AspireOne within a network

I've followed the instructions and everything has succeeded except for the chown command above. I keep getting "chown: cannot access '/mnt/lan': No such file or directory".

I've opened pyNeighborhood and changed the settings advised, and manually added the drive that I'm trying to connect to. It adds correctly but I get the cannot mount error, presumably due to the fact that I haven't yet taken ownership of it.

Any advice would be gratefully received!

 

I had a couple of probelm with the pyNeighborhood install.

I didn't have /mnt/lan so I could not change ownership

So I made the /lan then chown.

In PyNeighborhood-0.4.1 .... pyNeighborhood was "command not found"

Dir said it was...

Any suggestions?

Sorry if this post is a duplicate... the registration process left me wanting slightly:

 

.Never mind. I got it.

I opened a new TERMINAL as user not root and it worked fine.

I found my machines.

Can't mount my win98 machine yet.....

 

I have the same problem. Any help?

 

I got everything to work, would not find the machines first, but after I added (Edit Add Machine) them with IP adress it was no problems.

I also got the chown: "cannot access '/mnt/lan': No such file or directory", had to create it first with the command "mkdir /mnt/lan/", after that it was no problems.

I got another question.
How can I make a shortcut to the program? as I would prefer to start it though an icon instead of through the terminal window.

 

I hope someone can help me here. I followed Fabien's instructions, but:

1. Received the install error: sub-folder '/icons' doesn't exist, during make install. There are no sub-folders in the pyNeighborhood folder after expanding pyNeighborhood-0.4.1.tar.bz2.

2. This line stops me proceeding:

pyNeighborhood

returns the error:

/usr/local/bin/pyNeighborhood: line 27: cd: /usr/local/bin/pyNeighborhood/src: No such file or directory

Thanks

 

I continue to have a failed to mount message.

Installed pyNeighborhood as described here and with the described changes to the options. Added a mount directory under /home/user/lan and specified in the program options.

Had a similar problem with OpenSuSE and resolved by (using a GUI) changing the UID on mount.cifs and umount.cifs - no such option appears using file manager on the Aspire and sudo is specified in the options.

I can scan for shares - that works.

Any other thoughts???

Update - check the error logs in ./pyneighborhood (home/user directory - show hidden files needs to be enabled in the file browser) it said could not find mount.cifs

Turns out I have to specify the location of mount.cifs and umount.cifs (/sbin)

Still will not mount a share but the errors in the error log are now different - will post later.

Update 2 - needed to remove sudo from mount.cifs and umount.cifs and use chmod to set the uid bit for the two.

chmod +s `/sbin/mount.cifs (assuming it is in /sbin) may need to run this as root

Now it mounts shares, but can not scan workgroups -seems to be authentication problem

 

No problems until "chown user.user /mnt/lan" - /mnt/lan - no such directory -
any advice ?

 

Covered previously in this topic - create a directory /home/user/lan this you should "own". Tell pyNeighborhood in the options that this is where shares should be mounted.

Guy

 

for me pyNeighborhood has to be launched with full path:
/usr/local/bin/pyNeighborhood
that might help a couple of others here.


EDIT: removed silly question that was my mistake.

 

Create your own directory under /home/user (I call mine lan). Then change the options in pyNeighborhood to use that directory for mounting shares.

Guy

 

You have to manually make the directory.

 

Help

I tried to install py , but after install make and gcc ... ./configure and make commands are ok, but with the command make install i have the following output.....


[root@localhost pyNeighborhood-0.4.1]# make install
`which python` ./compile
Listing . ...
install -d //usr/local/bin
install pyNeighborhood //usr/local/bin
install -d //usr/local/share/applications
install --mode=644 pyNeighborhood.desktop //usr/local/share/applications
install -d //usr/local/share/pyNeighborhood/icons
install --mode=644 icons/*.png //usr/local/share/pyNeighborhood/icons
install: cannot stat `icons/*.png': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1


thanks in advance for any help...

 

Clarification regarding the errors involving non-existence of the /mnt/lan directory:

Should I create only this directory, or also the /home/user/lan directory?

If Fabien is still around, maybe he could edit the original directions to include this code?

 

pyNeighborhood worked great. I can now mount shared folders on my Windows XP machine. I even managed to get a shortcut to the shared network folder on the simplified desktop.

One question though. How can I make pyNeighborhood automount the shares on startup?

 

I have the same problem. Just re-extract the archive with Full Paths enabled, repeat the instructions and it will work fine.

 

Hi,

Nice, I am able to access the shared folder on my XP machine, unfortunately I can't access the shared folder on my Ubuntu 8.4 hardy machine. The shared folder allows access by guests and I am able to access the folder from my Vista laptop, my XP machine and a Ubuntu laptop. Any suggestions??

Nice 4 different kind of operating systems within 3 square feet...

 

ok, problems intalling this.

I get to
cd /home/user/Downloads
tar -xvjf pyNeighborhood-0.4.1.tar.bz2

and I first type in
cd /home/user/Downloads

and it shows that I am at rootlocalhost Downloads then I type in this
tar -xvjf pyNeighborhood-0.4.1.tar.bz2

then it tells me that Child return status 2
Error exit delayed from previous errors.

what gives? Also, I can not copy and past into terminal or whatever program I am typing this stuff into. Help please.
