We sent you some materials for review, but have not as yet seen nor read a review on your webpages. How do we go about finding out the status of the review?
EarlyMusicNews.Org cannot guarantee a deadline date of publication for any of the review materials it receives. However, feel free to contact us to verify the status of the review. We will try to accommodate as much as possible the review of any materials that are sent to EarlyMusicNews.Org.
How do I add a concert date item?
There are two ways of entering a concert item (method 1. is preferable):
- Join the membership to the site, enter the concert data yourself and be as descriptive as possible. A web link to the original source must accompany your submission. Your item will later be verified, validated and edited and may be altered to follow the site's publication format.
(This method is the prefered way of submitting your news articles as EarlyMusicNews.org wishes to promote an active community involvement in the dissemination of early music news.)
- Contact the admin to this site and suggest the concert item in question. You may address your suggestion to email@example.com or click on the address found in FAQ/Contact section
All concert submissions must lead to a website. No articles will be accepted where there is no web presence for the article.
What do you mean by "Website Best Practices"?
This section is about ways to facilitate the sharing of information from your website so that your information can appear on our pages with the utmost of ease possible (or, for that matter, any other media site such as ours).
The ideal is to have information easily shared/quoted and copy/pasted to media sites (such as ours) in order to market your site. The transfer of information should be made as easily for both you and the recipient media site and avoid any steps or webpage setups where extra work is necessary from which to get the information. (Note: The real test to this is for you to try to create an article from your webpages to another blank page (for example, a word processor page) to see how many steps are needed to collect information from your pages; then test-try other early music sites to compare.)
Best Practices
- for sections of your site where you would like media organizations such as EarlyMusicNews.org to publish details on its pages, try to have them in a web format where "copy/paste" is possible. Although your website pages may look great with interactive content, such pages will often make copy/paste of text impossible, and, delay any posting of events/materials of your site for marketing purposes on site such as EarlyMusicNews.org. Simply said, sites where the information is easy to "copy/paste" are usually first in line for posting -- if you make it difficult to copy text, then, delays in publishing important details of your events will be slower to make it to media sites such as ours.
- should you like to share information found on your website, adopt a copyright license that favours the sharing of information in a way that still promotes your site. One such license is the "Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) (or later)" -- this license is used by such large groups as the LibreOffice.org – Documents Section, Flickr, the US Whitehouse.gov website, section (some of other sites may be found here). In this case, "attribution" could (for sites such as EarlyMusicNews.org) would be as simple as quoting material on your pages and giving credit back to you in the form of a weblink redirecting the reader back to your site OR by crediting you by name. A redirecting weblink is more favourable as this will expose your site to more visitors and perhaps gain you more concert-audience individuals or increase traffic and "web recognition" of your site.
- if you would like to manage the information on your site in a stricter fashion, have a "Media" section where materials of your group is either copy/paste-able or ready for download with accompanying copyright permissions.
- have an "About" ("About us") section that has a description of your group/organization.
- events should have a clearly indicated date format. The dates should always include not only the day and month but ALSO the year.
- finally, many groups make good use of keeping in touch with their regular ticket holders and media partners (such as EarlyMusicNews.org) by publishing a regular newsletter. The frequency of mailouts varies from group to group: some of the more active groups will mailout as often as twice monthly, but most will mailout a newsletter a few weeks prior to an upcoming event. Newsletters are extremely good communication tools available to music groups. These newsletters could be as simple as a regular email sent to your ticket-holder base and media organizations or as formal as newsletters managed by professional media groups. If you are not publishing a newsletter, you may want to consider looking at this as a possible marketing option.
- Keeping communication lines open: if there is ever any of your group/organization's information posted that you would like removed/corrected, please do approach our site admin or webmaster and request its removal. You will find that in ALL cases, your request will be observed and the material in question will be removed within a reasonable delay of time (usually as soon as the request is received by the admin/webmaster). The email addresses are: firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
On a personal note, I have found that the majority of individuals/groups/organizations have been more than willing to have their website/webpage content quoted (when used in context) and posted on our pages with redirection to their site. This has added some additional traffic to their site and added more web presence to their effort. The majority view this "sharing of information" good marketing strategy on "getting the word out" of their early music contributions. -- Marc Paré (Editor/Admin)

Have you noticed any trends that would help in promoting our group's website? What are other people using to promote their site?
Trends that have been noticed are (1 feb 2012) (* our recommendations are noted in each section):
- Website -- groups/associations
- the vast majority of sites have a website, however, a small, but growing number of groups/associations are using Facebook as their only "web presence vehicle". The vast amount of websites are mostly static (very few changes to the sites) other than updating of upcoming concert dates or their discography. Most will now have a button leading to secondary interactive vehicles such as Facebook, YouTube, MySpace etc.
- * A website is highly recommended even if you have a Facebook account. Caveat: Facebook reaches 800 million users, HOWEVER, the vast majority of people are NOT on Facebook. Groups using Facebook as their main website will NOT reach those without a Facebook account. At the very least, groups/associations should have a website with corresponding domain name.
- Domain Name
- the vast majority of websites have a domain name corresponding to their own group/association name. For example: "EarlyMusicNew.org" (our official name) is found by surfing by browsing to the "http://www.EarlyMusicNews.org" site; our parent company name is "parEntreprise" and may be found on the web at "http://www.parEntreprise.com". However, a small segment of performance group have not as yet acquired a corresponding domain name, but these are in the minority.
