Problems Filesharing With Ubuntu & NFS

I've been trying to connect my MB to my roommates Linux PC running Ubuntu 7.1 in order to be able to stream media and share files.
-We are against the idea of using samba to do it; it just doesnt make sense to enable "windows" file sharing on 2 OS with a Unix past.
-FTP access works great except there is difficulty w/ streaming media.
-The third option is NFS, but neither of us have been able to figure out the method of connecting to his shared folders.
In samba its easy:
command+K "smb://192.168.123.102/home/downloads" - +prompted for UN & PW.+
However with nfs there is no such luck
command+K "nfs://192.168.123.102/home/downloads"
- "+could not connect to the server because the username or password is not correct.+"
Any Ideas?

My guess is that the Linux NFS server is requiring the client to use reserved ports (<1024). MacOSX doesn't use reserved ports by default. The "-o resvport" mount option must be specified, but even then only "root" is allowed to bind to reserved ports, so only mounts being performed by "root" will succeed when using that option. Mounts performed by a normal user (like those done via the Finder's ConnectToServer... menu) will never be able to bind to a reserve port. In that case, your only hope of getting it to work is to configure the Linux NFS server so that it doesn't require NFS clients to use reserved ports. This can be done with the "insecure" Linux NFS export option.

  • Dual boot with Ubuntu 13.0 using bootable USB problem (Y410P)

    Hi I recently bought Lenovo Y410P and have been since trying for hours to dual boot with Ubuntu but I was unsuccessful.
    I formatted by USB drive in FAT format, and created a bootable usb using Pendrive. Then I changed the Boot Mode to Legacy Support and the boot order so it boots from the flash storage first.
    Then it hung on a purple screen like this: http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3509/dgfdgrunningoraclevmvir.png
    and the keyboard doesn't work and I couldn't go any further from here.
    So I tried to use a different program called Unetbootin, and the problem got worse and it just stopped working at the option screen where you select whether to just try Ubuntu or install it, etc.
    I read it somewhere the recent version of Unetbootin doesn't work, so I got the 474 version of it, and finally I was able to select from the option menu and it didn't hang. However when I clicked on Install Ubuntu, it just stopped there for a while, and then the boot failed and moved onto Windows 8 again.
    I looked at the USB drive, and I realized the folder and some config files are names isolinux instead of syslinux, so I changed them, and now I'm getting the "SYSLINUX 3.86 2010..." words on the black screen and it hangs there.
    I saw a similar message before using Pendrive and it was like "SYSLINUX 4.10 2012...". That was because the flash drive wasn't formatted in FAT (it was FAT32). So I re-checked the drive, but it is indeed formatted in FAT so I'm not sure why now I'm getting a similar message.
    It will be much appreciated if you could give me some suggestions as to how to solve this problem.
    Thanks

    Something else you could try.  Not sure it will make any difference.
    Skip the boot creation tools and just boot the thing in UEFI mode.
    Use the latest (12.10 or later will work, IIRC) 64-bit Ubuntu ISO.  Format your flash drive as a single FAT32 partition.  Extract the contents of the ISO to the flash drive.  Use 7zip for Windows, or your favorite Linux de-archiving tool.  That's it.  
    [edit] I don't believe the partition needs to be set active, but haven't tested that.
    Set BIOS boot mode to UEFI.  Even secure boot mode should work withe a new enough Ubuntu - but isn't necessary.
    Give that a try.  If it still barfs at the same place, mess around with the start-up graphics options.

  • Firefox 7 does Win XP into a blue screen, when I use FF7 with Ubuntu on the same pc the pc does not crash. So it seems to be a problem of win XP and not my pc ....

    FF 7 opens and then after a few minutes the pc goes to a blue screen.
    the blue screen advices a bios upgrade, but with Ubuntu (most recent version) I can use FF endlessly without any problem.

    Instead GarageBand recognize my keyboard and i can play normally, also, if it can help, those are the Audio and Midi Logic Preferences and the Controller Surfaces Setup with the keyboard connected :

  • Re: BIOS version 3.30 Tecra A11/M11: Problems with Ubuntu systems?

    I just got the invitation to update to BIOS version 3.30 on my Tecra A11/M11.
    I'm still running Win7 right now but plan to add a dual boot with Ubuntu when the next LTS hits in April.
    Is anyone having trouble with the new BIOS?
    Should I upgrade, or leave 3.20 intact?
    I find no evidence of trouble with 3.20.

