Re: Use PC as a sim router

It should just be a matter of making the PC with the phone internet access a 'proxy server' and have all the other devices pointing to it through the router. The common proxy server software is 'Squid' which you can install and configure on the PC. There are plenty of articles available on how to se...

Re: Creating .desktop to run python script

billyswong's solution should work.

Just to correct my suggestion, I was using mate-terminal but gnome-terminal is a bit different, to run a script you need to specify to run in a shell.

So
gnome-terminal -- sh "/home/mrbushido90/runshell.sh"

may also work.

Re: Cannot connect to existing MySQL Database using Libre Office Base on Linux Mint XFCE.

Unless you specifically want to use JDBC to connect, you'll find the easiest way to connect to a mysql database is to use the 'Connect directly' option. But before you do that you need to make sure the libreoffice mysql driver is installed (it usually isn't installed by default). sudo apt install li...

Re: Apache2 has 'appeared' on my system

apt rdepends apache2 will tend to list all known software that has apache2 as a dependency regardless of whether it is installed on your system or not.

So to list only installed apps run
apt rdepends --installed apache2

Re: How to access my remote NAS

Have you tried the 'Connect to Server' option in your linux file manager.

It's found in the 'File' menu.

You could try the 'Windows Share' option since you said you can connect through Windows so a share must be aleady set up on your NAS.

Re: script ends > terminal closes - I want to stop close -- How?

markfilipak wrote: Sun Jul 03, 2022 12:31 am That works, but it doesn't. Let me explain. It does keep the terminal session going and the window open, but the text generated by ps $(xprop _NET_WM_PID | cut -d' ' -f3) never appears.
That's odd - I certainly tested it before posting and it works fine for me - on both Mate and Cinnamon. :?

Re: script ends > terminal closes - I want to stop close -- How?

Try just adding 'bash' at the end of the script.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

echo Click on any part of any window.
ps $(xprop _NET_WM_PID | cut -d' ' -f3)
bash
It should keep the terminal open.

Re: Mounting a NFS ahare on fstab

I don't think NFS has a native user/password option, access is usually controlled by ip addresses. Two common causes for 'access denied' are: 1. There is no NFS share called 'media' on 10.0.0.32 2. The ip address of the system trying to connect to the server is not in the Access Control List for tha...

Re: How to "push" MP3 from Android to play on Linux

Actually any DLNA/UPNP renderer should work.
There are a couple in the software repository.
One of the simplest is 'gmediarenderer' which is a process that runs in the background on the Linux box that BubbleUPnP can 'play' to.

Nope, he is already a member, but new files created by Bob get both Owner and Group set to Bob and Read-Only..
True, it won't work on an altered 'bob:steve' directory, only works on the default 'bob:bob' directory.

You could just make Steve a member of group 'bob' which gives Steve rw access.
