Install Samba Server on Ubuntu

If you want to share files between your Ubuntu and Windows computers, your best option is to use Samba file sharing.
To install, first open a terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get install samba smbfs
We've got samba installed, but now we'll need to configure it to make it accessible. Run the following command to open the configuration file, substituting your editor of choice:
sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
Find this section in the file:
####### Authentication #######
# "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account
# in this server for every user accessing the server. See
# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ServerType.html
# in the samba-doc package for details.
; security = user
Uncomment the security line, and add another line to make it look like this:
security = user
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
This will set Samba to use the smbusers file for looking up the user list.
Create a Samba User
There are two steps to creating a user. First we'll run the smbpasswd utility to create a samba password for the user.
sudo smbpasswd -a
Next, we'll add that username to the smbusers file.
sudo gedit /etc/samba/smbusers
Add in the following line, substituting the username with the one you want to give access to. The format is = "". You can use a different samba user name to map to an ubuntu account, but that's not really necessary right now.
= ""
Now you can create samba shares and give access to the users that you listed here.

How To Install Driver N-Vidia In ubuntu hardy 8.04

Last i have eror with install driver N-Vidia in my hardy. the problem is i can install N-Vidia but cannot load the N-Vidia driver. this eror is in x-org config in my ubuntu.

I have googling and have fix with this my tutorial in below.

1) Download the driver for your Nvidia Card from http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
1.a) Make sure its in your home directory, this will make it so we don't have to change directories later when were in terminal.

2) Open a terminal: Applications--> Accessories--> Terminal

3) sudo apt-get install build-essential

4) gksudo gedit /etc/modules
4.a) Add "nvidia" without quotes to the list.
4.b) Save and Exit

5) gksudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
5.a) Add "nv" without quotes to the restricted list. It should look exactly like this: DISABLED_MODULES="nv"
5.b) Save and Exit

6) sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ./xorg.conf.backup

7) sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
7.a) Were just deleting your old xorg.conf file, we backed it up in step 6 just in case we ever need it back again.
7.b) Getting rid of old drivers, use one or more of the sections that apply to you:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you used Envy to attempt a previous nvidia install please run this command now before you go on:

sudo envy --uninstall-all
sudo dpkg -P envy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have some old Ubuntu repository/restricted driver manager attempts installed please run this command before you go on:

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
sudo rm /lib/restricted-modules/.nvidia*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a failed NVIDIA*.run (drivers from the nvidia.com site) run this command before you go on:

sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
####################################################################################
##................................................................................##

## Alright Now Assuming That You are starting with a clean slate lets move forward##
##................................................................................##
####################################################################################

8) CTRL-ALT-F1
8.a) Okay were in Command Line only now, we have a little left to do in here.
8.b)login:
8.c)Password:

9) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
9.a) This step shuts down the x-server and gnome desktop manager

10) sudo chmod a+x ./NVIDIA*.run
10.a) We made the nvidia installer executable.

11) sudo ./NVIDIA*.run
11.a) Answer to the affirmative for all questions.
11.b) Be sure to specifically say you DO WANT it to write a new xorg.conf
11.c) If you somehow answered incorrectly on the last question in the installer then:
c.I) sudo nvidia-xconfig #this will write a new or attempt repair of
an xorg.conf file for you.

12) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
12.a) You should see an Nvidia Logo, and then be put at your login screen,
you should also be able to enable desktop effects.

Optional But recommended:
13) To get the driver to update itself when a new kernel is installed from the update
manager be sure to follow the guide in this link:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5227704&postcount=1

now, i can load use compiz and activated water effect. very nice.. .

Recovering from a failed .deb installation

On Ubuntu or Debian, if you don't have the necessary packages listed in the "Installing on Ubuntu 6.10" notes then OSS will likely fail to install and
you will need to do the following to recover:

1) cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
2) rm oss-linux*
3) edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and look for oss-linux
and delete the entire section that looks like:

Package: oss-linux
Status: install ok installed
Priority: extra
Section: alien
Installed-Size: 8440
Maintainer: root
Architecture: amd64
Version: v4.0rc9-999
Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.12.1), libc6 (>= 2.4-1), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.3.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.10.3), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.14.5), libx11-6, libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2), libxext6, libxfixes3, libxi6, libxinerama1, libxrandr2, libxrender1
Conffiles:
/etc/oss.conf 055432d38aaf37fc6de3dba4a95accc3
Description: Open Sound System sound drivers for Linux
Open Sound System for Linux (OSS/Linux) is a commercial quality sound driver
distributed by 4Front Technologies (http://www.opensound.com). OSS provides
support for practically all sound cards on the market including PnP and
many PCI ones. Installation and configuration is higly automated and easy to
perform. To obtain technical support and additional features, you will need to
order a license key from http://www.opensound.com/order.html

(Converted from a rpm package by alien version 8.64.)

5) Now you should be able to run dpkg --purge oss-linux and it should
say: dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove oss-linux which isn't installed.

6) Finally run dpkg -i oss-linux_v4.0rc9-999_amd64.deb and now it should succeed.
