This will be a Linux machine so Ubuntu would be the only OS. Can I do the formatting from the installer, or do I need to use Gparted from the install disk? It sound like you're suggesting it will...

I'm considering building my next PC. I would like to have Ubuntu on an SSD and my files on a large disk. I know that 2T disks are not a problem, but what about 3T? Will it make any difference that...

I don't see a .settings folder, but I do have .fontconfig.

Is that what you deleted?

Thanks again. I've got a working computer and I learned something about partitions too.

I finally got around to installing Elementary OS. It went without a hitch and I am enjoying the new OS very much.

While Ubuntu and E OS are both working fine I was surprised to see that the...

My main machine is an iMac. My little PC is just for playing with, so I'm not worried about backing up Windows 7. I did make CDs for a reinstall if it ever comes to that.

What I'm looking for is...

I almost missed that second request. Here is the terminal out put.

How embarrassing. You're right about the screen shot. I'll try again.

I am currently running Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 on a 2TB computer. The two OS have about 1T each. I'm considering removing Windows 7 and replacing it with the new Ubuntu based Elementary OS.

I posted this to the Desktops forum but didn't get any ideas so I'm trying again here.

It looks like Apple will be dropping Samba in the next release of OS X, due to a stricter license on it's usage.

I wonder what this means for Ubuntu?

Apple will have their own support for...

Sorry I've been unable to get here for a few days. Life reared up and then I spent some time trying to get away from Samba and see if I could use Bonjour / zerconf to work. Despite finding a pretty...

Right you are. Here is the second attempt. I hope this is what you are looking for.

I don't know what the permissions code mean but it's interesting that the properties for "Public" and "Share"...

Hmm. I've tried the other step now. Either I've not got the syntax right or something is weird.

The Home folder is not encrypted (how can I verify that?). To see if the problem is specific to the...

I did as requested and this is the terminal output from sudo nmap -sS -sU -T4

I think the Time Capsule is the router. It's between the cable modem and all the Internet devices in the house, wired and wireless. I've never heard about it having a firewall though. There's a...

restarting nmbd gives


nmbd start/running, process 5435
smbtree response did not change after doing that.

Well, this is interesting.

smbtree prompted me for my password, and then gave nothing.

Thanks a bunch for sharing this information with me. I'm learning as we go here.

I'm still muddling here, but this is what I have this morning -

Mapes - I wish it was as easy as you suggest....

Ranko and Coffeecat - I have sharing enabled on the public folder in my home directory. My settings match Coffeecat's posted image (the properties tag is identical in Mint).

The Firewall I'm...

Thanks for the suggestion - but it didn't work.

Is Ubuntu / Mint networking "shut off" by default, ie. is there something I need to turn on, or ok?

On the Mac it was simple - go to...

I thought I should add that both machines are connected to a Time Capsule via Ethernet.
