  • How does one actually get laptops from local electronics recycling? I keep reading about getting EOL equipment but details on how to actually get one's hands on such equipment are scant.

  • I got into my new network share, albeit not anonymously, but that's okay. Thanks for chiming in.

  • My new public samba share asks for authentication [RESOLVED]

    Jump

  • Gotcha. FWIW I got in after following the instructions in the "Optional" paragraph about setting up users for authentication - I added a Linux and Samba user called shareuser, set the new user as the owner of /mnt/ShareDemo, and updated the config.

    Thanks for confirming my suspicion. This was really going to eat at me if nobody else chimed in, so you really saved me from questioning my own sanity.

  • Gotcha - thanks for clarifying. I tried logging in w/ login and password of guest, but that didn't work, either. FWIW I successfully authenticated after following the "optional" part of the tutorial (created a new user shareuser, made it the owner of /mnt/ShareDemo, and updated smb.conf).

    Based on non_burglar's and frongt's comments, I think I'm willing to file this experience under either incomplete or incorrect tutorial. Importantly, I have learned something about setting up a local Samba share, so I thank you for helping me.

    Jump

  • This helped, thank you!

    What has me scratching my head is that in the tutorial I was reading from, it mentions setting up users but very explicitly labels that section as "Optional." Anyway, I got in after following the instructions in that paragraph - adding a Linux and Samba user called shareuser, setting the new user as the owner of /mnt/ShareDemo, and updating the config. Unlike in the tutorial, I kept browseable = yes so that I can still browse to the folder in my file manager.

     
        
valid users = shareuser
public = no
writable = yes
browseable = yes

  • Sorry, I'm trying to understand your comment. Are you suggesting I put something else in place of nobody:nogroup when I set ownership of the ShareDemo folder, or is the issue that I have to actually create a user called nobody and a group called nogroup? Or should I create a different user and group specifically for this samba share? Thanks.

  • This funniness only affects market orders, right? I reckon most retail orders are market orders, just wondering if I understand correctly. If I place a limit order, then I don't have to worry about the $5 I saved on a $0 fee transaction being made up elsewhere, although I suppose the tradeoff is that my order may not be filled at all.

    Can you expand on this? I'm not sure what this means. Is it like instead of a full fledged password, just a four digit PIN or something? Thanks.

  • I'm getting "Error setting installer parameters" while attempting to set up a new VM in Virtual Machine Manager [SOLVED]

    Jump

  • Thanks - this got me past the original issue. What I did is I opened up Flatseal and granted access to all system files for Virtual Machine Manager.

    However, now I'm stuck at a different point. I can get past where I choose how much memory, CPU, and disk storage to allocate, but when I get to Step 5 and click Finish,

    This happens:

     
        
Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2025-06-22T17:16:36.091623Z qemu-system-x86_64: -blockdev {"driver":"file","filename":"/run/media/myusername/path/to/installers/debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso","node-name":"libvirt-1-storage","read-only":true}: Could not open '/run/media/myusername/path/to/installers/debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso': Permission denied'

    This message is talking about permission denied, so I checked the file permissions, and I saw that the ISO file is owned by the qemu user:

     
        
myusername@fedora:~$ ls -la /run/media/myusername/path/to/installers
total 101472336
drwxr-xr-x. 2 myusername myusername       4096 Jun 16 14:47  .
drwxr-xr-x. 6 myusername myusername      12288 Jul 29  2024  ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 myusername myusername 7547453440 Oct 17  2024  bazzite-gnome-stable.iso
-rw-r--r--. 1 qemu       qemu        702545920 Jun 12 17:00  debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso

    I changed it to myusername:

     
        
sudo chown myusername:myusername /run/media/myusername/path/to/installers/debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso

    When I tried the same steps again, I got stuck in the same place and rerunning ls showed that the ISO file's ownership has reverted back to qemu.

    Any ideas?

  • I'm getting "Error setting installer parameters" while attempting to set up a new VM in Virtual Machine Manager [SOLVED]

    Jump

  • Here are the results of some commands that I believe answer your questions. When I run the ls command against that directory, it says no such file or directory. Could this have something to do w/ the fact that Virtual Machine Manager is running as a flatpak? (as the other commenter @[email protected] has hinted)

    Here's what I tried:

    what are the permissions of /run/usr/1000/doc/c0a3c3fc

     
        
myusername@fedora:~$ ls -la /run/usr/1000/doc
ls: cannot access '/run/usr/1000/doc': No such file or directory

    what user are you running VMM as

     
        
myusername@fedora:~$ ps aux | grep virt-manager
myusername      17995  0.0  0.0   3688  2048 ?        S    13:05   0:00 /usr/bin/bwrap --args 40 -- virt-manager

myusername      18013  1.5  0.3 889968 101424 ?       Sl   13:05   0:00 python3 /app/bin/virt-manager

    EDIT: I got past this issue by opening up Flatseal and granting access to all system files for Virtual Machine Manager; however, now I'm getting stuck on another permission issue after I choose how much RAM, CPU, and disk space to allocate. Reference my response to @[email protected]'s comment.