- * A corresponding domain name is highly recommended. It is also suggested that groups/organizations acquire the country code name instead of the .com/.org/.net unless you are anticipating bases in other countries. For example "NotaBeneBaroque", based in Waterloo Ontario Canada, has acquired its corresponding Canadian country domain name and may be found at "http://www.NotaBeneBaroque.ca". Using a corresponding country code domain name give the group additional branding and the general public will associate the site with the originating country base for the group. Should you wish to protect your group/association brand name, you may consider then acquiring the international .com/.net/org version of your domain name.
- Website sound files
- some websites make use of a music player offering excerpts of recorded music -- the music player offers visitors to "stop/pause/play the music. A growing segment is leaving full sound clips of complete movements. It seems the average number of sound files numbers around 5 clips, although, there seems to be growth in sites offering a larger variety of sound files making a visit to their site a better "auditory" experience. Some sites are offering website visitors mp3 sound clips without a player.
- * Highly recommended especially for a group engaged in performance, the mp3 format is still the most preferred format, "vogg orbis" format is available to those who are worried about mp3 licensing issues.
- Facebook site (or alternatives to Facebook)
- the vast majority of groups have a Facebook site. The groups make serious use of Facebook's ease at "feeding" visitor's attention/curiosity with updates. It seems that most groups/organizations will have specific individuals associated with the group/organization maintaining the sites on a regular weekly basis as well as monitoring the comments
- *Highly recommended. Caveat: Facebook reaches 800 million users, HOWEVER, the vast majority of people are NOT on Facebook. Groups using Facebook as their main website will NOT reach those without a Facebook account.
- Photo album site
- the vast majority are posting photos on their site, a growing segment are using their Facebook sites as a photo repository, some are using photo upload sites for ease of use such a Google Picasa Web or FlickR etc.
- * Highly recommended, especially if posted on a website. Visitors seem to appreciate photos greatly! Photos will also add face recognition to the group. Caveat: a Facebook album/photos reaches 800 million users, HOWEVER, the vast majority of people are NOT on Facebook. Groups using Facebook as their main photo repository will NOT reach those without a Facebook account.
- YouTube site (or alternatives to YouTube)
- a fast growing segment of performance groups are using YouTube to promote their group by posting videos of some performances or "pre-performance" events such as rehearsals or individual performances.
- A very small segment are posting complete concerts on their site, however, this is highly unusual as such streams may ultimately slow the site down for other users or, may in fact use up the amount of allocated bandwidth to the site's contracted download/upload agreement. In such cases, hosting services may close the site down temporarily until the site owner agrees to the purchase of further bandwidth.
- * Recommended -- YouTube (or similar) account, especially if you are a performance group OR if you are not offering sound files on your website. NOT RECOMMENDED if the video is of poor quality as the visual message may affect the group negatively.
- a fast growing segment of performance groups are using YouTube to promote their group by posting videos of some performances or "pre-performance" events such as rehearsals or individual performances.
- Electronic Newsletter (E-News)
- larger groups are making effective use of their newsletter mailouts by targeting their ticket/audience user base. Unfortunately, the newsletter option is NOT used by the vast majority of performance groups. In order to use the newsletter option, a group must start collecting email addresses from audience members as well as advertise the newsletter on their website with an option of signing up to the newsletter is also necessary.
- * Highly recommended for ALL groups. Targeted mailouts such as newsletters are very efficient marketing and promotion tools.
- Twitter
- some active groups are using Twitter, whereas the vast majority of sites are NOT making use of the"Twitter" option. (* The Twitter option seems a little excessive for smaller groups where there is not enough interest from group members to "twitter" pertinent information to listeners)
- * NOT RECOMMENDED unless groups are prepared to devote the time spent updating OFTEN.
- Funding Strategies
- most performance groups/associations are making use of some form of funding strategies. Most of these groups have a "Donate" button strategically placed on their websites.
- * Highly recommended. Generally speaking, most of these groups have gained "non-profit" status, making use of tax exemption options.
- most performance groups/associations are making use of some form of funding strategies. Most of these groups have a "Donate" button strategically placed on their websites.
- Corporate Sponsoship
- Most larger associations and some performance groups have garnered some form of corporate sponsorship to help with certain projects.
- * Highly recommended if running a festival/workshop or for associations without corporate sponsorship. In most cases, corporate sponsorship will depend on the group achieving "non-profit" status.

Can our group link to your Weblinks pages rather than developing a weblinks page of our own (on our website)?
The answer, in all cases, is of a resounding "yes" and of our approval.
Consider this, to-date, there are over 2600 early music related websites listed on our weblinks pages; these sites are indexed into 48 different categories; the index is verified once or twice yearly by our own weblinks bot in order to identify any dead links; there are tools for site visitor feedback as to the information of the weblinks as well as to identify any dead links that may have not been found by our bot. While this verification process is not perfect, it does help in keeping the weblinks URL data as accurate as possible.
Why would you want to use our weblinks pages as you very own weblinks page on your site? It releases you of the tedious task of maintaining such a page while still allowing your input of its content. You may propose any missing early music weblink(s) as well as identify changes of pre-existing weblinks' content or URL.
So, if you wish, go ahead and feel free to link to our weblinks page. After all, the idea of organizing the EarlyMusicNews.org weblinks is to make the early music community known to our website visitors and help disseminate any other information that connects us to all that is of early music.Marc Paré

Providing Technology Training and Mentoring For Modern Technology Adoption
This four-day instructor-led course provides students with the knowledge and skills to capitalize on their skills and experience as an Oracle DBA to manage a Microsoft SQL Server system. This course provides training for Oracle DBA to compare and contrast Oracle database management to SQL Server database management.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
This course is intended for experienced Oracle database administrators (DBAs) who work in an enterprise-level environment and require the skills to begin supporting and maintaining a SQL Server database.
