F r e q u e n t l y   A s k e d   Q u e s t i o n s
 
Here are some of the popular questions that are encountered over time and an answer or two for them. These will be updated regularly:
 
Linux
 
Q: In Lycoris Linux, how can I change the single click open to double click like in Windows?
A: Click Flower menu -> System Management -> Control Center -> Accessibility ->
Mouse Settings. In the bottom section, straight under "Icons" is "Single
click to open files and folders" or "Double click to open files and
folders (select icons on first click)". Select the one you want, click Apply, click OK then Exit the Control Center. Changes take effect immediately, no reboot required!

Q: I've setup a Samba server to allow file sharing between my Windows, Linux and Mac machines but it doesn't seem to go. What needs to be done?
A: Make sure the Samba server is running by typing (as root):
ps aux | grep smb
If nothing comes back, or if all you see on the far right is "grep smb" then Samba isn't running. Change to your /etc/rc.d/init.d directory and see if there's a script called Samba there. If so type:
samba start
Samba will now run. If however, that doesn't seem to change or improve conditions, you must make sure that whatever user you are logged in as on the other machines, that you have an account under that username on the server as well. If so, type:
smbpasswd -a username
where "username" is the user name of the account you want to be able to access the Samba server shares. It'll ask you for an access password twice. I usually make this the same as the user's password, saving you from having to type two different passwords to access the resource and will automatically grant you access.
After that you should be set and be able to see your folder and any other allocated shared resources.
