| 1425667 | 2016-09-24 21:40:00 | If I plug in any android device to charge on my Mint 18 system, it will show the device on the desktop. You can open, view or add files if you wish. No additional software required. |

| 1425668 | 2016-09-24 21:50:00 | I can connect my iPhone 4 to my PC via USB and in Kubuntu it pops up as a removable drive I can then mount. Best thing for you to do would be to search the Mint forum for your make/model of cellphone (or similar) and see what others have done. You are going to get more relevant help from more Linux knowledgeable people on Mint and other Linux forums than you're going to get here. My knowledge of Mint is limited, Kubuntu I'm more comfortable with. | Rod J (451) | ||
| 1425669 | 2016-09-24 21:53:00 | Oh, to add to the above: I can only copy photos from my iPhone to the PC ... unlike my old Android phone I can't easily copy anything from my PC to the iPhone ... Apple! :annoyed: | Rod J (451) | ||
| 1425670 | 2016-09-24 22:01:00 | For direct file access, (photos, music, downloads, etc) my phone (Samsung S5) shows up in the file manager when I plug it in (and unlock and "allow" on the phone). 7484 My calendar/contacts (and specified files also) sync automatically with my Owncloud and Thunderbird accesses that - same can be done with Google Tbird addon as you're likely already syncing with them. Any SMS I want to keep I forward to email. See also community.linuxmint.com Airdroid is another option, but via "someone elses server" if that concerns you. |

| 1425671 | 2016-09-24 22:03:00 | Still? I read the posts and you got multiple answers, I thought that was done, but you seemed to be still trying to find the most complicated way to do it, installing a separate gui tool to change one line in a text file. .Flippin hell your an idiot, you twist things around and you are making yourself out to be just a ******. I did ask how to change the name of a workgroup, and mentioned all the forums looked at say in a thermal you type sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf Yet when you do that it errors saying no such editor (or similar wording) then others say you don't use gedit. Rod gave option to install a GUI, which I did try. Have now wiped the Mint drive and installed the NAS software. YES I KNOW the NAS software is Linux based, but due to your limited understanding maybe you cant figure it out I've used it before, and is completely different to a desktop OS. if you're going to post quotes to back up your claims, you should post a link for context and attribution - for all we know, you could be just making it up. Exactly which part of my comment it was last year and cant remember the site is unclear ? OK smart arse -- you wanted proof -- heres another forum someone asks the same question, the answer given does not give exact instructions to someone who doesn't know on how to open the text editor, or what text editor or the command to use, only what to change . www.linuxquestions.org People who don't use Linux wont know what commands are required. As I said before the majority of sites say use sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf Which doesn't work in mint. |

| 1425673 | 2016-09-24 22:50:00 | Ahhh, you need a Maxwell Smart Phone complete with Cone of Silence. Hmmmm, just the ticket, if I can source one, it won't fit in a standard jean pocket though. Maybe if I get the shrink-ray from fantastic voyage I can make it fit. Always wanted a shoe phone since the first time I saw Max using his. Now I won't have one as a gift. |

YES I KNOW the NAS software is Linux based, but due to your limited understanding maybe you cant figure it out I've used it before, and is completely different to a desktop OS.Wasn't having so many different versions part of the problem? See, linux with a nice gui to change all the relevant setting to it's intended function (presumably including workgroup name). Exactly which part of my comment it was last year and cant remember the site is unclear ?This: One I just found when searching for the correct commands to change the workgroup. OK smart arse -- you wanted proof -- heres another forum someone asks the same question, the answer given does not give exact instructions to someone who doesn't know on how to open the text editor, or what text editor or the command to use, only what to change . www.linuxquestions.org People who don't use Linux wont know what commands are required.People who don't use linux wouldn't be asking the question. Your linked post seems perfectly reasonable to me - a clear answer to the question asked. It's a general linux site and the OP didn't specify the system they were using. I note it also doesn't mention breathing in and out while performing the change - hopefully the OP didn't die as a consequence. :) As I said before the majority of sites say use sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf Which doesn't work in mint. On distro specific sites, like Ubuntuforums, answers are typically going to be tailored to that systems default tools, (so sudo and gedit etc.) |

| 1425675 | 2016-09-25 06:22:00 | Although, it is probably wiser to know what programs you do have on your system, here's a way that can help you in many situations. So instead of: sudo not_sure_i_have_this_editor /etc/samba/smb.conf (gedit, kate, xed, etc) You should be able to do: sudo xdg-open /etc/samba/smb.conf Now you are using the OS to determine what your preferred program is to open it with. If you use it on movie files, expect a movie player to open, etc. Whether it's foolproof, no idea, just thought of thinking of a way to be more universal when offering advice without being tied specifically to any editor (an open way of doing things). |