Before attending this course, students must have:
4 Days
This module provides an understanding of the two major components of a database system. The database constitutes the files that store data, and the instance is the collection of server resources that provide a powerful, high performance interface to the data. It also illustrates how the two interact to provide data requested by the clients. Viewing the database and the instance as two separate interactive components of the RDBMS helps us to divide-and-conquer the vast set of topics covered in this workshop.
After completing this module, you will be able to:
This module discusses the memory and process architectures that are key to a database's performance. The module goes into the details of the hierarchy of memory areas of an instance and its configuration. This module also describes how the various functions of the RDBMS are accomplished by the different processes running in the background. Finally, in this module, we look at the changes Oracle has made in its internal architecture on Microsoft Windows platform between 9i and 12c to exploit the advantages offered by the operating system mechanisms and how they compare to SQL Server's implementation.
Lab : Instance architecture
This module goes in-depth into structure, components and contents of the files that constitute the database. To be able to manage hundreds of gigabytes, terabytes, or even petabytes of data, it is important to learn the techniques by which storage is viewed (physical and logical) and allocated. Databases use various hierarchies of storage structures such as blocks, extents, segments and table spaces to control storage allocation. The definition of schema and the objects that comprise the schema are introduced here. SQL Server uses similar techniques as Oracle; however the differentiation from Oracle is in the functionality. Also covered in this module is how SQL Server 2014 supports placing data and log files on Microsoft Azure storage.
Lab : Database architecture
This module examines the schema objects in both databases and introduces the new SQL Server 2014 In-Memory OLTP tables and clustered columnstore index objects. While all schema objects are mentioned, of particular interest are tables, the type of data they can hold, and their storage layout. A proper understanding of data types and storage architecture of tables and indexes is useful in many aspects of database design and administration, such as fragmentation, capacity planning, etc. A mapping of the native data types from Oracle to SQL Server provides the student with a very good reference on what data types are compatible and what are not.
Lab : Data objects
After completing this module, you will be able to understand:
This module focuses on how data is accessed and manipulated by the clients. Important concepts such as transaction, session, and so on are discussed here. This module describes the various commands available through SQL for manipulating data, metadata, transactions, sessions, and instances. An overview of procedural extensions to the SQL language available in Oracle (PL/SQL) and SQL Server (Transact-SQL) is given in this module. Cursors, which are data structures used to convey results of user transactions, are discussed as well to provide insight into what SQL Server supports and how they are used compared to Oracle.
Lab : Data access
This module contains discussion on planning and installation of SQL Server. While basic duties such a creating, starting and shutting down a database are common to all databases, the options available for these functions are the key differences. True to the words "Knowledge is Power", familiarity with the data dictionary and the different ways a SQL Server DBA uses it compared to an Oracle DBA is an invaluable skill for any database administrator.
Lab : Basic administration
This module provides the administrative aspect of schema objects described in Module 4. The discussion covers planning, creation and maintenance of many key schema objects. Choices in terms of table and index types, column types, and storage greatly influence the database growth, scalability, performance and maintainability.
Lab : Managing schema objects
This module fulfills the twin tasks of protecting data against unauthorized access (database security) and also from the destructive interaction between authorized users working concurrently (concurrency control). Under security, the various features for securing and auditing the database are discussed. In addition, this module examines the various features available for providing security such as logins, roles, profiles, and privileges. This includes the new capabilities of SQL Server 2014 to support the separation of duties that can be used to provide the lowest level of privileges for server roles.
Lab : Data protection and security
This module examines the non-transactional mechanisms for moving data into and out of a database. Included in this module is a discussion of how to copy databases to a Microsoft Azure VM using the SQL Server 2014 Deploy database to Azure VM wizard. Another key feature covered is SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). SSIS provides users with the capabilities beyond complex ETL and high performance data movement from heterogeneous data sources. It also adds data mining capability to the process and more, all of which will be discussed in this module. Other approaches to bulk data movement will also be covered in this module and guidelines will be provided on which tools are appropriate for what scenarios.
Lab : Data transport
This module lists the types of errors encountered in a database and the various mechanisms that are available to safeguard against these errors. This module discusses various types of backups and recovery methods available. This module also covers Oracle's Recovery Manager (RMAN) and the equivalent functionality available in SQL Server Management Studio. In addition, this module covers the new capabilities with SQL Server 2014 for managed backups and manual backups to Microsoft Azure storage.
Lab : Backup and recovery
This module discusses the different approaches to instance and application tuning. It then discusses the administration of various types of resources such as system resources (such as memory, processes, storage, and so on) as well as low-level database resources (such as lock, latches, queues, and so on). This session features new capabilities of SQL Server 2014 that improve performance including In-Memory OLTP tables, delayed durability for transactions, online operations and buffer pool extension. Given the significant difference in how resources are managed and utilized in SQL Server compared to Oracle, it is important for the Oracle DBA to get a firm understanding of what is under the SQL Server hood in order to appreciate and best leverage the technology. Finally, it shows the mechanisms by which the database can be monitored for availability, errors, and performance. Statistics that can be captured for both proactive and reactive administration of the databases are reviewed here.
Lab : Part 1: Monitoring and performance tuning
Lab : Part 2: Monitoring and performance tuning
Lab : Part 3: Monitoring and performance tuning
This module provides a high-level overview of the scalability and high availability features available in each RDBMS. Oracle and SQL Server are both enterprise class RDBMS, therefore the topics of scalability and high availability are deemed important. However, due to the scope of the course the discussion here is at a conceptual level and does not go beyond the concepts. The features discussed include AlwaysOn, parallel query, replication, clustering, table partitioning, database mirroring, and database snapshots.
