would use this command line in bourne...

It is an ext4 filesystem on a dual-boot Windows, although Windows is never used.

Update: I found an easy way to upgrade the kernel to latest, with command:
apt-get install linux-image-2.6.38-12-generic

That upgraded my kernel from 32-46 to 38-12 and appears to have stopped...

I had a 10.04 Lucid server crash after two years of running. It would not reboot, just hanged at initramfs prompt. I got it to boot with fsck of root filesystem, but now it logs messages:

kernel:...

I have a Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid server that has been running just great for around 2 years. A few nights ago it crashed during a rsync backup of a database to another server. After the crash it would not...

I have used nomachine.com's NX to connect to gnome desktops on Ubuntu boxes for a long time. It usually works better/faster than any other remote desktop app such as VNC. I have recently encountered...

Yes, I know Windows is looking on SDB. I already tried changing the boot drive in BIOS to the Windows disk (sda), but there is an old, unused grub on that disk too. That's why I want/need to either...

I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 on the first disk (sda) and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a second drive (sdb). I have upgraded/moved Ubuntu a couple of times, but Win7 has always been on the first...

I think I solved this by experimentation. I was able to create a nearly 3TB Ext3 filesystem with gparted . The standard Ubuntu disk utility would not handle it.

First I took it back to a Windows 7...

I have other external USB drives of different models that I had no problem installing ext3 or ext4 on. But this one it would not do. It may have something to do with the Seagate firmware or the fact...

I managed to get a new NTFS partition installed and working on it. The trick was in Windows disk manager to make it a GUID (GPT) disk, then I could create a new NTFS. As I mentioned I thought it...

I purchased a new Seagate Backup Plus external USB hard drive. I plugged it into an Ubuntu PC and decided it was slow. I assumed I could improve it by deleting to default NTFS filesystem that comes...
