Not sure what an NAS is, although the term seems to come up on these threads a lot.

I wanted to wirelessly share my terrabyte drive, if feasible because it has 30,000 or so mp3s and I am...

well, the problem does not seem to be the script, but that I can't get to the script from AMAROK 1.4 because Amarok 1.4 sort of thinks it is installed (for purposes of re-installing it), but won't...

I have apparently made some progress. i can now "see" the network storage device, but it says:

Unable to mount location
Failed to retrieve share list


btw, nothing new showing up in...

well, I am not where I want to be with Amarok 1.4, but this post did solve the problem I brought up in this thd, so:

(i) THANK YOU;

and

(ii) marking it SOLVED.

This question is so basic, maybe it should be in "Absolute Beginners," but here goes:

I have a Western Digtal MyBook storage device connected to my router. I have used this to wirelessly store...

This seemed to work.

new problem: the amarok 1.4 indicates that the scripts I want are "already installed," but they do not show up in the "installed scripts" menu. This may be because I may...

I think that Amarok 2 (the one I am trying to avoid) came out in 2008. Is 8.04 LTS prior to that?

When you say that 8.04 LTS is "history" do you mean that it is impossible to get or impossible to...

yeah, but see this is super difficult who someone, like me who started using LINUX for the first time yesterday.

Wouldn't it be easier to just take the whole OS back in time so that RUBY and Perl...

That is why I am thinking it would be easier to install an old version of...

I just successfully installed UBUNTU / Linux for the first time today (with some help from this forum).

The reason I did this was that I wanted to try out some scripts in Amarok 1.4 (not Amarok 2,...

The real problem is that in order to connect wirelessly with a Broadcom type wireless setup you have to be connected through a wire to get the things you need to get to connect wirelessly.

That is...

No, technically the problem is that when doing an UBUNTU single OS install it wipes out the windows loader, which renders the ACER windows erecovery disks useless (and, yes, it was a lot of hours of...

lol.

That is what torpedo'd my attempt to go UBUNTU back in 2007.

Back in 2002, when I attempted to go LINUX, the problem was floppy drives and monitors.

Hopefully I am on board now.

Thank you for the help. After three days of struggle I am now connected wirelessly.

Before I marked this as "solved" I will attept to answer my own question (feel free to correct me if I have it...
