rock64/ubuntu start-up

[MrPosull]

Concerning the wifi, my wifi dongle is detected, but as i did not find a way to use it, i installed the package "network-manager-gnome". After that i have a icon in the taskbar but the icon has a little red cross over it. A clic on it, shows a menu in wich there is an item corresponding to my wifibox. But selecting this item do nothing; if i select the 'Edit connections...' item, a window is open showing my wifi box, but once again trying to edit these connections do nothing. Well,  probably it is necessary to install another packages, but which?

I'm running Ayufan's Bionic-LXDE 0.6.44 and had the same issue with the WiFi and tried installing "network-manager-gnome" but that didn't work. What worked for me was installing Wicd network manager "sudo apt-get install wicd", then I was able to select what wifi network to connect to, etc.  
Cheers

Hi,

I did not have such line 

Code:

name resolve order = bcast host

in my smb.conf file, so i added it. Unfortunatly this change only the error message from "connection refused" to "invalid argument"  . So, i executed the command smbclient and i got this:

Code:

smbclient -L 192.168.1.72
WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
Enter WORKGROUP\rock64's password:

thanks for your help

This is starting to frustrate me as much as it is probably doing to you. I've got one last idea. In smb.conf again, add:

Code:

client min protocol = SMB2
client max protocol = SMB3

Save and restart smbd/nmbd.

Hi fire219
with SMBD2/3 as min/max protocol, now smbclient -L 192.168.1.72 gives:

Code:

Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_REVISION_MISMATCH
SMB1 disabled -- no workgroup available

the errors 'NT_STATUS_REVISION_MISMATCH' is always here, i made an apt aupdate/upgrade but this change nothing for smclient. Perhaps something wrong with bionic-LXDE, but what?

Is "WORKGROUP\rock64" a valid user for the network shares? Maybe do the following instead (substituting your username for <WinUsername>)

smbclient -L 192.168.1.72 -U<WinUsername>

Hi,
there is a difference; $smbclient -L 192.168.1.72 -U winusername gives:

Code:

Reconnecting with SMB1 for workgroup listing.
Connection to 192.168.1.72 failed (Error NT_STATUS_RESOURCE_NAME_NOT_FOUND)

and if i set min/max protocol to SMB2/3 in smb.conf, this gives:

Code:

better news,

i tested the connection to the rock from a pc. To do this i added these lines

Code:

[test]
    comment = For testing only, please
    path = /export/samba
    read only = no
    guest ok = yes

to smb.conf file, and

Code:

$mkdir /export/samba/test
$chmod 777 /export/samba/test

and this works   . So i suspected a problem on the PC (on windows7), so i tested with another pc (on widows 10), and this works .   . Of course, i have no problem to  connect from one pc to each other. In all cases i use my WinUsername/Password. Perhaps i have to verify some things on the win7 pc  
Thanks to all of you for your helps and sorry if i made you lose time.
regards