    Why to upgrade the BIOS if everything is OK?
    Furthermore as far as I know Toshiba does not support the Linux OS and I doubt the new BIOS would improve any Linux performance so if you are happy with the v3.20, stay with that

  • Problems setting up an NFS server

    Hi everybody,
    I just completed my first arch install. :-)
    I have a desktop and a laptop, and I installed Arch on the desktop (the laptop runs Ubuntu 9.10). I had a few difficulties here and there, but I now have the system up and running, and I'm very happy.
    I have a problem setting up an NFS server. With Ubuntu everything was working, so I'm assuming that the Ubuntu machine (client) is set-up correctly. I'm trying to troubleshoot the arch box (server) now.
    I followed this wiki article: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nfs
    Now, I have these problems:
    - when I start the daemons, I get:
    [root@myhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/rpcbind start
    :: Starting rpcbind [FAIL]
    [root@myhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/nfs-common start

    :: Exporting all directories [BUSY] exportfs: /etc/exports [3]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "192.168.1.1/24:/home".
    Assuming default behaviour ('no_subtree_check').
    NOTE: this default has changed since nfs-utils version 1.0.x
    [DONE]
    :: Starting rpc.nfsd daemon [FAIL]
    - If I mount the share on the client with "sudo mount 192.168.1.20:/home /media/desktop", IT IS mounted but I can't browse it because I have no privileges to access the home directory for the user.
    my /etc/exports looks like this:
    # /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
    # to NFS clients. See exports(5).
    /home 192.168.1.1/24(rw,sync,all_squash,anonuid=99,anongid=99))

    mountd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
    Any help would be very appreciated!

    Thanks, I finally got it working.
    I realized that even though both machines had the same group, my Ubuntu machine (client) group has GID 1000, while the Arch one has GID 1001. I created a group that has GID 1001 on the client, and now everything is working.
    I'm wondering why my Arch username and group both have 1001 rather than 1000 (which I suppose would be the default number for the first user created).
    Anyway, thanks again for your inputs.

  • Folder names with diacritics & NFS shares

    OK; sometimes things appear simple but are not. Sharing files with an OSX client has been, and is a nightmare in a Linux environment.
    We have a mostly Ubuntu environment and have tried Samba, and NFS. After a significant amount of work the Mac can do stable NFS Mounts provided the following unconventional settings are implemented:
    In the /etc/exports file on the Ubuntu server:
    /some/catalog/to/export 192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync,nosubtree_check,allsquash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,insecure)
    - anonuid needs to be user ID of the user on the server that is the owner of the catalog
    - anongid needs to be group ID of the group on the server that is the primary group for of the catalog
    On the Mac in Disk Utility/File/NFS Mounts:
    - Enter the correct paths
    - click "Advanced" and fill in: resvport,nolocks,locallocks,intr,soft,wsize=32768,rsize=32768
    This finally let's you mount the share
    However, after using the share for a while we discovered that folder names on the share that contains diacritic characters, including characters å,ä,ö and Å,Ä,Ö did not display in the file listing in Finder (In Path Finder Folder names are replaced with " -- "), nor could the folder be opened. However, right-clicking the " -- " in Path Finder and selecting "Get info" did display the correct path to the folder and did display the diacritic characters in the path correctly.
    In a catalog containing 264 folders that all had the same owner and the same group & permissions, 94 did not display properly in OSX/Finder and none could be opened. All 94 contained one or more diacritic characters (åäö or ÅÄÖ). None of the 170 others did contain any diacritics. Spaces, and e.g. "&" does not cause problems.
    With an Ubuntu client I can NFS mount the same server, and I do get the folder names displayed correctly and I can open the folders. It appears likely there is a bug in OSX - likely in Finder/Path Finder, since the correct path name is displayed in "Get Info".

    Gave up on this and downloaded Interarchy (RBrowser seems similar). This is not NFS and not Samba; rather FTP over SSH (SFTP). Secure, even for remote access and works out of the box, like breeze. All access rights intact . And there is a preview of file, rather that open on remote server...

  • Best method for networking with ubuntu linux

    Hi,
    I'm setting up an ubuntu linux fileserver, and I was wondering what the best method for filesharing with my mac is. I'm currently running osx 10.4.11, though I may be upgrading to 10.5 soon. I'll be running SMB networking for a couple of other computers, but I'd prefer something a bit more robust that can handle file permissions etc.

