Re: Sharing an arbitrary folder in Gnome Nautilus

I'll be damned!
It turns out I was blissfully unaware that both computer must have different host names.

Code: Select all

hostnamectl set-hostname laptop
Solved!

Maybe this will help others.

Re: Sharing an arbitrary folder in Gnome Nautilus

If I share a folder on computer #1, it shows on the computer #2 in Nautilus > Other Locations > Network > DEBIAN. But, if I share a folder on computer #2, the shared folders only show in Nautilus on computer #2 and NOT on computer #1. I set these computers up identically for file sharing, so why is ...

Re: Sharing an arbitrary folder in Gnome Nautilus

I've made some headway on this, albeit partially. smbpasswd -a username service smbd restart Did this on both computers. I can access shared folders by using Nautilus > Other Locations > Network > DEBIAN But it's only working in one direction. Could I be missing a package that needs to be installed?

[SOLVED] Sharing an arbitrary folder in Gnome Nautilus

I have 2 computers running Debian Bullseye that I wanted to share some files across. I've installed samba and nautilus-share on both. If I put a file in the Public/ folder, I can access it from the other computer. So everything is working. Except, if I share an arbitrary folder in my /home/user/ dir...

Do you mean when you use the BIOS boot manager?

The point that it fails to install GRUB, did you remember to create an Efi System Partition?

2019, usbs are pretty much becoming outdated, Debian still struggles immensely just to format and use usb drives. Where did you get that information from? USB is not outdated.

Why? I haven't got notify-osd in my autostart. And I wouldn't think that it would need an autostart entry either.

Re: Nouveau - works in Stretch, not in Buster

@dajames:
Is your video card an nVidia GeForce 6150. Is that AGP based or PCI-Express? It sounds old to me, so I'm guessing AGP.
AGP based cards are no longer supported by nVidia nor ATI/AMD.

Can you read other temperature sensors like CPU, video, etc. Could your CPU be getting hot and causing the SSD to get hot if it's close to it?.

Re: Debian 9 not loading after trying o install nvidia drive

When it suggested you reboot, you should have done just that. All would have been fine. Also, when you ran this command: apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*' ... did you check what it was removing? Using wildcards like that can lead to removing something you need if you're not careful. I suggest rein...
