Simple Samba setup on Lubuntu

I have a simple lubuntu server where I setup a ssh server. While it is sufficient to access a driver/folder from another linux machine using sftp, it is a pain from Windows & Mac, so unfortunately, samba is still needed here.

For simplicity I needed only one samba user that I could map to a single user on my lubuntu machine

Following the various tutorial I ended up doing this with simple commands

Install samba
$ sudo apt-get install samba
Add myuser to the samba
$ sudo smbpasswd -a myuser
Export the drive I needed (no guest user)
$ sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
to add the following export (no real option needed here)
[files]
path = /media/music/files
writeable = yes
save and Restart samba
$ sudo service smbd restart

Soving AccessDenied on Google Cloud Storage domain mapping

As I was facing this again trying to create amp pages for my main site www.tekartik.com , here is a concrete example for my changes Adding the proper DNS redirection in my domain provider (OVH in my case) www.tekartik.com. CNAME c.storage.googleapis.com. This was first giving the error: <Error>   <Code>AccessDenied</Code>   <Message>Access denied.</Message>   <Details>Anonymous callers do not have storage.objects.list access to bucket www.tekartik.com.</Details> </Error> the solution was to configure my bucket as a website configuration : gsutil web set -m index.html -e 404.html gs://www.tekartik.com And to make all files I add public by default and not worry about ACL anymore, I can use gsutil defacl ch -u AllUsers:R gs://www.tekartik.com To make previous imported files public, I can use gsutil -m acl -r set public-read gs://www.tekartik.com

Fixing "DerInputStream.getLength(): lengthTag=109, too big" in Android Studio

This happened to me in Android Studio after AndroidX migration and using the new testing framework. Even deleting the existing ~/.android/debug.keystore was failing for me The solution was regenerate it manually (accept all questions as empty and say yes at the last one) $ keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 And copy it $ rm ~/.android/debug.keystore $ cp debug.keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore
