Easy Windows File Sharing from Linux:

Brought to you by: System76

File Manager not show your network shares?

Install Samba:

Samba is a re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol, it facilitates file and printer sharing among Linux and Windows systems as an alternative to NFS. Some users say that Samba is easily configured and that operation is very straight-forward. However, many new users run into problems with its complexity and non-intuitive mechanism.

• Install Samba

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install samba samba-common system-config-samba python-glade2 gksu nautilus-share

• Enable your user account as a Samba user

smbpasswd -e chase

Having troubles resolving computer names?

• Check your DNS settings

• Add the following stanza to smb.conf:

name resolve order = lmhosts bcast host wins

• testparm

testparm — check an smb.conf configuration file for
internal correctness

Bonus: Going through these steps will also make your Windows network file browsing work under your file manager too!

Further Reading:

• Setup your file share in /etc/samba/smb.conf or use system-config-samba

Runs Linux

Raspberry Pi Controlled Aquaponics

This build uses the IBC method of Aquaponics, with modifications to include a Raspberry Pi for controlling a pump, solenoid drain, and temperature probes for water and air temperatures. The relays and timing is controlled with python scripting. Temperature and control data is collected every minute and sent to plot.ly for graphing, and future expansion will include sensors for water level and PH values for additional control.

All of my scripts are available at github.com

ownCloud 7 Community Edition Enhances, Extends and Simplifies Control of Sensitive Data

ownCloud 7 Community Edition server-to-server sharing enables users on one ownCloud instance to seamlessly share files with a user on a different ownCloud installation without using share links — enhancing sharing and collaboration while maintaining security and privacy.

ownCloud 7 Community Edition also gives end users a “Dropbox-like” experience — complementing the security and privacy on the back end — with an entirely new web interface, mobile web browser support, file notifications in email or activity stream, and significant performance improvements.

“ownCloud 7 Community Edition enables greater collaboration even across ownCloud instances, as well as greater admin control, updated user management and improved external storage control,” said Frank Karlitschek, founder and leader of the ownCloud project. “And at the same time, added or improved installation and configuration wizards, completely overhauled sharing, and a new user interface significantly simplifies the ownCloud experience.”

Russia to ditch Intel, AMD in favor of homegrown ‘Baikal’ chips; will use GNU/Linux

According to a Russian business newspaper, state departments and state-run companies have no plans to buy PCs built around Intel or AMD processors. Instead, beginning in 2015, the government will order some 700,000 personal computers annually worth $500 million and 300,000 servers worth $800 million based on the Baikal chip.
