Und wieder ein Rechner gerettet, den meiner Mutter. AMD #Athlon 64 X2 (2007) mit MS Vista (!) läuft nun stabil und recht flott mit #LXLE 32bit- Edition für mindestens noch 3 bis 4 Jahre als Surf- und Büromaschine. LXLE basiert auf #Lubuntu und das wiederum auf #Ubuntu (und das wiederum auf #Debian), stellt aber eine 32bit- Edition bereit.
Lässt sich auch optisch an die Bedürfnisse einer Ex- Vista- Userin anpassen 😜👍 -
Finally got #samba working again, again, on my #LXLE #Focal64 #linux box.
So annoying that it seems to regularly break after samba is updated.
This time I just could not get it to work again no matter how much I tinkered with smb.conf. In the end I just purged samba and reinstalled it.
After I added my smb user, added a share and restarted smbd, it all just worked . Now able to browse and read/write linux->windows and vice -versa! Hurrah!
And that smb.conf file has also been backed up...

What a pain! Spent ages trying to get #samba working on #lxle focal 64. Able to prove that samba was installed but the #smbd service was refusing to start. Also, trying to connect as a client to other servers failed. Eventually decided to blow away the smb.conf file, replacing it with the default. After that I was able to start the smbd service. Then able to connect to shares and advertise them too. No idea why the "as installed" smb.conf file was such a mess, and needed to be exterminated 😠

When I last used this PC it was a speed demon... Now I think it might qualify as #retro to some. It is getting a rebuild/upgrade, #lxle OS, an SSD (a donation), and a #Core2Quad 9650 CPU (eBay). Nearly ready for power up, once I find a PS2 keyboard and mouse.
#retrocomputing ???

Laptop #2 is this HP Mini 210 #netbook I got from a friend who was getting rid of it. With a 1.6 GHz single core Atom and 512 MB of RAM, it struggled to run Windows 7. I boosted the RAM to 2 GB, put in an SSD, and installed #lxle #linux - an extremely lightweight distro based on Ubuntu with the LXDE desktop. It... is still struggling. The only thing it's really good for is typing, and the keyboard is way too small and uncomfortable even for that. Maybe I'll use it as a file server or something.
