When trying via Panel > Connections > + button > Virtual > Wireguard I can manually copy paste the information from the client.conf and add a virtual connection.
But then I cannot do anything with it, it won’t be listed as VPN Connection (since it is listed under Virtual Connection).
So I can’t seem to do anything with it, at least not from the UI, no idea how to use it from terminal after adding it via the UI.
Actually, with Wireguard generating .conf files for each client, it seems all you have to do is copy that file to the client, save as /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf and enable the service.
What I would love to see in Ubuntu 21.10: a simpler way to import the conf file (just like you can import OpenVPN files via the UI) and an easy toggle to enable/disable the connection.
For applets that are listed as being deprecated in the first post I think the way forward is to advertise the project as needing a maintainer in welcome-budgie-applets as described here
Anyone with a bit of html skills can help to implement this.
Is there any plan to enable tracker in Nemo to improve the results of « recent files » ?
Actually « recent files » in Nemo only shows things that has been launched « through » Nemo.
If I understand right, if tracker was enabled it might then show anything previously launched through any app tracker is aware of.
Another thing with Nemo : I’ve never been able to use its samba-share feature, it always throws errors.
Even if my samba shares do work - as I deal with them through smb.conf manually.
Having an Ubuntu(Budgie) computer amongst other Windows computers ( or NAS devices ) is not so rare. Such a tool for « easily » managing samba-shares would be a relief ( because samba is everything you want, except easy ). And samba is to be found in many places.
Since I’m here, such an easy graphical tool would also be a relief regarding NFS settings.
There had been attempts, I don’t actually know the state of this one.
It’s sometimes easier to install Warpinator, Syncthing or LANdrop rather than setting regular, ±native shares…
Ouch, that sounds like a trap I was not aware that problems with Nemo and Samba were years long… nemo samba share – Qwant Search
There are workarounds, unfixed bugs here and there… Note that Nautilus nowadays don’t have these problems with samba ( that’s how I « fixed » : installed Nautilus, did the shares, bookmarks and so on with it and once done through Nautilus it’s then OK in Nemo… )
With the rumoured native read-write NTFS support in the 5.15 kernel this will make things easier, assuming of course that software developers make the necessary changes to adjust & adapt.
Regarding NFS, when I looked into it a couple years ago, I first tried the tool you are referring to as I wanted an easy GUI way to make it work, but I couldn’t make anything run with it.
I’m afraid your best solution is to manually configure NFS, and then add the shared folders to fstab, so that you only have to set it once.
That’s the only way it’s worked for me.
For manual configuration, after a bit of research and lengthy complicated tutorials, the one that did the trick for me is the official Ubuntu one: Service - NFS | Ubuntu
It’s the simplest I’ve found that just works, including on Manjaro.
It requires defining specific IPs for the computers involved in your router though. If you do it only at computer level, the router might attribute that IP to another device while the computer is not active, leading to conflicts.
I don’t use samba, as I only have Linux computers, I can’t help you on that. Have you tried with Nautilus?
