Subversion (SVN) Unable to Commit

June 30th, 2008

After creating a new SVN repository I was unable to commit or create folders.  I received the following error message: “Can’t created directory” …  “permission denied”

The problem was the svn folder did not have write access for the group.  This was solved by applying the write permission for the group.

Setting up Samba in Ubuntu:

October 2nd, 2007

Disclaimer:  This site is mainly an online repository for my notes.  I have very limited knowledge in dealing with Samba. So these instructions may not be viable or safe in other environments. (Or my own for that matter).

  1. Create a “Share” by using the GUI in SYSTEM -> ADMINISTRATION -> SHARED FOLDERS:
  2. By default encrypted passwords are supported. Before a user can connect to your share you must create an SMB password. Do this from the command line by typing sudo smbpassword USERNAME
  3. The user can now log in by hitting the ip address of your host.
  4. With this setup, you probably will not be visible on a “workgroup”
  5. You can modify your settings via /etc/samba/smb.conf
