what even is a permission?

i have an external drive connected to a lunix/kodi box, and i’m trying to reach it over the network via osx using sonarr. i’m getting a permissions error where [username] doesn’t have write access, but osx says i do

OS X ------> ~network magicks~----> OpenElec running Kodi -> External drive

i installed sonarr via homebrew cask if that matters. docker was also an option? i don’t know what i’m doing!

why is openelec using smb if you're on a mac
has the openelec server given the soluau user permissions to that share

idk what selinux is
when i use cmd+K to connect to the openelec server it shows smb at the beginning. idk why
openelec is set to share everything with the network

this seems to just be a problem on the osx end. I can read files just fine w/Kodi and it is set to share everything with everyone

should i try a different filesystem for the external drive? i used HFS+

if you can get to a root shell on your openelec box try the following:
sestatus
ls -laZ /mnt/externaldrive
(where /mnt/externaldrive is the mount point on the openelec box for the external drive)

if selinux is set to enforcing, the samba server on the openelec box might not have access to read the share. you can fix this by either
A) changing the selinux context on the external drive with semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t "/mnt/externaldrive(/.*)?" and then restorecon -R -v /mnt/externaldrive
B) allow samba to read any file on the server with setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro 1, or read and write any file with setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw 1
also both of these are "permanent" which means they persist across reboots


if selinux is set to disabled or permissive, then none of that will do anything. if kodi can access it locally, try entering a different username/password when you mount the share on your mac, like for instance the kodi account's username and password

pretty sure you can just use whatever router your ISP gives you and just disable its wifi.

people who are in the US, sign up for the Ubiquiti beta store and you can see the wacky stuff they're thinking of releasing. Right now it's LED lights for drop ceilings, but powered by PoE.

They had an extremely cool and good solar panel with a lithium battery integrated into it and PoE out which they were selling for mad cheap, and they just haven't released it.

Thank for for the help but that was all a bit over my head. I ended up changing the filesystem to exFAT and it worked. :confused:

meh, IOT light switches "require" installation by an electrician, and are still subject to the instabilities of xigbee or wifi. "EOT" (PoE) lights can be installed by a low voltage contractor and won't have the same issues with wireless signalling.

it's still ridiculously overpriced and dumb compared to conventional led lighting solutions but at least the niche isn't completely without reason

weirdly smb/cifs has unix extensions to more closely match posix semantics

there is also nfs, the original unix network share protocol, but there is no reason not to use cifs for linux<=>linux filesharing

its great when you're the first person on the node but you're still sharing bandwidth with the neighbors. See what your ISPs policy is for minimum throughput before they split one up. Mine is 500mbit which its plenty good for my need and see 800+ for most of the day

I just need reassurance.

I dumped my Gigabyte Z97 motherboard for a Dell C226 board. The thing is the backplate made me use a cheap thermaltake cpu fan since the stock one won’t fit. So it’s idling at 47c which is a little high. That doesn’t warrant a repaste does it? It’s got a Xeon under it so overclocking is literally impossible anyway.

check the fan profile, it could be off until it hits 50

I’m pretty sure it’s on full blast since it’s missing the fifth pin that the weird Dell sensor uses. In which case, yeah I should reseat and repaste it. It’s running a little hotter than a stock HSF. I think that’s a legit cause for concern, not just ocd. Thanks, guys.

im working on a little server c2d ting now and it's so old that i think the bios is bitflipped somewhere; it only sees -85C in bios for the CPU temp and accordingly shits its pants and 100%'s the fan

I had a 'quiet adapter' for 4pin from my other build so just used that. it rolls around 1800 rpm and seems to keep it pretty happy. shrug

idling at 47c doesn't matter at all. if it's getting super hot under full load that's more cause for concern, but even then unless it starts throttling itself you're fine.


on my computer i got annoyed with vibration noise from the cpu fan (the brackets holding it to the heatsink were buzzing) so i just said "gently caress it" and mounted the fan directly to the case vent a couple inches away. it's a big old noctua heatsink so it's fine.


lol i remember one time someone asked me for help figuring out why their computer was running so intermittently dogshit slow. i eventually figured out the heatsink wasn't mounted right so sometimes it'd come a bit loose and the cpu was throttling itself big time. first time i'd seen a CPU registering 100+C before lol


worked just fine after we unfucked that.
