Netboot. Mount Shares Locally. Mounting your Samba shares locally is useful when you are using Greyhole, and want to write or in any way work with those files locally. Greyhole data should only be accessed through shares, so mounting those shares locally is an easy way to work with Greyhole data safely. Download and Setup As root: Install the mount_shares_locally initd script: On Amahi 7 (Fedora 19) curl -o /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally chmod +x /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally chkconfig --add mount_shares_locally On Amahi 6 (Ubuntu 12.04) sudo apt-get install cifs-utils curl sudo curl -o /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally sudo update-rc.d mount_shares_locally defaults Configuration Edit /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally (as user root) in a text editor, and replace your_username (on line 12) with your username.
Vi /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally Enter the following: rm S-1* with. VNC. NOTE: there is now a one-click VNC App Using VNC is useful if: You would like a Linux desktop to the HDA remotely You run your HDA headless (no monitor) and like to still use a desktop in it You would like to use a GUI to configure printer(s) or have a scanner or other device that requires a desktop program to configure and the machine is headless A server A client Download the client software and install: Windows: RealVNC, UltraVNC, TightVNC MAC: Chicken, Chicken of the VNC (do not use internal vnc client as there are some issues) For Linux, you have the vncviewer package, available in most, if not all distros.
For Fedora 12, do the following as root user: yum -y install tigervnc There are various ways to get the server going in your HDA. VNC: one-click install Manually as described below (notes may require some revision) Manual Install As root, install the server: yum -y install tigervnc-server Method 1 When the install has completed, press ctrl-D to end the root session. Method 2 Notes: Enable Outgoing Emails. Outgoing mail via gmail. This can be used to send mails from your Fedora 19/Amahi 7 HDA and to receive system emails.
To receive emails meant for the root user, you have to Forward System Emails after finishing this tutorial. You also might want to take a look at Masquerade email address as well. REF: Postfix SMTP relay to SMTP gmail.com First of all, install postfix and remove sendmail: yum -y install postfix mailx yum -y remove sendmail Add the following to the bottom of the file /etc/postfix/main.cf. You do not need to change anything else in it, as the last setting for any option is the one that is saved. Create /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd file with your Gmail login credentials that looks like below: [smtp.gmail.com]:587 user@gmail.com:Password NOTE: Change user to your username and password to your gmail crredentials. Build the password database: postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd Create /etc/postfix/tls_policy file with your Gmail login credentials that looks like below: [smtp.gmail.com]:587 encrypt Restart Postfix:
Chapter 5. Virtual storage. Chapter 5. Virtual storage As the virtual machine will most probably expect to see a hard disk built into its virtual computer, VirtualBox must be able to present "real" storage to the guest as a virtual hard disk. There are presently three methods in which to achieve this: Most commonly, VirtualBox will use large image files on a real hard disk and present them to a guest as a virtual hard disk. Each such virtual storage device (image file, iSCSI target or physical hard disk) will need to be connected to the virtual hard disk controller that VirtualBox presents to a virtual machine. 5.1. In a real PC, hard disks and CD/DVD drives are connected to a device called hard disk controller which drives hard disk operation and data transfers. IDE (ATA) controllers are a backwards compatible yet very advanced extension of the disk controller in the IBM PC/AT (1984). In summary, VirtualBox gives you the following categories of virtual storage slots: 5.2. 5.3.
Note 5.4. Adding a second hard drive to your HDA. Adding drives to your HDA is another "how to" on doing this, a bit shorter and less elaborate, which can be good for some people, specially a novice unfamiliar with doing any of this. More hard drives can be added in your Amahi HDA for additional storage space. We'll detail how to add such hard drives, and how to put them to good use.
This is a how-to on adding additional drives to your HDA. Amahi cannot be held responsible for any data breakage or destruction arising from the use or misuse of this script. Open a Terminal or remotely connect (ssh, ...) to the OS, and type the following command: ls -1 /dev/disk/by-id/ | egrep -v "part|scsi" Look for the line that matches the hard drive you added. IDE and SATA hard drives will start with ata- and USB hard drives will start with usb-.
Example: In a Terminal, as root, type the following (two) commands: Fedora yum -y install pmount fuse fuse-libs ntfs-3g gparted util-linux-ng Ubuntu sudo apt-get -y install gparted Using GParted Using cfdisk 1.
