Solved it (makes it easy that OMV is running Debian)
Install vbetool
# apt-get install vbetool
Turn monitor off:
# vbetool dpms off
Turn monitor on:
#vbetool dpms on
Note that once it's off you have to restore it with a command, not mouse or random keystrokes.
Is there a command line command I can use to turn off the monitor or a setting to turn it off automatically?
I'm running OMV on my netbook and would like to turn the display off to conserve power.
Thanks
Good call tekkbebe.
Rebooting a switch (one I never think about because it always works) did the trick. The OMV server now displays as a normal share on the Windows network and the Windows "WORKGROUP" now shows up to the Ubuntu box. Thanks!
For some reason, it's still not appearing by default in the list of network computers but at least I can get to it.
Yes!
In fact, by doing that, it suddenly appeared as a regular part of the network.
Thanks.
I don't know if this is relevant or not, but my Ubuntu box also doesn't see the shared drives on the Windows computers. When I click the "Windows Network" button in the browser it's empty. The OMV SMB share is displayed outside that folder.
Yes, as far as I can tell.
I'm using the default "WORKGROUP" for both the Windows boxes and OMV
I had everything working perfectly at one point but I must have changed something important and now my Windows computers can't see the OMV share. The strange thing is that the share is still visible to a Ubuntu computer on the network. The web interface is fine and I can even browse my files through a web browser. But the OMV computer doesn't show up at all on the MS Windows network browser.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
