I've been playing with this tiny file sharing program called Droopy and thought I'd share it with the community.

Once you start the software anything in the designated share folder will be shared with anything that has a web browser - phones, tablets, other computers, even in Virtualbox between the host and guest OS.

Here's a video describing the program. One note while watching the video. The setup used in the video is NOT the same for Linux Lite. Installation directions are below.

Installation instuctions for Linux Lite 2

Install Droopy, in a terminal type

Hey,

Error warning (when ever i've tried to download and install a software package that is compatible with my version of Linux Lite 2.0)
Only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time !
Please close the other application first eg: update manager, aptitude, or synaptic first

What is going on - I'm getting frustrated with linux (also cant get my brand new supposedly compatible - printer to work) cant load drivers !

Please help i'm very close to going back to windows - linux is not very user friendly. Speaking as a former windows user. I mean I've read all over the web (pre-switching) that Linux was a great place to go to for former Windows users. REALLY ??   

Hello all,

I'm experiencing poor quality video playback in my browsers. Video playback in XBMC is flawless.
Initially I just tried Firefox on a fresh install and youtube looked bad, tearing and stuttering. I
tried Chrome thinking it was specific to Firefox, same thing with Chromium. Tried uninstalling
flash and reinstalling, same problem with video playback.

Hardware is capable, not flashy:

P4 2.8ht / also tried on a Pentium D 3.4
4 gig ddr2
hd7750

Other distros run on this machine run youtube with flash perfecty in 1080p.

If i set html5 on youtube it works... and as mentioned above XBMC running on Linux Lite, video
playback works great.

Flash is up to date (for linux), LL system is fully updated, processor has SSE.

Any suggestions on a fix would be appreciated. I really like Linux Lite.

Thanks for reading

Cannot get this printer to work through LL. It responds by throwing out a blank sheet.
In server settings I get "Cups server error. There is an HTTP error - not found." so I cannot adjust these settings.
I know the printer is OK (works on my windows machine) and that all necessary software is downloaded. I did select HP Deskjet 1000c as the nearest driver as I cannot find an exact match on Linux.
Anybody got any ideas? Thanks ..

Greetings from the UK.

Peace and gratitude to all

Happy you implemented this. It's a small request that makes a big difference in the end.

Installation:
Open the terminal and type in:

My setup:

I installed Linux Lite 2.0 on a PC on which I previously had Windows XP installed (my son suggested I try migrating to Linux for this machine so I figured why not...I have never worked with Linux before and here is a good opportunity).  It is merely an extra computer in the house that I use since others in the house are so often on my better computer which has Windows 8.1 installed.  Anyway, there are some files that I use quite often that I need to be able to access using both computers.  To do this, I have an SD card installed on an Epson Work Force 610 that is installed as a network printer.  The SD card is formatted in FAT32.

Since installing Linux Lite 2.0, there are some problems I cannot resolve without causing other problems.

a)  I can get to the memorycard via the network on Linux Lite 2.0 and can copy from and paste to the card using the file explorer type software.  But, other programs, such as LibreOffice, the text editor (Leafpad?), and GIMP cannot open files on the card this way or save files to the card.  The programs just do not seem to recognize the card in this setup.

b) I have read that to overcome a) one needs to mount the memorycard.  To do this, I have been trying to modify my fstab file.  Using the following:

//192.168.61.8/memorycard /home/rob/memorycard cifs credentials=/home/rob/.smbcredentials,sec=ntlm,rw,user,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

I can get the memorycard mounted such that the programs can open files from the card and can save new files to the card.  The problem is that if I try to save a file having the same name as a file already there (overwriting or just hitting the save button), none of the programs will let me.  When I try in Leafpad, it says “Can't open file to write.”  When I try in LibreOffice, I get three errors: 1)  “Error saving the document Procedures3:General input/output error while accessing”, 2) “Error saving the document Procedures3:General input/output error while accessing”, and 3) “Error saving the document Procedures3:General Error. General input/output error.” (all very similar but all three come up).  Furthermore, the file that I am trying to overwrite gets corrupted and useless but if I try again to save the still open file as another name, it will do it.  GIMP gives similar results.

c)  Thinking that the problem might be the fact that I am mounting it using cifs as opposed to vfat, I have made attempts at trying to mount the memorycard using:

//192.168.61.8/memorycard /home/rob/memorycard vfat credentials=/home/rob/.smbcredentials,sec=ntlm,rw,user,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

I have also tried other iterations using various options.  The problem I have with the above is that it won't mount.  I keep getting the following:

mount: special device //192.168.61.8/memorycard does not exist

Now clearly it exists because I can get it to mount using cifs.

So my ultimate question is how can I get this SD card mounted so that the programs can properly overwrite existing files, so I can modify files and merely hit the save button when using the Linux programs?

My current workaround is to have XP loaded in VirtualBox and use that to access things.  But that kind of defeats the purpose of using Linux Lite 2.0 so I would really like a better solution.
