When I try to write the edited file out, permission is denied.
After upgrading to PathPilot 2.0, I was no longer able to access my gcode folder over the network. The smb.conf settings Tormach uses are not compatible with Samba4 (it looks as though this new version came with the latest Linux Mint Tormach uses with PP). To fix, open a terminal from within PathPilot by pressing ctrl+alt+x and edit the smb.conf.share file in your home directory:
The "security = share" setting is the incompatible one. Change the file contents as follows:Code:cd ~ nano smb.conf.share
Save the file and reboot. Your network share should re-appear.Code:[global] security = user map to guest = Bad Password # share config [gcode] comment = Tormach controller gcode folder path = /home/operator/gcode writeable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = yes force user = operator username = operator

That solved the write=permission problem, but after saving & rebooting, PP 2.0 still can't see the shared file.
Run smbstatus to see if there are any problems:
Code:sudo service samba restart sudo smbstatus
Your screen shot is identical to what I see when I run smbstatus.
Once I saw there were no errors, I needed to hard-reboot my PathPilot machine before I was able to see the gcode share again.
That's no good.
The only other thing I can think of is to make sure the "Internet" button is clicked in the Status tab.
I am running PP2 both on my controller and inside VirtualBox, with different problems in the two environments.
On my controller ("PP2/native"), everything works except networking. The controller can see my LAN and claims to have a connection to it, but no other machine on the LAN can see the controller, so file exchange must be achieved by ferrying a thumb drive back & forth.
Inside VB ("PP2/VB"), I am building on an ova file that I got from @Steve303. The network setting is already Attached to Bridged Adapter.
The Settings display does not list the host's USB drives, so I can't choose one to be available from within PP2/VB. I could live with that (I had the same problem with PP1.9/VB) if I could get shared folders to work in PP2/VB (they worked fine in PP1.9/VB). The Settings/shared folders display looks right,
but in the file tab of PP2/VB I see only
I thought that sf_PathPilotSharedFolder might be a useful link to my designated shared folder, but no such luck. When PP2/VB opens it, it is (unlike my designated shared folder) empty.
The upshot is that PP2/VB is working for me, except that I can't get gCode into or out of it.

Yes.
In PP2/native, What I get with nm-connection-editor is exactly like that, except that instead of Ethernet connection 1 mine has Wifi fenichel41a [fenichel41a is the SSID of my router], and instead of 3 minutes ago it says now. In PP2/VB, the corresponding items are Auto Ethernet and 2 minutes ago, from which edit gets me to a tab showing a MAC aqddress.If that's the case press the Ctrl+ALT+X keys to bring up a terminal and enter this command "nm-connection-editor". You should see a window like this:
I haven't tried to access the Internet from either controller. My only interest in connectivity is for moving gCode back and forth here.If you have a connection then something else is not right.
Can you access the internet from both controllers?
- I haven't given much thought to facilitating direct transfers between PP2/VB and PP2/native. My workflow centers on my Windows machine, and I'm content, at least for now, to deal with only transfers to & from Windows.
- For Windows-to/from- PP2/VB, the reasonable file-transferring channel is a shared folder. That worked well for me with PP1.9/VB, but I haven't been able to get it working with PP2/VB. I've been following pertinent discussions in another thread, and I've been exchanging off-line messages with @Steve303, so far without success.
- For Windows-to/from-PP2/native, a carried USB drive is usable, but a shared gCode folder would be slicker.
Worked perfect for me also... Thanks so much for sharing.
Bringing this back to the top. Worked for me as well. Couldn't figure out why my Windows 10 system couldn't access the share anymore.
Somehow I've lost my network drive and now it asked me for credentials when I remap
If it asks for username and PW try guest and guest
That worked, only damn combination I didn't try, thank you so much Doug
