Just need to get my network and ntfs drive shared now any tips? oh and warnings on the mint theme, I can't get back to any other skin, and need to find where to edit the config manually. Appologies if there is a simple way but I couldnt work it out.
I'm not sure if this is the solution you are looking for, but I wanted to share an external drive and was having a lot of trouble. My solution was to take the entire contents of the drive and put that into a folder on the drive. Essentially you are making no changes, just adding a folder layer. Then you make a link of that folder and put the link in your home folder (you know, the empty one with the folders for videos, pictures, music, etc.). Doesn't really matter where. I put my link in the videos folder, but probably any folder will do. Now you should be able to right click on the link (not the original folder, the link (aka shortcut)) and get the share folder option.
Voila.
I also had the same problem w/ the Mint theme. I'm not sure how I got it to go back. Just started pressing keyboard buttons. Somewhere in the QW-AS region sends you back to the setttings menu, I think. Then, of course, you should have no problem returning to a slightly more manageable (if less pretty) theme.
