I cannot connect to a share on Windows XP machine, because it rejects my password. I'm using correct username and password. When running from console, smbclient's error message is: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE I can connect to said share from other Windows machine.

I have installed ubuntu 10.10 and the Samba addon to configure my shares to my Windows terminals.This is what I got
Firewall off (utf disabled)
Internal Sata /dev/sda1 (EXT4 FS)
External USB HDD /dev/sdb1 mounted at /media/SG1500GB (EXT4 FS)
I have two shares
1. //home/test - Which I can see and access with no problems (can't write to it though even though I set the share as writable?, but, I can read from it). This is available to everyone. My windows terminal can see this folder and access it. This is on my main 80GB internal drive /dev/sda1.
2. //media/SG1500GB/Music. I set this up for everyone full access and I can see it at all my Windows machines but,I can't get into the folder. Windows keeps giving me an error stating network path not found.I also try to access it via the Nautilus (Places/Network/system/music) and get an error message "unable to mount location, Failed to mount windows share". This drive is mounted per the disk utility.
I have recently set up an ubuntu installation on an old PC. After some fiddling with both it, and the windows 7 machine, I have managed to share all of my drives. However, when attempting to access them from ubuntu, only 2 of the 4 hard disk shares will mount, with the other 2 failing with a Unable to mount location, failed to mount windows share error message.

i'm trying to connect to the three other machines in my house but am having quite a hard time doing so. i've never had a problem in the past with ubuntu, but, with 9.1 and windows 7, things have gotten a bit harder. i'm running 9.1 and my roommates are running windows 7. i've installed, set up and configured samba and i can see the computers on my network, but any time i try to access either of the drives, it says unable to mount location: failed to mount windows share.

View 3 Replies View Relatedim trying to get a network setup i followed the instruction via gentoo wiki samba what i have done
[Code]...
then i did chmod 777 to the shared folders on both machines went into nautilus it sees the folder but it will not mount the folder showing the error msg:"unable to mount location failed to mount windows share" ive been searching unbuntu forums opensuseforums and google for an answer to this issue but as of right now anything that i have tried to do has failed and nothing seems to be working.
I have a networked raid drive. Thecus 2100. Its running linux, and includes samba sharing. On that I have a folder shared. I can connect to and read and write from nautilus. No problems. However, I can't use other apps through that method. Its not really "mounting" that drive in the sense you'd normally think of (afaik).
If I try to mount the folder, no matter how I have tried so far (-t cifs, smbmount, etc), I can navigate the folders, but if I try to read any file I get a permission error. Looking at the permissions with 'ls -l', everything looks OK. The weird thing is, I can write a file, then read that file back as long as its the same session.
Just now I tried 'smbclient' with no special arguments. Just the server and path url. It asked for my password. Once I was in, I had no trouble getting files. I had a thread about this a while back and there were several links and all sorts of command line options to try, which I did, with no different outcome. I think its got to be something much simpler and more obvious. smbclient and nautilus seem to have no trouble. Anybody know what they're doing differently?
I'm trying to access shared directories on a WIN/XP box in my home lan and get that message.
I can access other shared directories on a Win-7 box, but not those on the old WIN/XP box.
Where to start to debug this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Unix services for windows on a windows system and shared a few folders using it; now how can I mount it on Linux?
There's no way you can search for this question online. These search terms -
"mount windows NFS share linux"
Also mean -
"mount linux NFS share windows"
and -
"mount share windows linux NFS"
Which actually means NFS 4 which supports SMB protocol.
So actually it's IMPOSSIBLE to search for this and so this will be a good sticky.
I am currently in a more mixed environment as I desire and I need to mount samba shares because I need to work with the data. I noticed that nautilus does not really mount the shares and some applications cannot deal with smb urls. I searched and found this old thread: [URL]. Is it possible that after all these years, this is still unchanged? To permanently mount on boot time is not an option for me as the drive will not always be available - already changes when I move within the office from fixed to WLAN (e.g. when going to a meeting and vice versa).

