Hello all,
I am using a Kubuntu computer (dual-boot) on a Windows LAN. I am able to
the following:
-Use Samba to access Windows shares using my domain name and password
(I'm a Domain Admin).
-Open Microsoft documents in Open Office (If I open Open Office first
and then navigate my way to the share using the "Open" dialog box.
-Have the machine show up in the Windows "Microsoft Windows Network"
location in My Network Places. It shows up in its own workgroup, even
though I listed the name of the domain in the "domain" line in the
network preferences setup (KDE System Settings).
This is what I would like to able to do;
1- When I click on the Microsoft document directly from the Konqueror
window, Open Office displays it start up screen, but never opens. When I
open the document from inside Open Office, it opens it, but says "Samba
not fully supported. Only a local copy of the file will be created." And
then it gives it some jibberish name - like kdefilepickerPX0BQa.doc"
How do I get it to directly open the Microsoft document from the
Konqueror window? How do I fix the Samba error?
2 - I would like to be able to RDP/VNC into the Linux box from Windows.
I have a VNC viewer and a putty client. Both of these, as well as
Windows "Remote Desktop Connection", all give me the "Connection
refused" error. How do I fix this?
3 - I would like to share some folders on the Linux box to be accessible
from Windows. I can see the Linux computer in the computer list, but
when I click on it, it comes up with a login box. When I type my Linux
user name and password (which is the same as my Windows variants), it
does not accept the authentication. This never happened when I was
running Ubuntu 5.04. The file system was just shared - I didn't set
anything up or install any packages.
Any help appreciated!
