How to turn off the microphone in Ubuntu or Linux Mint?

Does your computer have a built-in microphone? Here is how to mute or disable the microphone in Linux (Ubuntu or Linux Mint) in software. Introduction The easiest way to turn off a microphone is to unplug it. So we can be sure that it is no longer picking up anything ... However, on a laptop with a built-in microphone, you can't do it. On the other hand, it is always possible to deactivate it by software. One solution is to mute the microphone input (not its listening), which is equivalent to deactivating it.

How to create a network share in Ubuntu?

Several methods are possible to set up a network share in Ubuntu (and its official variants Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, ...) in order to easily exchange files with other computers on the same network. Here we will see how to do it with the Samba protocol. Introduction Several protocols allow you to share folders on a local network. The two main ones are: SMB (Server Message Block): originally on Windows with the old name CIFS (Common Internet File System). Samba is its open-source version for Linux systems. NFS (Network File System): initially intended for Unix systems (including Linux), but also available for Windows or Mac. In this tutorial, we will be using Samba to create a network share in Linux Mint. Indeed, this protocol has several advantages: most OS (hence Ubuntu) support access to shared resources through the latter. Setting up a network share in Ubuntu via Samba is easy once the additional packages are installed. Install Samba to create network shares in Ubuntu As said befor...
