So many days thinking why my lenovo idealpad can't see itself in the network browser ... instead others computer in my home also can't see my lenovo id but funny my lenovo can see others.
Here I get from few expert that help me...:) only one line of commandsudo /etc/init.d/samba start
that all...after that everyone can see that computer in everyone browser...
Should linux mint/ubuntu is automatically do it instead we have to tweak around. I hope they in Linux mint can do better next time. Windows can do it so friendly...please all the good programmer you can do to in linux mint ....
Linux setup on my computer
Linux compilation is meanly for me to remember a few step when I install linux mint 8 and ubuntu 9.10 into my Asus laptop. This blog contain all step I did installing and troubleshoot when using Linux.
Before this I'm using ubuntu 9.10 but after trying linux mint 8 I found out it easy on me. Maybe later I will change to other distro...well still this blog will be added all the step I do in that distro.
