Hey guys, I couldn't get the AMD-64 version to work, so i downloaded the 8.10 version, however this has no GUI/desktop, How does one load the GUI?

Alright, I've got my first Linux-run SMP unit running. This was a huge step for me. It was my first foray into Linux, even if it isn't a "pure" Linux environment. Now, onto running two SMP clients!

Couldn't get folder sharing to work. I followed the instructions exactly - I think so, at least, including the Samba password command in the terminal. After clicking the FAH folder's "share this folder," I then clicked on the "Create Share" button. The the "Share Name" box turned red and there was this message in the window,"'net' usershare' returned erro 255:net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares.Error Permission denied. You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share."

Ubunto does show in the Microsoft Windows Network. Clicking on the + sign only reveals "Printers and Faxes."

Update: I did an internet search and found a "net usershare" command. Running that in the termainal: "cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error. Permission denied. You do not have permission to create a userhsare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share."

Are you sure you create the samba user? Make sure to create the samba user and password and use this to access the shared folder.

Like below

Quote:

1. In your Ubuntu VMware install navigate to your Fah folder.

Click Places>Home and then right click on your Fah folder. Click share.
Type ubuntu for the password when prompted.
You will only need to install Samba (the windows option).
To make sure your folder is being shared go to System>Administration>Shared Folders
If not click add and choose the folder.

2. Next inside Ubuntu set your samba password and username by opening a terminal session (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and use the code below. For example use ubuntu as user and then you will be prompted for a password. Use ubuntu for the password too.

Code:

Code:

sudo smbpasswd -a ubuntu

Did you set your Samba to the same workgroup as your Windows?