This module focuses on automating the process of migrating from Oracle to SQL Server. This module presents an overview of the SSMA and will cover schema conversion, data migration, business logic conversion, validation, integration, and performance analysis.

There is, on the internet, a strain of thought that glorifies the Nerd. It is the mindset, if I may generalize horribly, that loves John Hodgman, loves arguing about operating systems, spends most waking hours on Reddit, spends most of their income at ThinkGeek.com, and most importantly, loves announcing their nerdiness to the world. Nerdy is the new cool, to some people. Now, the one thing one might expect from this neo-nerddom that is not actually true is that they are really nerds. They like to think they're smart - and many are - but more important than being smart is pretending to be smart, acting like you love nerdy jokes and nerdy references. It's about the culture, not anything that culture originally stood for.
Of course, a central tenet of this blog is that swirling at the center of this faux-nerdery is the comic xkcd: it's perfect for people who want to say they read a nerdy comic but don't actually want to read jokes that require anything more than a passing knowledge of high school science and the more popular of the 4chan memes. Like many groups, the fake-nerds feel a compulsion to define themselves, in order to make themselves more confident that they are in a special group while Certain Others are not in it (this is why some xkcd apologists feel so strongly that if someone doesn't like xkcd, they must not actually be a nerd, ie, they are "not in the target audience").
The point of all this meandering is that if there is one way to pander to "nerds," it's to reassure them that yes, they are nerds, and tell them exactly where you think the boundaries lie. As comic, it isn't very funny. Let's do a quick experiment: Compare the comic above with the sentence: "The only people who care about the distinction between 'geeks' and 'nerds' are those who are both." I think it says exactly what the comic says, though it's presented entirely verbally and not visually. Is it funny? I don't think so. But you can find out for yourself: Ask a friend who has not read the comic if they think that sentence is funny. Does changing it to a graph make it any better? I'd say no. I'd love to hear reason why I'm wrong, though, but I basically think that this is a statement of a banal fact and nothing more.
It's also odd that the comic itself presents one definition of geeks/nerds, and the alt-text an entirely contradictory one (it says that nerds are a subset of geeks, ie, all nerds are geeks but not all geeks are nerds).
that is all.
Did anyone else think that Scott Kurtz came off as kind of an asshole in the most recent Penny Arcade TV? I don't read PVP so perhaps I am not in the best place to judge, but he mostly just seemed annoying and somewhat self-important, like pvp is one of the most important webcomics there is.
Guys: probably you heard this already, but Kate Beaton got a cartoon published in the New Yorker! You can see it here. Of course, the New Yorker is a different medium from webcomics, but still, to get published there is quite a big deal and could be a major point in her career, not to mention it could influence some other webcomic artists as well. What do you guys think of it?

Queen Bey's Reign Continues!
Beyoncé Knowles (No. 1) topped Forbes' 15th annual Celebrity 100 ranking of the world's most powerful celebrities for the first time since she debuted on the list in 2004. She raked in a reported $115 million in 2014 alone. WOW!
LeBron James (No. 2), the NBA's top player, who just opted out of his contract with the Miami Heat to explore other options, moved up to No. 2 from the 16th spot last year. Dr. Dre (No. 3), who moved up from the 63rd spot, earned $620 million in 2014, which is more money earned in the past 12 months than any other celebrity in the history of the Forbes Celebrity 100 list. Oprah Winfrey (No. 4) fell to fourth place from the top spot last year, primarily because the three people ranked above her on this year's list currently have more influence and power.
This year, once again, musicians ranked high on the list. Musicians can earn a lot of money when they go on tour and are successful in using social media to leverage their brand, which is an important part of our fame metric. Thirteen of the top 25 on the list were musicians, including Beyoncé Knowles (No. 1), Dr. Dre (No. 3), Jay Z (No. 6), Rihanna (No. 8), Bruno Mars (No. 13), Miley Cyrus (No. 17), and Kanye West (No. 20).
Notable newcomers to the 2014 list include musicians Bruno Mars (No. 13), Pharrell Williams (No. 38); television actress Kerry Washington (No. 93) and athlete Kevin Durant (No. 33).

Samba is a re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol, it facilitates file and printer sharing among Linux and Windows systems as an alternative to NFSv4. Some users say that Samba is easily configured and that operation is very straight-forward. However, many new users run into problems with its complexity and non-intuitive mechanism. It is strongly suggested that the user stick close to the following directions.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration
- 3 Accessing shares
- 3.1 Accessing a Samba share from GNOME/Xfce4/LXDE
- 3.2 Accessing shares from other graphical environments

Installing only the smbclient, available in the Official Repositories, is sufficient for systems that are not meant to share files, only access them.
In order to make shares available to clients, install samba, available in the Official Repositories.
Basic Setup
/etc/samba/smb.conf file must be created before starting the daemons. Once that is set up, users may opt for using an advanced configuration interface like SWAT.
As root, copy the default Samba configuration file to
# cp /etc/samba/smb.conf.default /etc/samba/smb.conf
smb.conf. The default file creates a share for each user's home directory. It also creates a share for printers.
More information about the options available can be found in
man smb.conf. Here is the online version.
To make samba work, start samba daemon or make it automatically start at boot.
Classic init
# rc.d start samba
# systemctl start smbd.service nmbd.service
Shell Based Options
Adding users
To log into a Samba share, a samba user is needed.
For Samba versions 3.4.0 and above:
# pdbedit -a -u <user>
For earlier versions of Samba:
# smbpasswd -a <user>
Existing smbpasswd databases can also be converted to the new format.
