Samba: write access from Ubuntu but not arch ?!?

Hi !
I am currently dual booting Arch and Ubuntu on my laptop and have a problem with getting write access to samba shares on an Arch mythtv backend.
I have full write access when using Ubuntu on the laptop, but when I boot into Arch I can see the shared folders and their contents, but I do not have write access.
The laptop Arch and Ubuntu user names are the same, as are the passwords (in case that matters).
This is the smb.conf on the Arch backend:
[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
netbios name = BACKEND
server string = laffi
wins support = yes
wins server = 192.168.1.103
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
map to guest = bad user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = no
dns proxy = no
guest account = laffi
[public]
path = /home/laffi
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes
Any ideas ?

Nothing ?
This is currently the show stopper for switching my laptop to Arch, so any help with getting this problem sorted will be much appreciated ;-)

ATI Radeon HDMI works in Ubuntu but not Arch

Hi,
is there any reason why HDMI works for my laptop in Ubuntu but not Arch? They are both apparently using the same open source ATI Radeon (not HD) driver.
The card is an HD 4225 (RS880M I think).
Thanks, Jamie Kitson

The driver versions are very similar, 6.13.1 Ubuntu and 6.13.2 for Arch and Xorg are both 1.9.0. I have reported a bug here:

[SOLVED] hp tx2000 tablet pc works in ubuntu but not arch

im running arch64 on my hp pavilion tx2000 tablet pc. the wacom is configured as a usb wacom in ubuntu and works perfectly
(i used this thread and that is how i got it work in ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … st5469447)
i installed linuxwacom using yaourt without any problems, however when i type
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
the wacom doesnt appear. i tried both the wiki guides from arch (tablet pc and wacom tablet) as well as the troubleshooting, but i cant detect my wacom i also tried copying over my xorg.conf from ubuntu (i am dual booting ubuntu and arch) but that isnt working either.
wacdump -f tpc /dev/ttys0
12:16:16.936 ERROR: Failed to open /dev/ttys0: No such file or directory
WacomOpenTablet: No such file or directory
xidump -l
Virtual core keyboard keyboard
Virtual core pointer disabled
Generic Keyboard extension
Configured Mouse extension
xidump -u stylus
Unknown ui option stylus; was it configured?
here is the output of some suggestions from the "wacom tablet" arch linux wiki - the tablet does appear under lsusb
lsusb
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 056a:0093 Wacom Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 08ff:1600 AuthenTec, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 064e:a110 Suyin Corp.

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:171d Hewlett-Packard
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
so next i created 10-local.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d (as suggested) and put this into the file
KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom"
but then when i do /dev/input and then ls...the wacom doesn't appear (even after restarting udev and restarting the computer)
wacomcpl does work, however there are no buttons for stylus, eraser etc.
i feel like ive tried eeeeverything (im starting to get confused now) - but i know it has to work because it works in ubuntu, and we all know arch is superior to ubuntu riiiiight???
what can i try next?? are there any arch users with the tx2000 pavilion?
thank you

okay, i fixed it! i returned to the original ubuntu forum i had used...apparently the pci settings must appear in the xorg file, if you dont know how to do this just go here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … ost5469447
you can download his sample xorg to see it.
now here's the thing, the archlinux wiki says to add a line that says:
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
and
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
i had to remove those for each stylus, eraser and touch. i also removed the cursor and made it into touch. here are my xorg settings:

next i have to configure my synaptictouchpad (so the scroll function works), my fingerprint scanner, my webcam and all my extra little buttons (also the screenrotate thing) if anywone has quickfixes id be happy to know otherwise its back to google.

Bluetooth USB Dongle works in Ubuntu but not Arch

My "Conceptronic Bluetooth 2.1 USB Nano adapter (CBT2NANO)" works in ubuntu correctly but when I try to use it in Archlinux the kernel says:
hub 6-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
and the logs are flooded with this message.
it think that the problem is a bluez patch not included in the arch linux repositories.
(My first Lang is Spanish, so I can be wrong in the grammar, sorry)
I hope that someone know where is the problem and help me to fix it.

there is a problem with the kernel!, Actually I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I keep having the same issue, but when I connect my dongle in the USB 3.0 port, it works and is recognized as a Full Speed USB Device:
usb 3-3: new full speed USB device number 37 using ohci_hcd
When I use a USB extension (Cable) or connect the device in USB 2.0 Port, dmesg says:
hub 3-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 3
once, again, again, and so on.
And I think the problem is in ohci_hcd module.
If at first the dongle works in USB 2.0 Port I want it working in this Port too, couse some PC have not USB 3.0 Port, and my USB3.0 is in the back panel, so the signal is worse.
thanks for any help.

