Resolving USB Hard Drive Disappearance on Raspberry Pi 3 with Ubuntu Server 22.04


Problem


Sometime the USB Hard Drive with ntfs file system, shared with samba, on my Raspberry Pi 3 running Ubuntu Server 22.04, disappears.


Solution

Step 1: Enable Predictable Network Interface Names


When the USB power is cycled, the network interface name changes from eth0 to enx[mac address], causing network issues. To ensure the network interface retains the name eth0, I created a udev rule.

Transforming Xubuntu/Xfce for Remote Access via RDP


Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a powerful tool that allows you to access your desktop environment from anywhere. If you’re using XUbuntu or Xfce, you can easily set up RDP by following these steps:


Step 1: Install XRDP


First, you need to install XRDP, an open-source implementation of the RDP server. Open your terminal and run the following command:


sudo apt install xrdp
