LiSA Daemon
Hi,
I posted this to the networking forum, but I though somebody here might also be able to help me. I have two Slackware workstations, each running 10.2 with the 2.6.10 kernel provided in testing. The systems share a local area network. They are on the 192.168.0.n subnet. One of the workstations has my music and I want to mount the volume from the other workstation. I can use SSH to connect to the other workstation. It is also configured as a samba server. I can connect in this fashion, but I cannot seem to connect using Juk or Amarok without crashing the apps. I thought that perhaps I should mount the other volume using LiSA. I've configured it using the KDE control center. It asks me to start the daemon, which is where I get lost. I cannot find the daemon on my computer in the normal places. The documentation I've found shows it in a couple of different places, but on mine the only one I can discover is under KDE which turns out to be a little graphics demo. Can someone maybe give me an idea of a couple things to try? Even just a pointer to the right documentation would be most welcome. Thx in advance, desertViking |

You need to enter the following in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
if [ -x /opt/kde/bin/lisa ]; then echo "Starting LISa" /opt/kde/bin/lisa fi After entering that and then start Control Center select Internet & Network select Local Network Browsing enter your stuff under Windows shares if you do that under LISa Daemon go with the defaults in the guided setup. Good Luck |
Thx guzzi,
I will try that when I get home. I found that binary and thought it was something else. Thx for pointing me in the right direction! Will post my results here tonight. Kind regards, desertViking |
Lisa is ok but found it's performance lacking too much. Sometimes it will find shares, sometimes it won't find jack.
I use smb4k now and it rocks. It's fast and finds everything plus you can mount and unmount shares right from in it(it just creates a smb4k directory in your home dir and mounts shares there). |
Thank-you to both who took the time to respond to my question.
I was able to enable the LiSA daemon as noted here. Browsing network shares now. Having used the SMB4K tool before, I downloaded that source and built it, and it too has helped me out. Thx for the kind advice. Regards, desertViking |
