Using Samba in Xubuntu

Execute:

shares-admin

Unfortunately neither shares-admin (crashes) nor system-config-samba (deprecated) work in recent Xubuntu releases. Other than in Nautilus we do not have an option to share directories from Thunar.

This apparently means that as of today we do not have a working graphical method to setup Samba shares in Xubuntu.

So after installing samba and defining a Samba user with:

sudo apt install samba
sudo smbpasswd -a [user]  ## [user] must already exist for Xubuntu

We can use the command net usershare for adding directories. Because of better copy & paste ability I find it more convenient to create an entry in /etc/samba/smb.conf:

[share name]
    path = full path to shared directory
    comment = optional description
    writeable = yes
    browseable = yes
    read only = yes
    guest ok = yes

Further options for smb.conf can be read in the Samba documentation. The named share will be available after a restart of the samba server.

How to run DOS programs in Linux using QEMU and FreeDOS

https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/quickstart.html#

https://www.freedos.org/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHMUMeEzSS0

c:> qemu-system-x86_64.exe -boot d -cdrom FDCD.iso -m 1024

Step 1: Set up a virtual disk

You'll need a place to install FreeDOS inside QEMU, and for that you'll need a virtual C: drive. In DOS, drives are assigned with letters—A: and B: are the first and second floppy disk drives and C: is the first hard drive. Other media, including other hard drives or CD-ROM drives, are assigned D:, E:, and so on.

Under QEMU, virtual drives are image files. To initialize a file that you can use as a virtual C: drive, use the qemu-img command. To create an image file that's about 200MB, type this:

qemu-img create dos.img 200M

Compared to modern computing, 200MB may seem small, but in the early 1990s, 200MB was pretty big. That's more than enough to install and run DOS.

Step 2: QEMU options

Unlike PC emulator systems like VMware or VirtualBox, you need to "build" your virtual system by instructing QEMU to add each component of the virtual machine. Although this may seem laborious, it's really not that hard. Here are the parameters I use to boot FreeDOS inside QEMU:

qemu-system-i386	QEMU can emulate several different systems, but to boot DOS, we'll need to have an Intel-compatible CPU. For that, start QEMU with the i386 command.
-m 16	I like to define a virtual machine with 16MB of memory. That may seem small, but DOS doesn't require much memory to do its work. When DOS was king, computers with 16MB or even 8MB were quite common.
-k en-us	Technically, the -k option isn't necessary, because QEMU will set the virtual keyboard to match your actual keyboard (in my case, that's English in the standard U.S. layout). But I like to specify it anyway.
-rtc base=localtime	Every classic PC provides a real time clock (RTC) so the system can keep track of time. I find it's easiest to simply set the virtual RTC to match your local time.
-soundhw sb16,adlib,pcspk	If you need sound, especially for games, I prefer to define QEMU with SoundBlaster16 sound hardware and AdLib Music support. SoundBlaster16 and AdLib were the most common sound hardware in the DOS era. Some older programs may use the PC speaker for sound; QEMU can also emulate this.
-device cirrus-vga	To use graphics, I like to emulate a simple VGA video card. The Cirrus VGA card was a common graphics card at the time, and QEMU can emulate it.
-display gtk	For the virtual display, I set QEMU to use the GTK toolkit, which puts the virtual system in its own window and provides a simple menu to control the virtual machine.
-boot order=	You can tell QEMU to boot the virtual machine from a variety of sources. To boot from the floppy drive (typically A: on DOS machines) specify order=a. To boot from the first hard drive (usually called C:) use order=c. Or to boot from a CD-ROM drive (often assigned D: by DOS) use order=d. You can combine letters to specify a specific boot preference, such as order=dc to first use the CD-ROM drive, then the hard drive if the CD-ROM drive does not contain bootable media.