The user must already have an account on the server, if this is not the case, the following error will be displayed:
Failed to modify password entry for user "<user>"
Add a new user to the Linux host with adduser. This article does not cover adding users to Windows systems.
Web Based Option
SWAT: Samba web administration tool
SWAT is a facility that is part of the Samba suite. The main executable is called swat and is invoked by the eXtended InterNET Daemon, xinetd.
There are many and varied opinions regarding the usefulness of SWAT. No matter how hard one tries to produce the perfect configuration tool, it remains an object of personal taste. SWAT is a tool that allows Web-based configuration of Samba. It has a wizard that may help to get Samba configured quickly, it has context-sensitive help on each
smb.conf parameter, it provides for monitoring of current state of connection information, and it allows network-wide MS Windows network password management.[1]
smb.conf with a fully optimized file that has been stripped of all comments , and only non-default settings will be written to the file.
To use SWAT, first install xinetd, available in the Official Repositories.
/etc/xinetd.d/swat. To enable SWAT, change the
disable = yes line to
disable = no.
service swat { type = UNLISTED protocol = tcp port = 901 socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/swat log_on_success += HOST DURATION log_on_failure += HOST disable = no }
Alternatively, add an entry for swat to
/etc/services and omit the first 3 lines of the configuration.
Then start xinetd daemon.
The web interface can be accessed on port 901 by default:
Shared resources from other computers on the LAN may be accessed and mounted locally by GUI or CLI methods The graphical manner is limited. Some Desktop Environments have a way to facilitate accessing these shared resources. However, most do not. In fact, most lightweight DE's and WM's offer no native method.
There are two parts to share access. First is the underlying file system mechanism, and second is the interface which allows the user to select to mount shared resources. Some environments have the first part built into them.
If using KDE, it has the ability to browse Samba shares. Therefore do not need any additional packages. (However, for a GUI in the KDE System Settings, install the kdenetwork-filesharing package from [extra]. Another program choice is SMB4K.) If, however, users wish to use the share in Gnome or solely from a shell, an additional package is needed.
In order to access samba shares through Nautilus, first install the gvfs-smb and gnome-vfs packages, available in the Official Repositories.
For access under Xfce4 using Thunar or LXDE using pcmanfm, one only needs gvfs-smb, available in the Official Repositories.
From a Nautilus/Thunar window, hit Template:Keypress or go to the "Go" menu and select "Location..." -- both actions will allow for the typing in the "Go to:" blank. Enter:
/etc/hosts, use the IP address of the server in place of the servername.
From a Pcmanfm window, under the "Go" menu choose "Network Files".
Another GNOME browser program is Gnomba.
If iptables is running, the nf_conntrack_netbios_ns module should be loaded:
modprobe nf_conntrack_netbios_ns
There are a number of useful programs, but they will need to have packages created for them. This can be done with the Arch package build system. The good thing about these others is that they do not require a particular environment to be installed to support them, and so they bring along less baggage.
LinNeighborhood is non-specific when it comes to the DE or WM. It can be seen as a simple and generic X-based LAN browser and share mounter. Not pretty, but effective.
Other possible programs include pyneighborhood and RUmba, as well as the xffm-samba plugin for Xffm.
Shares may be accessed by using an automatic mounter or by using a manual method.
There are several alternatives for easy share browsing.
- Install smbnetfs, available in the Official Repositories.
- Add the following line to
- Load the
fusekernel module.
- Start the
If the required configuration is properly researched and done, it is claimed that all shares in the network are now automatically mounted under
Add the following to
/etc/rc.conf to access the shares at boot:
MODULES=(... fuse ...) DAEMONS=(... smbnetfs ...)
If a username and a password are required to access some of the shared folders, edit
/etc/smbnetfs/.smb/smbnetfs.conf and uncomment the line starting with "auth":
auth "hostname" "username" "password"
Then, it may be necessary to change the permissions of
/etc/smbnetfs/.smb/smbnetfs.conf and all include files for smbnetfs to work correctly:
# chmod 600 /etc/smbnetfs/.smb/smbnetfs.conf
smbclient 3.2.X is malfunctioning with
fusesmb, revert to using older versions if necessary. See the relevant forum topic for details.
- Install fusesmbAUR, available in the Arch User Repository.
- Create a mount point:
# mkdir /mnt/fusesmb
- Load
fusekernel module.
- Mount the shares:
# fusesmb -o allow_other /mnt/fusesmb
See Autofs for information on the kernel-based automounter for Linux.
1. Use smbclient to browse shares from the shell. To list any public shares on a server:
$ smbclient -L <hostname> -U%
2. Create the mount point for the share:
# mkdir /mnt/MOUNTPOINT
3. Mount the share using
mount.cifs. Keep in mind that not all options may be needed nor desirable, such as
# mount -t cifs //SERVER/SHARENAME MOUNTPOINT -o user=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD,workgroup=WORKGROUP,ip=SERVERIP
- The Windows system's name
- The shared directory
- The local directory where the share will be mounted to
-o [options]
- Specifies options for
- Username used to mount the share
- The shared directory's password
- Used to specify the workgroup
- The IP address of the server -- if the system is unable to find the Windows computer by name (DNS, WINS, hosts entry, etc.)
//SERVER/SHARENAME/ will not work.
As CIFS refuses to mount unsecured samba share, the sec=none option needs to be used (and the user and password from the options list need to be removed).
If the mount command cannot resolve the server's address but smbclient can, adding "wins" to the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf may help. The corresponding /lib/libnss_wins.so driver must also be present, which is provided by the samba (server) package.
