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.
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.
That’s pretty slick.
What are the HDDs plugged into? Would you mind posting some photos of the back?
How might cat and/or tee fit into one’s coding workflow? Is it basically cat for displaying what’s been saved and tee for writing changes to a file?
Have you checked proton db to see what other gamers are saying about these two games?

Cool idea, although I thought part of the draw of all these various fediversal services was that they could already interact with each other natively.
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.
Oh, are you talking about the special big picture mode or whatever it’s called? B/c I use the full desktop experience.
I use Bazzite with multiple monitors. Can you clarify what you mean when you say another distro might meet OP’s needs better if they have more than one monitor?
On immutable distros, one can still get something not available as a flatpak by installing it in a distrobox container.
try to sneakily make me register passcodes
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.
Really glad to see World of Warcraft 64 gaining traction.
Noice! I am able to find this very thread through searxng, which seems to behave like an actual search engine with its own search results page, but I couldn’t find it through fedi-search, which seems to be little more than an auto redirect tool.
Hmm, this sounds like a really cool idea, but it doesn’t seem to do what I thought it would. For example, I went to https://fedi-search.com/ and searched for “stop internet searching” expecting to find this very thread, but alas, no dice.
I do this as well—I’m currently automating a repetitive workflow for work using python. What’s the latest project you’ve generated boilerplate code for?
I got into my new network share, albeit not anonymously, but that’s okay. Thanks for chiming in.