    Mac OS X supports NSF out of the box. Configuration isn't documented.
    I recall Apple got rid of net info manager in Leopard, so the configuration will be different. Perhaps more unix like.
    Mac OS X support the Unix Network File System (NFS). However, it leaves out
    the GUI.
    This page show you how to use NetInfo Manager:
    http://mactechnotes.blogspot.com/2005/09/mac-os-x-as-nfs-server.html#c1168221713 40271068
    NFS Manager can both setup NFS shares and connect to NFS shares.
    http://www.bresink.com/osx/NFSManager.html
    Once you figure out how NFS Manager configures the NFS shares, you can
    use Applications > Utilities > NetInfo Manager to create more shares.
    You will either have to coordinate Unix Userid number and Unix Group Id number or use the mapall option on the share.
    To find out your Mac OS X userid and group id do:
    applications > utilities > terminal
    ls -ln
    ls -l
    # lists the NFS share on your mac
    showmount -e localhost
    #list NFS shares on a remote host
    showmount -e remote-ip-address
    Once you see what NFS Manager does, you will be able to use NetInfo Manager to manage a connection. In Mac OS 10.4 you can configure the /etc/exports control file. See man exports for the details. Before that you had to have the data in NetInfo manager. When Mac OS X came out, many common Unix control files were not present. Instead the data had to be in NetInfo manager. Over time Apple has added more and more standard Unix control files.
    ======
    You do know about the need to match userids & groupids.
    # display uid and gid
    ls -ln
    sudo find / -user short-user-name -exec ls '-l' {} \;
    # on Mac OS X
    you will need to go into NetInfo Manager and select user and find your short-user-name. Change uid and guid.
    #on Linux look in
    /etc/passwd
    /etc/group
    # with care...
    # change 1000:20 to your values for uid:gid
    sudo find / -user short-user-name -exec chown 1000:20 {} \;
    The manual for Tenon MachTen UNIX (which Apple checked when doing Mac OS
    X) says that one should crate the file /etc/exports, which will cause
    portmap, mountd and nsfd to launch at startup via the /etc/rc file. The
    file must not contain any blank lines or comments, and each line has the
    syntax
    directory -option[, option] hostlist
    where 'directory is the pathname of the directory that can be exported,
    and 'hostlist' is a space separated list of hostnames that can access the
    directory. For example
    /usr -ro foo bar
    /etc
    /Applications
    /User/gladys gladys
    The client the uses a command like
    /sbin/mount -t type [-rw] -o [options] server:directory mount_point
    where 'type' is 'nfs', 'server' the name of the server, 'directory' the
    server directory mounted, and 'mount_point' the client mount point. See
    'man mount' for details.
    I haven't tried the above, but it would be nice to know if it works on Mac OS X.
    Hans Aberg
    This will give you some hints on NFS. Post back your questions.

  • Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu OS

    I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Edition and upgraded my BT broadband to Infinity on 28.12.11, using the same HomeHub3 that worked perfectly well with the old Total service.
    It doesn't work, wirelessly. I can get an apparently strong connection, but its agonisingly slow. At the same time, an ethernet connection works well, When I switch from one to the other and test the speed, I can watch the bandwidth fall away (i.e.: it isn't immediately disconnected.)
    Nobody at BT can or will help, telling me that Ubuntu is 'unsupported' (i.e.: it's my problem). I reported this problem to BT - ref: xxxxxx-xxxxxx - via its complaints form on 28.12.11, but have had no response.
    I've spent much time this past week on internet help forums. It transpies that BT has known about this issue with Ununtu for six months, but has apparently done nothing about it and cannot suggest a solution.
    Suggested workarounds from other Ubuntu users involve manually reconfiguring one's connection, but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings from N to G tech., but that only worked temporarily for me and, besides, my netbook is only a couple of year old.
    When I was sold Infinity, nobody mentioned that it doesn't work with Ubuntu. Frankly, I feel it was mis-sold as I intended to increase the bandwidth of my Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price. Not from where I sit, it isn't.
    The only solution I can see is to get BT to switch me back to their Total service, which suited me fine. I'm going to get their engineer to come back and uninstall Infinity. I will also complain to Offcom, as this situation could easily have been avoided had the BT sales person told me that Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu.

