Hello,
Today I made fresh Kubuntu 9.04 install, and things look somewhat different than they used to be. I am wondering how to set up a samba share that would allow to share files between Kubuntu and Windows that sits in the VirtualBox VM.
I'd sort of expect that I can open System Settings, go to Sharing, and there I could edit list of shares that would persist between system reboots. Unfortunately I see there only two textboxes that ask for default username/pwd, that seem to be defaults when connecting to _other_ win shares. No sign of nice list of paths and shares, as visible in tutorial images here: http://kubuntu101.blogspot.com/2005/...ing-samba.html
Yes, I realise the tutorial is for older version of Kubuntu, but perhaps things have not changed so severely that the list of shares and paths is now gone. No button "Administrator mode" visible either, so can not enjoy the possible beauty of administrator interface. I tried to find out if there is a way how to run the System Settings as admin, found that one can do "kdesudo systemsettings", but that really did not result in any new features in the Sharing applet interface. Does the KDE interface really not have any friendly way how to run things as admin, without need to open up console and type the command (that needs to be looked up somewhere).
Perhaps I am missing some basic knowledge here, please enlighten a Kubuntu newbie.
