It's better you post your screenshots on a online photo service like photobucket.com and include the IMG link in your post so that more people can help you with your sound issue (really, I don't know everything, although my kids still think I do ).TRZALICA wrote:Problem with sound still remains...

Sorry that I'm so late. I'm working on a revised DDM at the moment and it's taking every free minute I have.ronnietucker wrote:I've installed Mint DE KDE UP5 on my desktop machine (replacing my now bloated Kubuntu 12.04>12.10) but I'm getting unusually high CPU readings from Xorg.
It normally sits around 1 or 2%, but when I do anything it will jump to anything from 10-25% (for a few seconds) then drop again. It's not a major problem, but it does it when I press the K button, or even create a new tab in Chrome.
Not sure if this is the same problem and possible cure?

Oh, and one more thing:
Sharing a folder. When I right click, click the SHARE tab and tick the box to share a folder everything seems fine. But close that window, reopen it and the folder network icon is gone. Go into the properties and SHARE tab again and the box I ticked is now unticked. I've had to botch this by opening the Dolphin window as root and it will share that way.

No worries. I'm sure this distro baking thing takes up a lot of time.Sorry that I'm so late. I'm working on a revised DDM at the moment and it's taking every free minute I have.
I've been looking at the CPU usage issue, but never came any further than you already did.
Did you also have this issue when running live and were you able to solve it?

Weird. The first line (the copy command) worked fine. Second line (first testparm) gave the error:Schoelje wrote:I noticed a CPU usage jump of Xorg as well when I open a new tab in chromium, but it hardly lasts a second.
Maybe it's supposed to do that and it depends on the system's hardware configuration (type cpu, motherboard, just guessing).
The groups for your user look correct to me.
You could try this:
Create a samba passwordBackup smb.conf and add some configure items to it (you need to hit ENTER when the "testparm" lines are being executed):Code: Select all
sudo smbpasswd -a ronnie
Now check if everything is correctCode: Select all

Sorry, still no folder sharing. Same as it was before: I check the share box, but the settings don't 'stick'. When I close the window and reopen it the tick in the sharing box is gone.Schoelje wrote:Ok, just forget sudo, but login as su and start from the first testparm.ronnietucker wrote:Weird.

First, check if you are in the users group!
If not, add yourself to the users group, if you are, try this:Make sure the following is in the [global] section:Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
Create usershare directory if it not already exists with the right permissions (owner=root / group=users):Code: Select all

Restart samba:Code: Select all