Server 10.4.6 rejects Webdav access from GoLive, but not from Dreamweaver

I have two web server Macs, running 10.3.9 and 10.4.6.
The 10.3.9 has no problem accepting connections from GoLive CS 8.0 (tryout version).
The 10.4.6 server will NOT let GoLive CS 8.0 (tryout version) connect to it. GoLive reports "cannot connect to http" THEN displays the underlying webdav error: "connection closed when expecting more data"
BTW BOTH servers accept Webdav connections from Dreamweaver, Transmit, various PC apps, etc. Only GoLive is being rejected.
Does anyone know why the the latest OS X Server would dislike GoLive so intensely?
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, I don't have further advice based on your answer. I was only suggesting it as an area to check for inconsistency.
My understanding though, is that Basic authentication is best to be used for authenticating browsers for reading pages behind protected realms, and Digest was best suited for read/write WebDAV clients, although I can't now find the source of that info.
Perhaps test with Digest?

Want to delete mails from Thunderbird but not from the server?

Hi,
Please tell me how to configure the settings of Thunderbird so that if i delete any mail from Thunderbird that mail would be delete only from Thunderbird not from server. I'm using IMAP configuration for all my mail accounts and I'm using Thunderbird in my laptop and tablet both.
Currently i'm using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and i just want to delete my useless mails from Thunderbird but not from the server without using pop-3 settings.
Actually the reason for this Question arises because whenever i use to uninstall and reinstatement Thunderbird, i use to take "profiles" as a back up and its size is increasing day by day that is making a big issue to me as i cant take a back up of such a big size file.

Imap mail accounts keep the emails on the server and you see a remote view of those emails and folders.
When you subscribe to see a folder, the headers are downloaded, when you select an email to read, the entire folder is downloaded to a temp cache facilitating quicker access. If you synchronize folders, then a copy of that folder is downloaded to an mbox file in your profile, so that you have a copy of the server folder. When you make any changes to a synchronized folder, read an email, delete or move etc, then Thunderbird will resynchronize with the server to update the server. A synchronized folder allows you to work in 'offline' mode and this is the best time to perform a backup as you know there is a temporary stop on synchronizing as you are offline. They will resynchronize when you go back into 'online' mode.
So, with IMAP mail accounts, the folders you see in Thunderbird are the same folders on the webmail server. If you make any changes via Thunderbird or webmail then you are changing the same folder. You cannot delete an email without deleting it from the server, they are one and the same.
What you can do is move/copy an email into Local Folders and delete the one on the server. The Local Folders emails are kept in your Profile on your computer, these folders/emails are not on the server, unless you chose to keep a copy of them on the server.
Pop mail accounts cannot see the folders on the server. They only access the server Inbox folder and download emails not previously downloaded to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. These emails are kept on your computer in your profile folder. You can select to keep a copy on the server or not. You can choose to delete emails off your computer and off the server or not.
If the mail account is gmail , have you subscribed or even synchronized to see the 'All Mail' folder ? Gmail's all Mail folder is their Archive folder, it keeps a copy of all of your non-deleted emails. So, you do not need to subscribe to see this folder as it only shows you what you can already see in other folders. It doubles the disc space.
Please read section on 'All Mail' at this link.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite
You do not have to download/synchronize the entire folder. You could select to only synchronize the most recent xx days of emails.
see info here:
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization#w_configuring-synchronization-and-disk-space-usage

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL.

Firefox 33.0.2 on Windows 8.1 64 bit. Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL and hit <enter>, in which case nothing happens at all.
I have found that issue reported for Ubuntu (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011935?esab=a&as=aaq) but not for Windows. The solution there to change the keyboard is not feasible since it's a laptop with a built-in keyboard.
I did not have this issue with FF 28 (I finally upgraded because I was getting BSODs) and I don't have this issue with any other Browser on same platform.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Delete contacts from icloud, but not from iphone

I want to delete all my contacts and calendar appointments from iCloud, but not from my iphone, and i still want to have iCloud turned on in the future.
I have tried to delete the iCloud account from my iphone but when i log in to iCloud.com from a computer the contacts are still there even though i deleted the iCloud account.
How do i remove these things only from iCloud?

I fixed it, i had to turn off the syncing of the contacts and the calendar on the phone and then delete them from iCloud. Obviously if i turn on the syncing of these items again the contacts and calendar appointments will reappear in iCloud.
So problem solved.

Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ?

Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ? iPad only prints 4x6 on full size paper. It's an HP 8600.

I also have this problem printing photos from an iPad to an Epson WF-2540 printer. It prints only 4x6 and without border (so print starts at extreme top left corner of paper). Borderless printing is not selected on printer. Printing a square photo just crops to 4x6 size.

Delete Apps from MacBook but not from iPhone

How can I delete Apps from iTunes but not from iPhone 3GS when I Sync them? The moment I delete the Apps from iTunes and then sync iPhone, iPhone deletes them as well.
Please assist.

If you intend to ever sync your phone with your Macbook then you can't delete the app from your Macbook, otherwise the apps will also delete from your iPhone (as you've discovered).