I'm successfully accessed a local Windows Share folder with the "Places --> Connect to Server" tool, but I can't figure out how to get it permanently mounted so that I don't have to keep logging in every time I boot up. I understand that the solution is supposed to involve adding a line to fstab, but I've tried a dozen variations on it based on various tutorials I've found online to no avail. Is there any way to check and see how the "Connect to Server" tool is doing its magic? Or to make that permanent?

In an effort to get back to learning Linux have recently installed Kubuntu 10.04 LTS on a spare computer I have. I would like a way to mount my DVD .iso files that I spent hours ripping. On my Windows computers I just use DaemonTools. In my quest to find something similar for Linux I ran across AcetoneISO. The issue is that when I try to mount an .iso from the Windows share folder I get a message stating that only local images can be mounted. To need to have the images on this computer would defeat the purpose of having the file server with 4.5 terabytes of storage. Is there a way I can mount the .iso files without transferring them to the Kubuntu machine first? If I have to use different software I am fine with that. I am not looking for the command line option as I will never remember the name of every .iso I have.

I have been successfully creating permanent windows share mounts on Ubuntu since v8.04 by following the instructions in [URL] My fstab file has this line
Code:
//192.168.0.2/office_d /media/office_d cifs credentials=/home/peter/.smbcredentials,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0
which in the past has mounted the windows share without any problems.For some reason this doesn't work anymore. The .smbcredentials file is in the same place it has been since it was created. I have verified that .smbcredentils is in the correct place.In order to find out what the problem might be, I tried
Code:
dmesg | tail
and got the following response

I can't pretend that I understand the full message, but it seems to say that it can't find/read the .smbcredentials file and as a result can't mount the share. When I change the code to
Code:
192.168.0.2/office_d /media/office_d cifs username=xxxx,password=xxxx 0 0
where xxxx is my username and password, the share mounts without any problems.I can't work out what I am doing wrong. Has the code changed? For obvious security reasons I don't want to place the username and password in the fstab file where everyone can see it.
I have a server with Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS completely patched up to date.I tried to mount a windows share using smbmount and unmounting it with smbumount. I did it as a non root user (let's say "someuser") and managed to mount the share without problems with "smbmount \\server\share xxx" where "xxx" was a directory on the user's root. After it I could see the shared files in the xxx directory, as it was supposed to be...
The problems came when trying to unmount it. Using "smbumount \\server\share xxx" didn't work giving "This utility only unmounts cifs filesystems." error message. Then I tried "smbumount xxx" and worked. I couldn't see the files in xxx directory anymore, and I could even delete xxx directory.
But now, when looking at /etc/mtab file, I still can see the share listed as mounted! The line is: "//server/share /home/someuser/xxx cifs rw,mand,nosuid,nodev,user=someuser 0 0". Also, df command lists the share as mounted too. But, as I said, the share is not really mounted, and I can even delete xxx directory without any problem... /proc/mounts doesn't list the share as mounted either... And, obviously, fstab file has no entry for this mount.
Moreover, /etc/mtab file group changed from root to someuser!I don't really understand what happened, but I assume some bug with smbumount or smbmount. Anyway, what does really worry me is how to fix this mess... I already changed mtab file group back to root, but I don't know how to return the mtab file to a consistent state.My main question is: can I simply edit mtab file and remove the inconsistent line?? I know one should never have to manually edit this file, but can it really be done in a situation like the one I'm describing? What could happen if I do it?
Also, I'm worried about if I don't do something to fix the inconsistency I could have problems when trying to shutdown the computer, or in any other situation. So, should it be safe to leave things unfixed and let everything return to normality when the system is rebooted?
My laptop has Ubuntu 9.10. It can connect to shares on my XP and Vista computers without issue, but cannot connect to a share on my Windows 7 system.

I don't receive any errors, it just won't connect.My XP and Vista systems can connect to the Windows 7 share, just not the Ubuntu system
