I have a desktop (my 'main' machine) running feisty, and a laptop (to experiment with) that used to run feisty as well. Both are hard-wired through a hub.
ssh has always worked, but I could never get file sharing to work. Elsewhere in these fora I was pointed to
<http://littlergirl.googlepages.com/NFSForIdiots.html>
which worked just fine and I was a happy camper :-)
A couple of days ago I decided to jump laptop into gutsy and followed
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gu...40bf791c42f52>
to do so. I had some issues, but in the end all seemed to have worked- even my shared printer.
Until I tried the file sharing, which is now kacked. I went back through the NFSForIdiots instructions, line by line, and everything is as it should be (and as it was when it was working feisty-to-feisty).
From the laptop, when I try <sudo mount /home/desktop/shared> the error says:
mount.nfs: 192.168.1.57 (desktop ip): home/desktop failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
On the feisty desktop in Konqueror, Properties for the disk-drive-attached-to-a-pipe icon Shared folder says it's an unmounted NFS share. When I click on the Mount choice, it says permission denied, and then the Mount choice disappears from the menu
From the desktop, when I try < sudo mount /home/laptop/shared> the error says:
mount to NFS server '192.168.1.23(laptop ip)' failed: server is down.
I have run all the restart commands in NFSForIdiots several times, with no change to this.
On the gutsy laptop in Dolphin Properties for the blue-folder-with-a-red-plug Shared folder says it's a shared folder.
Both have 'share this folder in the local network' checked, and 'share with nfs'
Both have all permission boxes checked
any ideas on what to try next?