4. To unmount the share, use:
# umount /mnt/MOUNTPOINT
Add the following to
/etc/fstab for easy mounting:
//SERVER/SHARENAME /mnt/MOUNTPOINT cifs noauto,noatime,username=USER,password=PASSWORD,workgroup=WORKGROUP,ip=SERVERIP 0 0
noauto option disables mounting it automatically at boot and
noatime increases performance by skipping inode access times. However, the
noatime is known to cause mount problems with kernel 3.4.x:
# mount error(22): Invalid argument # Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
After adding the previous line, the syntax to mount files becomes simpler:
# mount /mnt/MOUNTPOINT
Another option, to keep passwords out of sight, is to use the 'credentials' option:
//SERVER/SHARENAME /path/to/SHAREMOUNT cifs noauto,noatime,credentials=/path/to/smdcredentials 0 0
The credentials file should contain the following text:
username=USERNAME password=PASSWORD
It is highly recommended to chmod 600 this file so that only the owning user can read and write to it.
If adding a Samba share to
fstab, the
netfs daemon should also be added to
rc.conf, somewhere after the network daemon. The
netfs daemon will mount network partitions at boot and, more importantly, unmount network partitions at shutdown. Even if using the
noauto option in
fstab, the
netfs daemon should be used. Without it any network share that is mounted when shutting down will cause the
network daemon to wait for the connection to time out, considerably extending poweroff time.
Allowing users to mount
Before enabling access to the mount commands,
fstab needs to be modified. Add the
users options to the entry in
//SERVER/SHARENAME /path/to/SHAREMOUNT cifs users,noauto,noatime,username=USER,password=PASSWORD,workgroup=WORKGROUP,ip=SERVERIP 0 0
users (plural). For other filesystem types handled by mount, this option is usually user; sans the "s".
This will allow users to mount it aslong as the mount point resides in a directory controllable by the user; i.e. the user's home. For users to be allowed to mount and unmount the Samba shares with mount points that they do not own, use #smbnetfs, or grant privileges using sudo.
Tips and tricks
Option 1 - Force guest connections
/etc/samba/smb.conf and change the following line:
security = user
security = share
Option 2 - Allow guest and User connections
/etc/samba/smb.conf and add the following line:
map to guest = Bad User
After this line
security = user
Restrict the shares data to a specific interface replace:
; interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
interfaces = lo eth0 bind interfaces only = true
Optionally edit the account that access the shares, edit the following line:
; guest account = nobody
The last step is to create share directory (for write access make writable = yes):
[Public Share] path = /path/to/public/share available = yes browsable = yes public = yes writable = no
Sample configuration file
The configuration that worked for one user:
[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server netbios name = PC_NAME security = share ; the line below is important! If you have permission issues make ; sure the user here is the same as the user of the folder you ; want to share guest account = mark username map = /etc/samba/smbusers name resolve order = hosts wins bcast wins support = no
[public] comment = Public Share path = /path/to/public/share available = yes browsable = yes public = yes writable = no
How to configure the folder sharing in KDE4. Simple file sharing limits user shared folders to their home directory and read-only access. Advanced file sharing gives full semantics of Samba with no limits to shared folders but requires su or sudo root permissions.
- Read only, simple file sharing: Samba/Simple file sharing with KDE4
- Full capability file sharing: Samba/Advanced file sharing with KDE4
If nothing is known about other systems on the local network, and automated tools such as #smbnetfs are not available, the following methods allow one to manually probe for Samba shares.
1. First, install nmap and smbclient using pacman:
# pacman -S nmap smbclient
nmap checks which ports are open:
# nmap -p 139 -sT 192.168.1.*
In this case, a scan on the 192.168.1.* IP address range and port 139 has been performed, resulting in:
$ nmap -sT 192.168.1.*
Starting nmap 3.78 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-02-15 11:45 PHT Interesting ports on 192.168.1.1: (The 1661 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 5000/tcp open UPnP Interesting ports on 192.168.1.5: (The 1662 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 6000/tcp open X11 Nmap run completed -- 256 IP addresses (2 hosts up) scanned in 7.255 seconds
The first result is another system; the second happens to be the client from where this scan was performed.
3. Now that systems with port 139 open are revealed, use
nmblookup to check for NetBIOS names:
$ nmblookup -A 192.168.1.1
Looking up status of 192.168.1.1 PUTER <00> - B <ACTIVE> HOMENET <00> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> PUTER <03> - B <ACTIVE> PUTER <20> - B <ACTIVE> HOMENET <1e> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> USERNAME <03> - B <ACTIVE> HOMENET <1d> - B <ACTIVE> MSBROWSE <01> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
Regardless of the output, look for <20>, which shows the host with open services.
4. Use
smbclient to list which services are shared on PUTER. If prompted for a password, pressing enter should still display the list:
$ smbclient -L \\PUTER
Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- MY_MUSIC Disk SHAREDDOCS Disk PRINTER$ Disk PRINTER Printer IPC$ IPC Remote Inter Process Communication Server Comment --------- ------- PUTER Workgroup Master --------- ------- HOMENET PUTER
This shows which folders are shared and can be mounted locally. See: #Accessing shares
Remote control of Windows computer
Samba offers a set of tools for communication with Windows. These can be handy if access to a Windows computer through remote desktop is not an option, as shown by some examples.
Send shutdown command with a comment:
$ net rpc shutdown -C "comment" -I IPADDRESS -U USERNAME%PASSWORD
A forced shutdown instead can be invoked by changing -C with comment to a single -f. For a restart, only add -r, followed by a -C or -f.
