it’s a swole doge vs cheems meme

on swole doge side, there are two popups: kCrash and Ubuntu apport. Both have options to see detailed logs and an optional button to send report to developers, along with options to close the popup.
accompanied is a text that reads “Here’s the information. What do you wish to do?”

on crying cheems side, there’s popup for windows and mac. windows has just a cancel button with report being sent already. mac has ignore and report button. there is no option to see logs without reporting on both. here, accompanied text reads, “let’s add this to the personally identifiable information we have on you.”

    @Phanlix Well thats sad. Probably if you could show the error someone more experienced than me in gnome or fedora could help.

    Can I recommend you to switch to another distro ( for what I just read from other user, PopOS seems to be good for newbies ) or DE? KDE is a DE which look very similar to Windows and I had 0 problem mounting my samba and nfs drives.

      Holy crap I got it to work. smbv1 is not enabled by default on Linux.

      Once I went through the tutorial and added

      client min protocol = NT1 server min protocol = NT1

      to smb.conf, it worked and I could connect!

      Sadly it still wouldn’t accept my username and password, but I set it to allow anon login and that’s working 100% right now. So… just need to figure out why it won’t accept username and password. Moment of truth comes when I test VLC again too.

          Thanks lol, stream is working great too, much better than Fedora. Way less choppy and it doesn’t crash when you seek on VLC, so Pop!OS is clearly the superior distro here.

          I do need to figure out the login eventually. I need read/write access and as anon I can’t write, but I’ll come back to that. I’m getting a ton of stuff set up now.

      I’m probably going to end back up on windows.

      Did download PopOS though, it already beats the hell out of Fedora because off the rip Nvidia just works.

      However I still cannot connect to my network drive. I can see it fine in +other locations, but when I open it it says “unable to access location: failed to mount windows share: software caused connection abort”
