Hi, I am trying to access my Blackberry Playbook as a network folder. I can easily do this in windows by opening run and typing
\\192.168.0.19\media
it then asks for user and password and I can view the files on the Playbook.
I have Samba installed in LMDE, I tried the same line in a terminal with no luck.
Any one know how to do this simple task?
TIA

Re: Blackberry Playbook Share
If your were running Mint then it would be:
But since you're running LMDE you've got some stuff to do first:
Make sure the following package is installed. If they are not then install it:
You need to add yourself to the "fuse" group:
And you need to logout and login again.
Code: Select all
nautilus smb://192.168.0.19/media
Make sure the following package is installed. If they are not then install it:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install gvfs-fuse
Code: Select all
sudo gpasswd -a your_user_name fuse

This works for me, even using the USB cable, which never worked before when I was running Ubuntu.
But is it possible to share the Internet connection of the Linux Mint PC with the Playbook? i.e. Mint is connected via wired connection to Internet, Playbook connects to PC via USB cable, so how can Playbook then use Internet, without using Wi Fi?

Buy someone something for them online once and they will be happy for a day. Get them to get their own Internet connection and they will be happy for the rest of their life.