Step 3: Boot and install FreeDOS

Now that QEMU is set up to run a virtual system, we need a version of DOS to install and boot inside that virtual computer. FreeDOS makes this easy. The latest version is FreeDOS 1.2, released in December 2016.

Download the FreeDOS 1.2 distribution from the FreeDOS website. The FreeDOS 1.2 CD-ROM "standard" installer (FD12CD.iso) will work great for QEMU, so I recommend that version.

Installing FreeDOS is simple. First, tell QEMU to use the CD-ROM image and to boot from that. Remember that the C: drive is the first hard drive, so the CD-ROM will show up as the D: drive.

qemu-system-i386 -m 16 -k en-us -rtc base=localtime -soundhw sb16,adlib -device cirrus-vga -display gtk -hda dos.img -cdrom FD12CD.iso -boot order=d

Just follow the prompts, and you'll have FreeDOS installed within minutes.

install1a.png

install2_0.png

install3.png

install4.png

After you've finished, exit QEMU by closing the window.

Step 4: Install and run your DOS application

Once you have installed FreeDOS, you can run different DOS applications inside QEMU. You can find old DOS programs online through various archives or other websites.

QEMU provides an easy way to access local files on Linux. Let's say you want to share the dosfiles/ folder with QEMU. Simply tell QEMU to use the folder as a virtual FAT drive by using the -drive option. QEMU will access this folder as though it were a hard drive.

-drive file=fat:rw:dosfiles/

Now, start QEMU with your regular options, plus the extra virtual FAT drive:

qemu-system-i386 -m 16 -k en-us -rtc base=localtime -soundhw sb16,adlib -device cirrus-vga -display gtk -hda dos.img -drive file=fat:rw:dosfiles/ -boot order=c

Once you're booted in FreeDOS, any files you save to the D: drive will be saved to the dosfiles/ folder on Linux. This makes reading the files directly from Linux easy; however, be careful not to change the dosfiles/ folder from Linux after starting QEMU. QEMU builds a virtual FAT table once, when you start QEMU. If you add or delete files in dosfiles/ after you start QEMU, the emulator may become confused.

I use QEMU like this to run my favorite DOS programs, like the As-Easy-As spreadsheet program. This was a popular spreadsheet application from the 1980s and 1990s, which does the same job that Microsoft Excel and LibreOffice Calc fulfill today, or that the more expensive Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet did back in the day. As-Easy-As and Lotus 1-2-3 both saved data as WKS files, which newer versions of Microsoft Excel cannot read, but which LibreOffice Calc may still support, depending on compatibility.

I also like to boot FreeDOS under QEMU to play some of my favorite DOS games, like the original Doom. These old games are still fun to play, and they all run great under QEMU.

QEMU and FreeDOS make it easy to run old DOS programs under Linux. Once you've set up QEMU as the virtual machine emulator and installed FreeDOS, you should be all set to run your favorite classic DOS programs from Linux.

A VERY GOOD PETG SETTINGS PAGE BY JULES

https://www.xyzfabs.com/forums/topic/63/print-settings-for-petg-esun-solid-black-filament

"Request timed out" while pinging : ROUTE PRINT

You can't have multiple default gateways in your routing table because your PC will not always know the same path for your default route to the internet (0.0.0.0 /0).  

The VM decides to use ZeroTier gateway as the default route, but ZT doesn't have a path to the internet.  In order to verify this, do the following:

Go to cmd.exe

type: route print

You will see this.  You are interested in 0.0.0.0 /0.  

Here you see two entries to GATEWAY.  Your PC will not always choose the correct path.  If it chose ZeroTier gateway, you can't ping yahoo.com.  You want it to choose 192.168.1.1 GATEWAY.

In order to fix this, Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change Adapter Settings

Right Click the ZeroTier Adapter and click Properties

Click Internet Protocol version 4 and click Properties

Delete the default gateway.  Who told you to type this in the first place? 

Type route print at CMD box.   You should see just entry now.  You are set. 