    Firstly your negotiating skills with BT are far better than mine....
    "....Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price"
    I was on BT Total BB and had to pay an extra £2 pm for Infinity and then an extra £4.75pm uplift of the calls package to give me the same anytime calls I had previously.... And had to re-start another 18month contract!!! Ohhh well.
    Right onto the problem... Webby's suggestion of making sure your on a clear or least used wireless channel is good advice.
    Here is the link to the free software http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
    Have a look at a demo,- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2kZCfYTxI
    To be honest I would move your HH3 from the Automatic setting to a fixed wireless channel as they seem to work better like that.
    If your Operating System won't work with Inssider I would then just try a different channel starting at 1 and work up... seeing how things go.
    Regarding setting your HH3 to wireless g, that is a very backward step as the most you'll get over that would be around 20Mbps depending on your distance from hub etc.
    Couple of pics comparing my speed test over wireless g and n in THIS POST.
    Another thing I would try is a wireless n USB adapter... just in case your m/c is only g 
    Links of how to identify what yours is and pictures of the difference in the "Network Sharing Centre".. 54Mbps being g and anything above is wireless n....
    Wireless n gives the best speed assuming your Infinity download IP is more than 20Mbps. Also wireless n signal is more robust penetrating walls etc.
    There are links to the type of wireless n adapters I use... Picture of one HERE, (Don't need the extender cable shown in that picture).
    wwwebber's post was very useful.-
    "I use Ubuntu on my laptop with BT Infinity & HH3 with no problems at all. BT is not at fault here - they do not support Ubuntu."
    Confirming Infinity and Unbunto do work... 
    You say ".....but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings .... but that only worked temporarily for me......"
    As changing settings worked temporarily you must have been able to log into your HH3. 
    If you really can't log in can you borrow a friends netbook running windows to get logged in perhaps? 
    Log in,- http://bthomehub.home/html/home/home.html go to Advanced settings, wireless. and change Channel settings from Automatic to a channel number then click on Apply.
    I would place your laptop near to the HH3 and move the HH3 wireless channel to a clear channel or start at channel 1.
    Try to get a good wireless n speed..... example of mine 37Mbps  over http://www.speedtest.net/
    Then when you have a reasonable speed move your laptop away... you will notice a drop over distance that's normal.
    I am 20' away from my HH3 and get 37Mbps through a plasterboard wall.
    Regarding other routers people have used http://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity/List-of-Routers-to-replace-Home-Hub-3/td-p/298203
    And see Ady's msg #21 and #25 in THIS THREAD.
    "'ll try the netbook in different locations over the w/e and hope from a solution from Ubuntu before remonstrating further with BT".
    Please let us know how you get on.

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

  • Internet connection dropping out throughout day; problem NOT with provider

    My computer's connection to the Airport Express base station has no problems at all. But the internet connection goes out literally dozens of times a day (at no predictable schedule); this has been happening for almost a month. I originally thought the problem was with the internet provider, but I'm now beginning to think that either my settings are wrong, or that I have a corrupt file somewhere. Here are the details:
    I connect via a cable modem (Time Warner - Road Runner). I know people have had problems with Time Warner, so I assumed that was the issue; however I've had 3 service calls and they've checked signal strength inside and out, and swapped out the modem and the cables. I don't think it is simply problems in our geographic area (i.e. greater Los Angeles) due to the fact that the Internet fails sometimes 40-50 times daily, and the problem began when I upgraded from an old Airport base station to a brand new Airport Express about a month ago.
    The airport/internet connection is shared 3 ways: two MacBook Pro computers and one iPhone. My Airport's internet settings are as follows:
    Configure IPv4 using DHCP.
    DNS Servers: 66.75.160.63 and 66.75.160.64 (note I have already tried swapping these for OpenDNS -- this did NOT solve the problem)
    Domain name: socal.rr.com
    DHCP Client ID: [blank]
    Ethernet WAN port: Default-Automatic
    Connection Sharing: Share a Public IP address
    DHCP Beginning Address: 10.0.1.2
    Ending Address: 10.0.1.200
    DHCP Lease: 4 hours
    NAT settings are all unchecked
    One of the main reasons I believe that the problem is with my computer's settings or a corrupt file is that I can fix the problem whenever the Internet "goes down" almost 100% of the time by doing the following: after loading Airport Utility, I make ANY trivial change (i.e. changing the DHCP lease from 4 hours to 5 hours) and then click UPDATE to refresh the Airport base station. This fixes the problem almost 100% of the time. But then, anywhere from 10 minutes to 3 hours later, the Internet connection goes down again. [Unplugging the power from the modem, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in ALSO fixes the problem almost 100% of the time, until it goes out again a little while later.]
    Also, I have tried disconnecting Airport and connecting directly to the cable modem via Ethernet. The problem remains exactly the same -- I can connect, but then the connection fails soon after. Unplugging then replugging the modem fixes the problem temporarily. So I do not think the problem is a defective Airport base station, nor do I think it is the modem (which has been replaced), nor Time Warner.
    I can't think of what else to try -- but any advice would be greatly appreciated -- it's impossible for us to work with the Internet constantly going out throughout the day, every day.
    Thank you!

  • Problem is with my iPhoto on my Macbook air.  I am trying to move my library from my airbag onto my passport drive.  I did it and deleted it from the airbag but it simply re appeared possibly from the cloud. Not sure what to do next.

    The problem is with my iPhoto on my Macbook air.  I am trying to move my library from my airbook onto my passport drive.  I did it and deleted it from the airbook but it simply re appeared possibly from the cloud. Not sure what to do next. Sorry I am not a techie.

    Sorry - we can not see you
    what do you have? Version of iPhoto? Of the OS? How is the passport connected to your Mac? What format is the passport (for the iphoto library it must be Mac OS extended (journaled)  )?  The iPhoto library is not and can not be on the cloud (maybe later with the Photos Application)

  • I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I  am using windows 7 professional install disc. I  can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.