Stop and start services:
$ net rpc service stop SERVICENAME -I IPADDRESS -U USERNAME%PASSWORD
To see all possible net rpc command:
$ net rpc
Samba offers an option to block files with certain patterns, like file extensions. This option can be used to prevent dissemination of viruses or to disuade users from wasting space with certain files:
Veto files = /*.exe/*.com/*.dll/*.bat/*.vbs/*.tmp/*.mp3/*.avi/*.mp4/*.wmv/*.wma/
Windows 7 connectivity problems - mount error(12): cannot allocate memory
A known Windows 7 bug that causes "mount error(12): cannot allocate memory" on an otherwise perfect cifs share on the Linux end can be fixed by setting a few registry keys on the Windows box as follows:
- HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache (set to 1)
- HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size (set to 3)
Restart the Windows machine for the settings to take effect.
Link to original article.
For trouble accessing a password protected share from Windows, try adding this to
Note that this needs to be added to the local smb.conf, not to the server's smb.conf
[global] # lanman fix client lanman auth = yes client ntlmv2 auth = no
Getting a dialog box up takes a long time
I had a problem that it took ~30 seconds to get a password dialog box up when trying to connect from both Windows XP/Windows 7. Analyzing the error.log on the server I saw:
[2009/11/11 06:20:12, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_connect(103) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 - Interrupted system call
This keeps samba from asking cups and also from complaining about /etc/printcap missing:
printing = bsd printcap name = /dev/null
Changes in Samba version 3.4.0
Major enhancements in Samba 3.4.0 include:
The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'! That breaks existing setups using the 'smbpasswd' backend without explicit declaration!
To stick to the 'smbpasswd' backend try changing this in
passdb backend = smbpasswd
or convert the smbpasswd entries using:
sudo pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam
Error: Value too large for defined data type
Some applications might encounter this error whith every attempt to open a file mounted in smbfs/cifs:
Value too large for defined data type
The solution[3] is to add this options to the smbfs/cifs mount options (in /etc/fstab for example):
It works on Arch Linux up-to-date (2009-12-02)
If upon booting, the samba shares cannot be accessed from any client, check the following:
- Make sure that the samba daemon has been added to the DAEMONS array of /etc/rc.conf (after the 'network' daemon)
- The network service is not started in the background (prefixed with @ ). Removing the '@' in front of 'network' can fix the issue. Reboot to check.
My guess on what has happened: When samba starts, the network is not properly initialized, so the server does not know on which interface to listen and thus fails to initialize correctly.
In case starting samba in the correct order still doesn't help, try inserting a delay command into /etc/rc.d/samba:
#!/bin/bash . /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions [ -f /etc/conf.d/samba ] && . /etc/conf.d/samba [ -z "$SAMBA_DAEMONS" ] && SAMBA_DAEMONS=(smbd nmbd) case "$1" in start) rc=0 stat_busy "Starting Samba Server" sleep 5 if [ ! -x /var/run/samba ] ; then # rest of the file not posted here.
Only the sleep 5 line is inserted, everything else is as from the Arch repositories. It causes a delay of 5 seconds before starting the samba server. In order to avoid the additional boot-time, start the Samba daemon in background, as described above.
The file /etc/rc.d/samba is part of the samba package, though. Therefore, manually apply this change every time Samba gets updated.
Sharing a folder fails
If sharing a folder from Dolphin (file manager) and everything seems ok at first, but after restarting Dolphin (file manager) the share icon is gone from the shared folder, and also some output like this in terminal (Konsole) output:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: usershares are currently disabled
Do the following:
/etc/samba/smb.conf as root and edit the section
[global] ..... usershare allow guests = Yes usershare max shares = 100 usershare owner only = False .....
close the file and do the following afterwards:
# mkdir /var/lib/samba/usershares # chgrp users /var/lib/samba/usershares/ # chmod 1770 /var/lib/samba/usershares/
samba daemon
That's it! (solution was originally found here)

Submitted by rc-admin on
Romantic Circles is pleased to announce the following new resources, along with a substantive update to an existing resource.
Robert Bloomfield, The Banks of Wye. An edition of Bloomfield's multimedia picturesque tour of the Wye valley. Poem, tour journal, sketchbook. Ed. Tim Fulford.
This edition presents a rare surviving example of the kind of multimedia production that arose from one of the new cultural activities of the late eighteenth century—the picturesque and antiquarian tour. It comprises a facsimile of the manuscript sketch- and scrap-book that Robert Bloomfield made after his 1807 tour of the Wye, an annotated transcription of the prose tour-journal that he incorporated into his scrap book, and a collated and annotated text of the poetic versions of the tour that were published (as The Banks of Wye) in 1811, 1813, and 1823. Also included are reproductions of the engravings that illustrated the 1811 and 1813 publications, deleted or unadopted passages from the manuscript of the poem, and a selection of reviews from journals of the time. The whole represents a visually and verbally rich response to the fashionable tour of the Wye. Bloomfield's manuscript sketch- and scrap-book is an example of the newly popular fashion for on-the-spot sketching. Full of self-penned images of views and ruins, it is a fine example of the visual culture that the English gentry began to produce and to value, a homemade book to pass around in drawing rooms before turning either to the latest set of picturesque engravings or to the poetic tour —The Banks of Wye — that Bloomfield himself issued in print. Bloomfield, indeed, hoped to issue not just the poetic tour but also the 'whole triple-page'd Journal, Drawings, prose, and rhime'. Cost prohibited such a publication at the time: only now, with this composite edition of poem, prose, scrap- and sketch-book, can we see the multimedia response to the Wye that was then accessible only to the intimate friends among whom the manuscript circulated.