To delete a route in command line:

1. Run as administrator or sudo -i
2. route delete 0.0.0.0 and press Enter to delete the routing table entry for the default gateway.
3. Type route print and press Enter.
4. Type ping 8.8.8.8 to test Internet connectivity. The ping should fail.

To add a route:

1. Type route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1  metric 1 Then press Enter.
2. Type ping 8.8.8.8 to test Internet connectivity. The ping should be successful. 
3. use ipconfig /renew to update your DHCP-assigned IP address and default gateway.

route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 metric 1 

What it should look like.  Just one row of 0.0.0.0 / 192.168.1.1

Bart's Modular Boot Disk; PXE server

Here is a list of all available modboot modules.
Please note: this list does not contain any network or aspi drivers...

help - Help module
Version:	1.0
Last updated:	Mar 26, 2002
Group:	option
Downloadable file:	help.cab (1KB)
Default location:	\level1

This module enables very simple help information to the user. It will provide a list with the available commands.

Sample help output
aspi Load ASPI drivers cdrom Load CD-Rom drivers help Show this help information menu Modboot small menu system msnet Load Microsoft Network Client drivers scsitool Generic scsi diagnostics utility edit Small text editor (terse) vc Volkov Commander v4

Modules that want to have help support must have a "help" directory containing a small text file called %modulename%.hlp.

Example:

Here are the files for the msnet module:

autorun.bat
bin\msnet.bat
help\msnet.hlp
menu\msnet.mnu

Sample MSNET.HLP
msnet Load Microsoft Network Client drivers

Note! The description "Load Micro..." must start at column 10!
Note 2! Do not use a tab, use spaces!

mouse - Mouse support
Version:	1.1
Last updated:	Mar 26, 2002
Group:	option
Downloadable file:	mouse.cab (5KB)
Default location:	\level1

cdautrun - CD-Rom autorun module
Version:	1.1
Last updated:	Mar 26, 2002
Downloadable file:	cdautrun.cab (2KB)
Default location:	\lib
Notes:	Set's %cddrv% environment variable to point to the first CD-Rom. Also runs \autorun.bat when it is on any CD-Rom.

This module searches all CD-Rom drives (using findcd) for a file called "autorun.bat" and the first one found will be executed. If no autorun.bat file is found on any CD, then it will located the first CD-Rom drive letter that holds a readable media and the current working directory will be set to the root of this drive. If there is no CD-Rom drive found that has a media than it will just print the first CD-Rom drive letter.
Also an environment variable %cddrv% is created.

dos - Dos module (fdisk, format, xcopy...)
Version:	1.0
Last updated:	Mar 26, 2002
Group:	option
Default location:	\level1
Notes:	There is no file for download, you have to build this one yourself, just look here:

This module should contain several dos files like: fdisk, format, smartdrv, xcopy ...and so on...

Here are the steps:

1. Download makev3.zip (59KB) and unpack it in some directory, in this example I will be using c:\modboot\makev3\
2. Copy the Dos files you need into the directory "c:\modboot\makev3\source\dos\bin". Warning! You must use the same dos version as your boot files! Files to think off are: fdisk, format, doskey, xcopy
3. Open a command prompt, goto the c:\modboot\makev3\ directory and run "make dos". If all goes OK, you can find your module as c:\modboot\makev3\cabs\dos.cab
4. Just copy this file into the correct modboot level folder, for example "\level1"

menu - Menu module

Downloadable file:	menu.cab (1KB)

This module enables a small menu system to the user. It will provide a list with the available options.

Example:

Here are the files for the msnet module:

autorun.bat
bin\msnet.bat
help\msnet.hlp
menu\msnet.mnu

Sample MSNET.MNU
Load CD-Rom drivers~%ramdrv%\bin\cdrom.bat

The first part "Load CD-Rom drivers" is the menu title and the second part (separated by a tilde "~") is the command to execute.
