Linux Mint Forums

That worked, thank you.

Hello, I haven't done a whole lot of stuff with Linux Mint other than basic booting, and music play back. Everything seemed to work fine, now I am trying to download REW which if you are not familiar with it is a room equalizer software. When I click on the link to download, I get a (Could not open ...

Ok I followed the steps but for some reason it is still not auto mounting. I must be missing something, sometimes this open source stuff works great, others y9u really need to understand all the terminology to figure it out. Ok gigolo just wont autostart, if I go to menu search gigolo and click on i...

When I try to creat a dirctory with mkdir I get "cannot create directory ‘smb://readyshare/’: No such file or directory"

I'm kinda confused by this topic. What i want to do is mount ready share to Linux Mint 17 mate. Ok I am back, as this didn't turn out as I expected. I have done some research and it appears I need to make a directory or something. Some of this seems to be foreign language to me. From what i get I h...

Ok, it seemed to work this morning. I am going to play around with this and see how it is working. I will report back.

I'm kinda confused by this topic. You want to have this networked attached usb drive mounted automatically when you login right? I'm not getting the connection to solving that issue with a launcher. .[/color][/i] Sorry I have been out of town on business. What are you confused about, yes I would li...

Then after reboot this icon automounts and opens the Theatre 2 folder. Now I choose a custom icon by right clicking and select Properties, click on the icon symbol and choose. I have had difficulties when changing this icon during initial creation of the launcher. Ok I now I have the auto launch ic...

This is what I do I have to go to computer->browse network- Once you do this just then right click anywhere on your desktop and choose "Create Launcher" . Type: choose "Location" --give it a name, and in the Location window point to the NAS folder. Then open VLC and point to thi...

It appears I have some how saved a copy of ready share usb storage device to my desk top. I can't go into it and select musci from my phone, but I cand from the laptop itself.

Just wanted to take the time to say thanks, I am able to do everything I was wanting to do. I have a couple kinks to work out. But I have downloaded Linux mate, vlc and am now playing music while controlling with my phone. There where some things to work around such the firewall, and setting it up b...

Everytime I log on to Linux, I have to go to computer->browse network->then select my usb storage in order for vlc to see it. Is there a way that I can save it so its all ways there.

Hi duder, You could install GUFW (graphical configuration tool for UFW) and then adjust the rules to allow inbound connections to VLC from your local LAN. Cheers! Cool, looks simple enough. So I would create a rule to allow incoming for port and it should allow my phone to see VLC. I will give it a...

Hi I am running Linxu mint 17 mate, I currently have a firewall installed. But if wont let me connect my phone so I can use it as a remote for VLC. Is there a recommended Firewall that I can set up that will allow me to leave it on but allow my phone to access VLC. I am currently using Uncomplicated...

OK I have narrowed it down to possibly being a Linux issue or my laptop issue, as I can now get it work with my pc. I just can't get it to work with my laptop. I will update this post as well but is there anyone out there that may have an idea.

Ok first off I know this isn't a VLC site, which I have tried but haven't gotten an answer. So I thought I would try the knowledgeable folks here. I have Mint 17 mate(I have all so tried this on WIN 7). I installed VLC to my laptop that has LM17 mate, I changed all the preferences. I set my phone se...

I guess I just went off of what windows vista that was installed, What kind of difference will I notice. To change it I take it I will have to download the 64 bit and start over.

Marty, thanks for the reply. I will look into that. So basically Samba would allow me to access the files on Windows machine, through the Linux machine. I would then use VLC to play the music.
