Samba shares do not show up in file manager

OS: OpenSuse Tumbleweed VERSION_ID=“20200331”

File to check: /var/log/samba/log.nmbd

So my samba network was not visible at all in xfce on OpenSuse. In this case it was not the firewall or samba version, it was just dns resolving. I noticed my OpenSuse VM still had localhost as the hostname and in

/etc/samba/smb.conf

I had the following settings active:

Grub not working after Windows 10 installation

Had to do this to recover a forgotten password on an old laptop

After booting, at the Lilo prompt type:

linux single init=/bin/bash rw


And then:
passwd

This worked for me..

On the source machine:
Step 1.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C %user%@%target% Enter a passphrase if you want, it is not necessary
Step 2.
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh %user%@%target% 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

Authorized Keys file on target machine
.ssh/authorized_keys is a file on the target machine and should be mode 600.

Related: Using multiple ssh private keys

• First generate the key with ssh-keygen
• Create following file ~/.ssh/config.
• Enter following information:
  

  Host %enter_a_nice_name%
                   HostName %target%
                   User %username%
                   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/%generated_key_file% (normally in ~/.ssh directory)

• Do this for your multiple target hosts

Using the "echo" command
echo %n% > /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness

%n% represents value between 0 - 255

Change the file permission for /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness to 666. This is not saved on reboot!

To make a permanent change:
1. sudo nano /etc/rc.local
2. Add 1 line above the "exit" line
3. Type in "sudo chmod 666 /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightnes"
