Please review my A300 design plan

[AtariBaby]

Thanks. I'm glad you're around tonight! That didn't work. Is that guide, the way I edited fstab or something? sickbeard still can't create a directory, and viewing from ubuntu guy, the folder has a padlock on it and permissions says "you do not own this folder and cannot make changes to it". Something I need to do on the PCH side of the folder this local folder represents?

[halfelite]

this is nothing on the pch side. if connect and samba works and and only sudo commands work then its on the ubuntu side.

what user are you using. You might need to sudo chown -R username /path/path/path

which will change the owner to whatever you want it to be.

[AtariBaby]

oh man

Ran:

sudo chown misterfantastic -R /home/misterfantastic/Downloads/sickbeard/complete/
[sudo] password for misterfantastic:
misterfantastic@RobbieTheRobot:~$ sudo chmod -R 777 /home/misterfantastic/Downloads/sickbeard/complete/

Sickbeard:
Unable to add show
Unable to create the folder /home/misterfantastic/Downloads/sickbeard/complete/Comedy Bang! Bang!, can't add the show

Folder still padlock on it, still says "you are not the owner" in properties.

---

Following this guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/150028/yo...ess-folder i navigate to the folder and right click and if I change owner to something other than root, it snaps right back. Won't let me change anything here.

what happens if you delete the folder from your normal desktop and try again without it?

[AtariBaby]

I can't delete the folder as "me". If I go in through gksudo nautilus, and try to move it to the trash, it says I can't do that and would i like to delete it immediately. details: Unable to trash file: Device or resource busy

If I say yes to delete immediately, it says it can't be deleted, device or resource busy.

[accident]

Is that trying from your ubuntu machine? what about from your normal desktop.. can that connect to the pch and delete it?

[AtariBaby]

Okay, I think I follow you. I was able to easily navigate to the //10.0.1.3/share/TV folder and delete it, though it said I had to "delete it immediately".

I then went back and tried sickbeard and tried again to add show and got the error message again.

[halfelite]

ok lets start over. umount the mount point and edit your fstab to look like this


//10.0.1.3/share/TV /home/misterfantastic/Downloads/sickbeard/complete/ cifs username=nmt,password=1234 0 0

I am assuming //10.0.1.3 is the pch

after you edit that save it then run sudo mount -a to mount everything in fstab.

then go into /home/misterfantastic/Downloads/sickbeard/ and type ls -l and paste the output here.

[AtariBaby]

sudo mount -a initially gave an error message

mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

So I navigated to the pch and I created the folder TV, then then mount -a didn't complain.

Then I did:

misterfantastic@RobbieTheRobot:~$ cd /home/misterfantastic/Downloads/sickbeard/
misterfantastic@RobbieTheRobot:~/Downloads/sickbeard$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Aug 11 21:12 complete
misterfantastic@RobbieTheRobot:~/Downloads/sickbeard$

[halfelite]

now run sudo chown misterfantastic /home/misterfantastic/Downloads/sickbeard/complete


then do cd /home/misterfantastic/Downloads/sickbeard/ and type ls -l again paste output

[AtariBaby]

Thanks to you both for the help.

total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Aug 11 21:12 complete

[halfelite]

ok umount the mount point again. then do sudo chown misterfantastic /home/misterfantastic/Downloads/sickbeard/complete

It might not let you change it while something is mounted. So we need to unmount. then change then run mount -a again to remount the share.

[AtariBaby]

done!

[halfelite]

did it work?

[AtariBaby]

oh mount -a didn't complain! Should I do ls -l again?
