Open the parent directory with administrator permission and try again



sudo apt-get install gksu



gksu nautilus /your_complete_path/


then share the folder...

  • Wow. Just wow. All my 3+ years of searching for an out-of-the-box Samba share solution! The problem? I had to run as root. Shame on you Linux Mint, shame.

The simplest solution would to be to add the stated lines,




usershare owner only = false




to the Global section of the smb.conf file by,



sudo -H gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf


then save the file and restart the samba service,



sudo restart smbd


Then try again to share the selected folder

            Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

            Quarter-circle Tiles

            up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form?
