I am running Kubuntu 22.04 and samba. I have three Windows clients: a virtual Win7 running on the server, an old laptop running Win10, and my wife's newer laptop running Win11.
The Win10 machine...
Thank you for your advice. I tried using the original smb.conf, modified a little bit, and now the new laptop CAN access the ubuntu shares! I did discover, however, that, while the older Win10 laptop...
To summarize:
1) Two desktops, one virtual Win7, and an older Win10 laptop are all able to connect shares with each other.
2) The new laptop detects all the other machines but cannot connect to...
I did check out the link you provided. I think I already came across it before. Anyway, doing a "find" on the working laptop registry failed to bring up the keys mentioned in the link.
Thanks for your reply! I fixed the problem with the "Max protocol NT1 is less than min protocol SMB3." I thought (and tried) to compare the two registries, but they are too large and different enough...
I have 2 Win10 Home laptops and 2 Kubuntu desktop/server PC's (20.04 and 18.04.) The older Win10 laptop is able to connect to samba shares on both PC's. Sometime in the past, I had to muck around...
Uninstalling snap, apparmor, and chromium fixed the problem with the chromium browser not working. However, the vlc issue is still active. Also, vlc does not run when invoked from the KDE start menu.
OK, so now I've discovered that the chromium browser will no longer work at all. From the command line, I get:
$ chromium
snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be....
Performed fresh install of Kubuntu 20.04. When I right-click on a video to play with vlc, vlc crashes/doesn't play. If I invoke vlc from the command line, it does work and will play a selected file....
I installed a larger SSD to replace the smaller Win10 HDD partition on my dual boot Kubuntu system. I used GParted to clone the Win10 HDD partition to the SSD. I ran grub-update and both OS's were...
After trying various settings and still not being able to connect to Samba shares, I discovered the following settings also had to be included in smb.conf
lanman auth = yes
ntlm auth = yes
Thanks, I did discover that firestarter had been discontinued. I installed gufw and realized I had to start from scratch, meaning learning a new program and re-entering all my rules. Is there a way...
I had a home server running 12.04LTS Kubuntu. (I like having a desktop environment for the server.) The server provides DHCP and firewall services for my home network. I have used firestarter to do...
I wish to upgrade a RAID 1 one TB drive to a RAID 10 two TB drive. I'm switching from a 2 port SATA (Silicon Image chip) controller card to a 4 port SI card. I guess I have to "start from scratch",...
Making progress. Some libraries, eg. libQtWebkit and the gstreamer group, fail to install using anything based on apt into the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ directory. (Instead, I was asked to remove my...
Another holiday goes by...
None of the suggestions work.
:/tmp$ sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu*amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package skype.
(Reading database ... 253152 files and...
Lucky you! I did (and repeatedly) downloaded skype 4.1 and attempted to install, using GDebi. I get an error, "Cannot install 'libqtwebkit:i386'"
This the start of the dependency hell...
Recently upgraded from 12.04 64b to 12.10 64b. Skype used to work fine. Now, it was not part of the upgrade and synaptic only shows a "skype" package that requires "skype-bin" which is non-existent....
SOLVED: I found a bunch of HELD packages when I examined the proper log file. When I removed the last one listed (something I did not recognize) I was suddenly able to complete the upgrade.
I just managed to upgrade to kubuntu 12.04. I use evolution, however, instead of kmail. After the upgrade, the "highlight" color for the selected email message and the area in the preview pane that...
Attempted to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04. Got the error:
Could not calculate the upgrade.
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:

Booting with Knoppix "failsafe" did the trick! I was able to see that grub's menu.lst had only two entries, even though the new 9.10 kernel had been installed. Once I manually added (edited) the 9.10...
Apparently, Kubuntu 8.04 LTS does not upgrade to 10.04 LTS in one step. (Ubuntu does.) Hence the problem.
The fact that this DL380 G3 has a hardware RAID also seems to be giving me problems when...
I have an Proliant DL380 that I use as a home server/router that I attempted to upgrade to Lucid. The gui upgrader first attempted to upgrade to 9.10 (as expected.)
I believe grub was incorrectly...
