perfect - thank you!
had the same issue but now it works again
ladies and gentlemen ...
... we have a winner
but there isn't a direct connect between somebody printing in a mall and the letter you send later
put it on a usb stick and print it in the mall/library
i like how you think
you don't have to provide an address ... you generate a token on their site, print it out, put it in an envelope and send it with cash to them.
they receive the cash and activate the token based on the cash provided with it
see their faq Can I really pay with cash?
You bet, and please! Stay anonymous all the way. Just put your cash and payment token (randomly generated on our website) in an envelope and send it to us. We accept the following currencies: EUR, USD, GBP, SEK, DKK, NOK, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD
.
Feel free to do so and handle the issues you'll face.
i don't get your problem with smbv1 and your complaints about it tbh ... its deprecated in ubuntu since 20.04 - samba v1 is not the only way to access via ubuntu - and its by far not recommended. you might have configured it because out of the box its not the supported version
your downvotes and the reactions you get is because of your atitude man ... there are plenty of people who would help ... but coming to a linux thread complaining how bad your experience is and complaining about how bad the comments are without doing your part is just a bad style
i read a couple of followups - i do not see a single log output, just complaints
the whole linux world is about configuring your system the way you(!) want it to have - thats the difference to windows, thats the difference to mac ... but if you don't want to do the config stuff, you go with a ready to use one ... ubuntu might be one of them
you face samba issues - write an issue so somebody can help ... what have you already changed (because smbv1 is NOT the default version of ubuntu), what did you try to make it use smbv2/3 - what errors did you get? there are thousands of tutorials available for ubuntu - which one did you follow, did you do the config in the file manager (the default one or did you install a different one) .... etc
your kodi issue about framerates is a kodi issue and a short search shows that this issue also happens on mac for example - which i somehow understand because changing framerates has affects to the change of the window server so someone must decide either take what kodi is saying to take or what is configured for the output device, so there might be a trickery in kodi to do it and that might be the issue. but it could also happen becuase of multiple displays - with differrent framerates - who knows .... and how shall we know to support you if you just spend your time complaining
your docker issue with a downloaded deb package from the net .... wtf - first of all why not use something from the repositories .... getting out of just downloading something from someone and installing it should be prio 1 when changing to linux .... but how hard could it be to do a sudo apt install ./filename.deb
do not tell me you spend 5min on the investigation ... you want to have an out of the box solution which you can complain about - that's not linux
you want a os which lets you do whatever you like - thats linux .... you don't know how its done and you're not willing to learn but still want to do some crazy shit - that's not linux
so to summary your first steps were:
- accessing a inhouse NAS
- setting up kodi and trying to switch refresh-rates & HDR
- running some docker UI
i have 2 question - if you want to run rather advanced stuff
- why not invest some time to check how its done in linux?
- why did you chose a beginner distro focusing on the 80% needs of a home user
all of your described usecases are possible - no exceptions, but after you obviously spent decades of time in other desktops, you might move out of your comfort zone to make the next step. ubuntu is pretty easy for the easy stuff, linux as it is makes a fantastic system if you want to do some advanced stuff, but it lets you do the decisions (which means you(!) have to gain the skill to do the decisions)
we're here - the community is here to help ... but not here to do pre-sales for someone .... my tipp:
- check what you want to do
- check how its done
- do it
- you face a problem - provide a description and ask for a solution, but do your part
long story short - i think 90% of users would be happy with windows, mac os and linux just the way all of them come out of the box. most of the time they spend in a browser, checking photos or consume some media .... all of before mentioned OSs can do that pretty much without any hickups
if you go into the advanced stuff its a different story. macOS will do lots of decisions for you (but they might not be in your interest). windows has such a big user base that you have a great chance to get some ready to use description because somebody faced the exact same problem years ago. linux - advanced stuff - but no willingnes to learn - yeah man, that won't be a good match
Very well done list ... Thx fellow penguin