Robert Southey and Millenarianism: Documents Concerning the Prophetic Movements of the Romantic Era. Ed. Tim Fulford.
This website presents the first scholarly edition of Robert Southey's various writings about the prophetic movements of Romantic-era Britain. Its aim is to throw new light on two related areas: the nature and history of millenarian prophecy in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries—especially William Bryan, Richard Brothers, and Joanna Southcott—, and the significance of prophecy in Southey's social, political analysis of his times. A fascinated commentator upon what he termed 'enthusiasm', Southey published two of the earliest accounts of Southcott and her predecessors ever written, accounts derived both from personal acquaintance with some of the major figures involved and from a detailed study of their writings. These accounts are reproduced here, collated with the manuscripts on which they were based, and with explanatory notes. In addition, a selection of Southey's remarks on millenarians in his private manuscript correspondence is presented, and an introduction comprising a brief history of the prophetic movements in the Romantic era and a critical discussion of Southey's writings on the subject.
The Letters of Robert Bloomfield and his Circle. Ed. Tim Fulford and Lynda Pratt The editors are delighted to announce an update to their edition of Bloomfield collected letters, comprising four previously unknown letters that throw new light on Bloomfield's relationship with his patron, Capel Lofft, and on the patronage of labouring-class poets in the early nineteenth century more generally. The letters also throw new light on periodical culture in the period and present an early draft of one of Bloomfield's popular songs.

Lance Corporal Thomas Caleb Getscher Receives New Smart Home!
On June 7, 2016 LCpl Caleb Getscher, his wife, and their daughter, were welcomed home to their new smart home in Leonardtown, MD.
LCpl Getscher suffered the loss of both legs, his left arm, and traumatic brain injury affecting his short-term memory when an IED was detonated while he was on foot patrol in Sangin, Afghanistan.

311 South Walnut Street was listed with this family in 1920, 1935, and 1940. It's also on the same street that will appear as other family members over time
Franklin was a 1st Cousin, 2 times removed on my mother's side of the family.
The house is across the street and less then half a block from where my mother's parents lived, when I knew them. I may have actually been inside of this house.

Top Colors for 2015 | Beautiful Design Made Simple
Top Sherwin Williams Paint Colors
Paint is one of the most cost-effective, yet impactful updates you can make to your home. It may just be the easiest way to keep your home in tune with design trends. Sherwin-Williams Color Forecast 2015 tells optimistic color stories that reflect a brightened outlook and adventurous spirit for the year ahead. Sherwin-Williams color experts researched trends in art, fashion, science and global culture to create this colorful, four-palette forecast.
"We're seeing a more cheerful approach to design and have forecasted colors that provide inspiration for people to create fresh, joyful interiors," said Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing, Sherwin-Williams. "Color Forecast 2015 features colors that can work for any space and design aesthetic, whether it's a dreamy bedroom or a vibrant entertaining space."
Based on extensive research and the unique drivers of today's design trends, the 40 colors of the forecast are grouped into four palettes: Chrysalis, Voyage, Buoyant and Unrestrained.
Top Interior Paint Colors
As technology rushes relentlessly ahead, the colors of Chrysalis evoke a calm oasis — a place to pause and find balance. The palette, with colors ranging from off-black to chalky neutrals and dusty blues, is designed to create a more comfortable interior.
"An important influence for Chrysalis is the appreciation of earth's natural striations," said Jordan. "The patterns created by land and sky are driving design inspiration, therefore the palette's colors are found in nature, from rocks found on the beach to a stormy sky."
Another driver is the layering and deconstruction of geometric shapes to appear soft, which parallels the monochromatic couture found on fashion runways.
Popular Living Room Colors
From space tourism and undersea resorts, the far-fetched, sci-fi dreams of past decades are more viable than ever. The Voyage palette looks to these outer limits, featuring hues that represent the color spectrum imagined while emerging from the water into the atmosphere — undersea teal, bright green kelp, light watery blue and deep space purple.
"The colors of Voyage are supernatural and magical. The palette is largely driven by unusual atmospheric events, including a decade-best aurora borealis, that will be keeping our eyes focused on the heavens," said Jordan. "The lighter colors of the palette create a space that is uplifting, while the deeper tones can be combined for a more dramatic design."
Top Designer Paint Colors
"We've weathered the recession and are finally seeing hopeful signs of growth and expansion. Our revived good spirits echo the optimism that followed World War II, when GIs returned home from exotic locales, bringing a wave of tropical prints and tiki-inspired looks," said Jordan. "Like that era, we're expressing our enthusiasm with big, bright florals in fashion and interiors."
The colors of Buoyant are reminiscent of vintage floral patterns – light and deep greens, violets and a pop of coral. In addition to renewed optimism, the palette is also inspired by the natural healing of botanicals, as well as the incorporation of green spaces into even the most densely urban environments. Backyards, once a landscaping afterthought, are now as important as front yards, with builders investing in rear "curb appeal" and outdoor rooms.
Most Popular Paint Colors
From bold, ethnic-inspired colors and designs to the Bohemian lifestyle, the Unrestrained palette celebrates a carefree spirit, wanderlust and pulsing color. The palette features saturated primary hues, including sunny yellow, lively turquoise and bright blue, as well as black and white. Each can be used on its own for a pop of color, or combined, to create a vibrant, energetic space.
"South Africa's colorful art scene and focus on the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro have strongly influenced a Carnival-like spirit. This spirit is inspiring design with a zest for life, and the vibrant colors of Unrestrained are a reflection of that design aesthetic," said Jordan.
