Need help , I was trying to create a home nas with a installation of bionic pup 32 , I have set up nautilus file manager and nautilus share , I am a beginner and have only used Ubuntu that's why I am using nautilus to create the samba share problem is when I click create share it gives me error 255, net usershare:usershares are currently disabled , any solution?
I don't have much experience with the Nautilus file manager. what does your samba config file look like? Does Samba turn on from the Simple Samba GUI?
From the samba simple GUI it always shows that samba is on always cant turn it off but can't see the share on my windows PC.
Samba alway on??? Is that a standard for Bionic? I've never used it, so I ask Bionic specialist.
In EVERY pristine boot and use of all past PUPs, the Menu>Network>Simple SAMBA Manager starts with SAMBA deamon off (RED in box).
For a simple NAS use, here's an option for your review
Boot a modern PUP, pristine (ie. pfix=ram)
After FirstRUN setup and/or the PUPs desktop restart if it occurs, go to Menu>Network>Simple SAMBA Manager
SAMBA WILL NOT be started
Enter up to 3 sharenames and their paths to each
Click Apply ... after the utility runs it "apply checker" the Samba daemon which was Red will now turn Green
You can also see that your NAS resources are seen on your LAN by opening a terminal and typing
Code: Select all
smbclient -U% -L localhostIf your PC shows your definitions, then ALL PCs on your Home's LAN can see these same folders you are sharing. For example, here is a sample of 3 resources shared
I hope these instructions are simple enough for getting a simple NAS type solution working for you. These instructions will work for ANY/ALL modern WoofCE PUPs and most PUPs since 2015.
Let us know
Nautilus may need gvfs to be installed to access samba shares........
